Men's Spring Fashions
Men Urged To Select Color That Does The Most For Them
The first principle of color coordination in suits and accessories is to select the color that does the most for you and then stay with it.
Blue is by far the most popular choice . . . its accessory choice is almost limitless. Hues of blue and grey can be alternated with maroon shades. And if you've a desire to be more daring, express it in your tie. Choose gold or silver jewelry for accessories.
Brown rates a close second to blue. It goes easily with an infinite variety of accessories. For example, you can wear it with every shade in the beige family.

The dark blue suit, for example, is essential and right for informal evening gatherings. The tweedy sport coat is acceptable neither for parties of this sort nor for business, but has its place at picnics or at the country club.
As never before, menswear makers are placing great stress on the "natural look." This indicates an increasing number of clothing styles that bring manis himself a natural body. As padding him only slightly to flatter his figure.
Menswear authorities point out that a wardrobe of this nature, keyed to meet the dress requirements of every occasion, is also a long-run economy offered by constant rotation of the clothes.
With the large choice of suits and topeaches, on hand for business and street wear, for spring, wardrobe variety is easier than ever.
Perfect example of the "natural
The news in men's rainwear, for spring is that tweedy motifs, glen plaids and small checks can all be expected to be seen on stormy weather days.
These patterns will be featured on such classic rainwear styles as the coat with set-in sleeves and a fly front. Often this style is designed with a zip-in lining, that makes it adaptable for wear through all seasons of the year.
for the new season, along with the "natural shoulder" model with straight body lines, include the drape model with moderately broad shoulders, and the lounge model, with moderate width and slightly raised shoulders. Each of the three is expected to find an important place in men's spring styles.
