Tan Shades For Topcoats Vogue With Gray Next . ... - . ; , . ,:.::.c;. j So far as color Is concerned, all topcoats for regular wear are far- orinr the liahter shades of tan with gray a close foUow-up. This Is true because these are neutral abadea thaC sro with any color suit, and It la only aa extensive wardrobe, or two color wardrobe that permits having a topcoat la a striking ahade of blue, "green, or deep brown. For evening wear the black or oxford gray covert cloth is the most generally seen, in a double- breasted, alightly fitted model. This garment should be Included in every well-dressed ' man's wardrobe, because nothing looks Quite as ridiculous as a light col ored coat over. the sleek, black i run LUll.iLiin ! 4 7 .J Covert Cloth Topcoat is Established as Leader I i t After Start a Year Ago Natural Shade Most Popular; Tweed 2otiier Collegiate Younger Men TVUBING the Spring of 1930 Uf by men toward a preference for the covert cloth topr coat. For the Spring of 1931, it ia already definitely estab lished that this coat will be the ness man in particular, who emphasized by conservative dignity, despite the natural ten dency toward - light -jcolora and O j 1 ' easy lines at this aeason. The, covert cloth coat wiir . be most popular la the natural ahade of tan which goes so well with every kind of salt, and Is a norelty weaye the tan fabric that shows a green cast will' be soother well liked Tezsloa. Tha lines of these topcoats suggest the form-fitting type, but are not so definitely shaped as to detract from the English type ot soft draping. Al though some men are persistent In favoring double breasted mod els, in the covert coat the single breasted' models. . In the covert coat the single breasted, fly front style. 1 more generally seen, and J they advocafe both .peaked and notched lapels. ' ; ' i ! Tweed - Harris tweed topcoata are an other popular model with the more conservative man. and these are most often to be ; seen In shaggy materials In tan and gray shades, rather than In bolder col ors. Here.' too. the fly front Is favored, although In Harris tweed the doable breasted is given pref erence over the single "breasted. and raglans are beginning. to be worn as much . in America as they are-In England. Camel's Hair And becajise the camel's hair topcoat la considered a standby in the well dressed man's wardrobe, It must not; be neglected for this -new season. It -continues to ne worn in single and double breast ed models, in r&glan and belted types, although lapels seem to be training: rreater width. In natural tan the camel hair topcoat Is best liked for spring, though a few models wll also be seen In darker browns, bines and oxford grays. The university 1 man - whose wardrobe seta the pace for, stu dent types everywhere is giving first place to the camel hair, or polo coat for the coming season, and the double breasted, back belted model featuring white pearl buttons has taken a consid erable stride la popularity. Harris iweeds have gained recognition on the campus, too. particularly In single breasted, box coat atyles, , Button-through fronts take the lead, although a slightly formalized version of this coat advocates the button-through front. Jlere. again, tan Is the fav orite ahade, with gray tanking second. . In the lightweight eoac range for younger men there Is still an other style that the older set. has been inclined to Ignore.

He has good reasons to boast of his V- shaped white camel's hair sweat-1 and white flannels. fitted, according to the English manner. They are most frequent ly styled with plain backs, though ia western parts ot the Country, the belted back la shown favor, aa is the fabric known as Donegal tweed. Despite the fact that older men have" ranked the cov ert cloth coat first In importance, It Is : but frequently seen on col lege grounds, though a tew of the boys have taken to - it a fact which at least makes .lt worthy of consideration even for. the atn dent i wardrobe. ' 1 - Fleeces . Next we come to the man who goea in for the type ot clothes favored by the fashion plates of New York's Broadway. These men put tweeds a little in the back ground, and favor Instead the fleece fabrics particularly the light tan camel coat In the more moderate price ranges.; The tweeds rank next in popularity, particularly in the hoar-glass style, which emphasises width ot shoulders and slenderness of waist. It Is: auite noticeable ; in these coats that the shoulders are built on : horizontal lines and- are padded to give a stalwart, effect. The narrow waist Is still further emphasized by a belt, though the beUless type Is frequently seen both being preferred ' . ia double- breasted styling. . T ' ; The Trench Coat Another topcoat, favored by both, the university and 4 sporty type of dresser is that in cordu roy a sporty, long wearing, wea ther-resisting fabric that 1s at its best in a trench model-featuring belt, belted wrists, double breast ed closing, and woven leather buttons. These coats are particu larly practical for driving, for country wear, on the steamer, and over riding habits and aviation outfits.
