Styles for Dad bring together classics and the looks of today @Today's fashions for Dad are i here to stay. According to the Men's Fashion Association, we are entering a period of classics and their updated versions, fashions with stylish solidity. In ties, for example, the fleeting flamboyant patterns of the past have given way to neat, , controlled patterns, orderly stripes and interestingly tex­ tured solids. Tie widths are moderate--quite a bit narrower than they have been for many years. The new neckwear has been proportioned to complement the slimmed-down lapels of suits and sport coats. This season's suits have slightly narrowed lapels in COMBINATION FOR FATHER'S DAY fSiwnallcHMf The Green Machine AM AUlRCHALXIIWt COMPANY LAWN EQUIPMENT •MOWERS •TRACTORS ROSS BUS SALES 1801 W.

JUNE 17, lftl three main styles: suave Euro­ pean, traditional or middle-of- the-road--which combines aspects of the first two. One indication of the trend in shirt fashions is the revival of the classic button-down collars. These old favorites are now available in the moderate tradi­ tional lengths or in slightly shortened, updated versions. Extreme collar stylings are "out," except for those fellows who want to be different. \ And, in business shirts, the move is toward quiet elegance expressed by classic stripes, neat checks and soft solids. Short sleeves are in There is a boom in short- sleeved styles for summer wear in both designer and traditional shirts. This trend may be attrib­ uted to the fuel conservation ef­ forts that keep thermostat readings high. Lightweight shirting fabrics such as batiste, voile and the usual broadcloth, oxford and chambray make this style even more desirable, pairing comfort with fashion. In sport shirts, the selection ranges from wovens, to knits, to very attractive Western styles. The latter, observes the MFA, are widely worn in the East and other sections of the nation, as well as in cowpoke country. Vibrant shades of red, blue and yellow, plus every other color of the rainbow, brighten the sport shirt scene. Except for some tasteful de­ tailing, the new sport shirts avoid gimmickry in design and will look current for several seasons to come The woven sport shirts range from solid colors to controlled patterns.

This season, and for seasons to come, pant legs will be straight or slightly tapered. Some Dads will want pleated slacks, but most will enjoy wearing those with plain fronts. Walk shorts have made a no­ table comeback, and they make fine warm weather casual wear. Other shorts include those worn for tennis and active sports, and the host of swim trunks for summer fun. For after-swim Cover-ups such as terry tops and cabana shirts make dandy warm-ups when Dad finishes his swim. Seldom have warm weather sport coats been better styled or more attractive. Textured looks in both linen and silk. featherweight blazers and cool, cottony fabrics such as seer­ suckers, madras and cord high­ light this season's collection. The most popular sport coats are those that are lightly pat­ terned or solid in color. However, there will be plenty of classic check and plaid designs for the Dad who likes a bit of variety in his wardrobe. "Right on" silk Silk and the silk-look is "right on" for summer suits. For those who can't afford pure silks, there are silk blends and polyesters that are terrific imitations.
