New Season Men's Wear Plays
Up Color, Fabric, Natural Look
fashion's Dlatform of well-
styled apparel for men is one
that will win votes from every
aide! This Fall there's an unus
ually smart line-up of candidates
for election to a man's wardrobe.
The leading favorite in the
suit campaign is the two-button
model, which is so flattering to
every man. This style is being
shown for Fall in a wide array
of handsome fabrics, including
plain gabardines, striped weaves
and the important tweed group.
There are interesting varia
tions of styling in this two-button
suit. It is equally smart
tailored with large patch pock
ets, the newer flap pockets, in
cluding an extra change pocket
just above the right hand pocket
of the jacket, and the slit pock
ets. Lapels vary slightly as to
width. The lines of the jacket
range from sharply-defined fit
at the waistline to a more cas
ual styling falling in a looser
line from the shoulders.
Runners-up, not to be over
looked, are suits styled with
three buttons and higher lapels
and the well-tailored double-
breasted model .which always
' polls a large number of votes.
This season, the lapel of the
double-breasted suit rolls smart
ly to the lower button.
In the coat field, early returns
show that the Balmacaan is the
favorite top-coat. Men like the
easy fit of the raglan sleeves and
the casual lines. Tweeds and
novelty weaves seem favored.
In overcoats, men are choos
ing the double-breasted ulster
model, particularly in heavy
' fleece, the trim fly-front over
coat, and the handsomely tailor
ed single-breasted coat with
slash pockets.
Men who appreciate style
plus extra warmth in coats for
more casual wear, vote strongly
in favor of the storm coat. These
are tailored of tweeds or plain
fabrics that are treated to resist
wind and rain. Many feature an
interlining for extra comfort
during cold weather. All storm
coats are distinguished by a
fur collar, mouton being the favorite.
A new candidate for men's ap
proval has appeared on the fash
ion scene the surcoat. There
are many variations of this cas
ual style, which is jacket length.
Many are made of weather-re
sistant fabric with a fur collar.
Others feature the plain collar
and zipper front.
In fall and winter clothing, the
trend is away from weight. New
fabrics, in their wonderful
blends, are created to give
warmth without weight, yet sac
rifice no part of smoothfitting,
good looks!
The comfortable look is not
only apparent in suits, sports
wear and topcoats but alse in
hats and men's furnishings.
The smart hat is the narrow
brim style with brims around
two and half inches wide. The
smart necktie is the narrow bow
tie, or the neat distinctive four-in-hand
cravats with panels,
small patterns and spaced fig
ures.
Big news in topcoats is the
trend toward tweedy fabrics.
Herringbone patterns are espe
cially good looking often styled
in the English manner with rag
lan shoulders. Zip-in linings
make these tweeds go 'round-

Subdued Color;
More Variety in
Fall Neckwear
Neckwear is more important
than ever as the focal point of
interest In men's outfits for fall.
Coordinating the color and de
sign of a necktie with a suit and
shirt is the signpost to a well
groomed appearance.
In every case, the shade of the
suit should be the key to the
selection of the proper shirt and
tie.
If a suit is tailored of a tex
tured woolen, such as checks or
tweed, avoid small patterned
ties. This combination tends to
give the outfit a "busy" look.
Choose instead, wide stripes, a
plain color or a knitted tie.
Small patterns, such as geo
metric designs, polka dots, spac
ed figures, or big, bold designs
go well with the plain suit.
If a shirt of the same color as
the suit is worn, select a tie in
a contrasting color. . When the
color of the shirt is contrasted
to the suit, key the tie color to
the suit.
The selection of handsome ties
for this new season is unlimited
-both in design and array of
fabrics.

One point is outstanding
throughout the fall showing of
boys' apparent styles for boys
are keeping pace with men's
fashions. Boys love "just-like-Dad's"
clothes and this year
both Dad's and son's fashions
' are appearing simultaneously.
As in the men's field the two
button suit is the top favorite.
It is easy fitting, comfortable to
wear and styled in a wide range
of good-looking woolens.
Tweed is the favorite and is
being shown in many hand
some weaves. Often this tweed
suit is sold with an extra pair
of plain color gabardine slacks
to give a boy two smart outfits.
Double-breasted suits are a
smart choice for dress-up wear.
These are shown In dark-toned
woolens, gabardines and flan

Again, tweed is rated high for
topcoats. The single - breasted
casual coat is foremost and
usually features a zip-in lining
for extra warmth. Doing double
duty in boy's wardrobes are the
topcoats which are treated to be
waterproof and csn be worn as
a raincoat.
Corduroy is favored for extra
slacks because of its rugged,
long - wearing quality. Boys'
slacks are tailored of both plain
and patterned corduroy with
the peg-bottom style making a
big hit with boys all over the
country.
Corduroy jackets are as pop
'. ular as ever and are usually
shown in plain colors.
Sport shirts, too, are being
featured in printed, striped, and
checked corduroy and show
signs of being well-received by
: boys for school wear. Cotton
flannelette in dark - tone plaids
is a smart choice for sport
shirts. It s warm, washable, and
good-looking.
Denim still ranks as a big
favorite for slacks and tiie
newest style to appear is flannel-
lined dungarees. These promise
to be a big fashion, with boys.
Boys' sweaters for Fall, '52
are gayer than ever taking
their cue from the styles for ski
wear. They are usually shown in
a combination of colors in crew,
turtle, V-neck styles, as well as
the coat sweater.
Jackets are making big news
In boys' togs particularly the
surcoat. This longer - style
jacket often features a mouton
or sheepskin collar and it's tops
for knockabout wear. Both
belted and straight-line models
are shown.
Reversible jackets and coats
are big favorites in boys' Fall
wardrobes. These are styled
with one side of water-repellent
gabardine and the other of deep
piled woolen, "

Rounding out the men's fash

zest to outfits.
There are colorful sweaters
that are styled, and worn, as

Casual jackets appear in a gal

The sweater - and - skirt feel
ing is a strong one in the Cali

when translated in such combi
nations as wool jersey combined
with sweater knitted tops
sweater-knits with flannel . . .
tweed with woolens, and others.
Color in most cases is the pri
mary coordinator, and is used
skillfully so as to provide for
alternate combinations. Rib
bings, soft sleeves, the use of
wool jersey or cashmere, all
contribute to the sweater-skirt
feel.
California takes a costume
approach to the fashion with
return to some extent in dressy-1
versions for Fall. Quilted taf
fetas, quilted effects on velvet
and velveteen are being seen in
some collections.
Velvets and velveteens, felts,
metallic fabrics are pointed up
for starring roles in the dressy
separates picture. Topped with
camisole tops, sweetheart neck
line blouses, and novelty top
pers, these skirts wing into Cali
fornia's fashion scene, with gay
abandon in dressy and casual
styles.
Halter-neckline dresses with
matching or contrasting little
jackets are treated with an ele

Black combines with white or
