=. Fashion for the past several sea-
sons has been marked by studied
Sedateness carried to extremes that
Appropriated doldrums. Now those
who shape the edicts have been in
aspired to make fashion more express
sive, more emphatic, more lively
doubtless as an antidote to the con-
ditions of depression to raise the
spirits and the morale Of men inso-
far as apparel aspect can Influence
!, the outlook.
So far the spring season we Will
see not only warmer colors in our
apparel but also more characterize
patterns The man dressed to the
edicts this spring will look more
spirited, more aSSertive, more ener-
Xetic and hence fashion will serve to
create q new momentum. a new ag-
gressiveness and new vigor that Is
so needed at a time when mems
spirits seem to droOp.
Plaids Are Prominent
In this new scheme of things plaids
become very prominent in the styling
of spring suits. These are largely
ON Glenurquhart motifs that offer
intricacy of design without theatre
cal holiness. These plaidS in inter
land over-woven effects permit Of
diversified color employment even
utilizing sprinklings OF such warm
shades as RED, green and puppies. Be-
cause these arc neutralized with more
stable foundation colors such as
--grays, tans end browns they are by
no means flambuoyant or loud but
:. rather pleasing in their Hastily SUBJ
duel forms.
Tweeds Are Vari-col0red
Tweeds will occupy All important
place In the fabric lineup for spring
as they have for the past two sea-
sons but In patternings the tweeds OF
this spring are decided novelties. In
stead of the conventional twO-tOne
basket weave treatments we now find
vari-colored intermiXtures almost of
the pepper and salt variety. The most
striking innovations in these tweeds
are In fairly large interval overplaids,
almost block designs and they are de-
cidedly attractive and smart espe-
Escially when worn by men of suffici-
Faent height and slimness to carry off
= large pattern effects gracefully.
Another important factor in the
= spring suit styles will be flannels
While flannels had some vogue last
season In odd sport trousers they
have not been used with much prom
inence for complete suits for q sea-
son or two. Now they are coming
back strong and offer q fine relief
effect for the two suit man in that
he can 60 in for the glen plaids and
for variety wear suit Of striped
flannelS. Most Of these flannels for
spring come in vertical effects, largely
in chalk line treatments. Blue with
white or red stripes; Oxford or CAM
bridge greys with white or black
stripes are the smartest effects. Many
Of these will be worn in the double
breasted peak lapel models
There have been no radical changes
In the modelling of suits for this
spring The models that introduced
themselves last spring and carried on
throughout the fall seem to be SIM
ply enlarging on their gradual popu-
larity. For instance the English
innovation last spring that it has
taken time for the rank and file to
reconcile themselves to the idiocyn-
Cracies of this style.
Double Breasted Gain Favor
While the double breasted coat has
always been looked upon as a better
tall than a spring style it will be
more prominent this spring than il,
many years. The trend toward odd
jackets and trousers will have much
10 do with this increased popularity
for the double breasted coats. An
other contributing factor will be the
vogue for striped flennels which al
ways look better and tailor better in
the double breasted models. During
the summer season when men will
wear odd jackets with sport trousers
the double breasted coats will be par
ticularly strong.
Enter the Combination Outfit
A decided departure in American
styling is designed for this spring
and summer season. That is the In.
production Of the vogue Of wearing
~ Aoat and vest of one pattern anc
trousers Of another pattern. While
this vogue is Of English influence it.
