Popular colors are brown, blue and gray, with tweed mixtures and pin chalk stripes predominat ing the styling. Blue Saxonies are seen in offices, with a two-button, double-breasted . jacket, .. shorter than ever, and carrying long-roll lapels. Accessories to this suit would be in keeping with the con servative trend: white shirt, black shoes and harmonizing . four-in-hand tie . . with diagonal broad stripes. , '. . For less executive or formal business wear, the brown' chev lots are popular in town. The short jacket has a regular welt pockets and no 'flaps. Trousers . are also narrower and cuffless.

"Acces sories : should include: blue , and white striped ." shirt, small-patterned red. and. gray 'plaid ". tie, gray felt hat with black band and brown oxfords. ' Tweed is, the campus .lender.

'The . double-breasted jackets now measure twenty-nine inches for the standard size 37. There is more taper to the 'sleeves and the chest has less fullness than usual.
