masculinity and Peacocks
'Unisexuality' Unites Fad and Fashion
By CHERYL MEHAN
Flare pants, blousy sleeve shirts and flowered prints no longer belong solely to coeds at the University of Kansas.
Men are running away with the spotlight. While KU coeds enjoy wearing the very casual dress, all men wear fitted focus to the new men's wear.
Some of the new looks men have adopted come from women's fashion. According to Lawrence fashion merchants, the "Tom Jones" look of the blousy dresses and shiny-taped skirts is the current style.
The look was first worn by women.
The combinations of striped slacks and flower print shirts is another popular style known as
the look of the "peacock." Both these new looks are becoming popular for campus wear.
Lawrence merchants have differing views on the new trend in men's wear. Some think the look is faddish.
"The Tom Jones look is a fail and has a very limited scope, luggedness and individuality are making it difficult for a masculine look," he said.
Pete Whitenight, assistant manager of the Town Shop, said, "The primary emphasis in men's wear today is shape in both the new oaks and shapes are stimulated in colors and fabrics."
He explained that fashion follows a cycle and that men will eventually return to wearing clothes for style rather than fads.
