A check-off list of salient styling points in new men's shoes would have to cover the following: two, even three-tone looks; leather texture combos; lacing and ties in all shoe types; the moccasin influence; center seaming. The take-over of lace-ups in both dressy and sportive shoes has been quick and understandable. After a long spell of slip-ons. It seems men were ready for a return to the tie shoes. The action began primar­ ily with tie-casuals, but has now penetrated the dress shoe field as well, notes Leather Industries of Amer- iCft. Updated leather oxfords are a big hit in two-tone combinations with perfed wing-tips or cap toes. Two- leather teaming is also used. Also in the dressy cate­ gory are five and six-eyelet ties without spectator de­ tailing. At the other end of the eyelet scale, high-tied one-eyelet shoes and ghil- lies display another laced look. Casual ties seem to have really traveled to the top of popularity polls, and men are wearing them in a range of styles for sport and lei­ sure. Among them are racing stripe ties and leather "sneakers;" laced-to-toe six and ten-eyelet styles,-usu­ ally in a sueded leather and sometimes appliqued; good- looking leather ghillies; and high-cut "workshoe" ties in sinewy leathers. Many use two- or three-tone theme and stitched-down soles. Dashing leather slip-ons appear most in favor this spring when displaying moccasin treatment. This shows up in a moccasin front, and in leather-trim­ med instep straps. Leathers are elegant: suede, smooth, crushed pat­ ent. fine-grained, brush- blended finishes. Well Pressed, VfellDressec' Knits Do It The higgest, development in men's tailored clothes in several decades is probably knits -- suits, sportcoats, blazers, slacks, according to the Men's Fashion Associa­ tion. The big suit and sportcoat features--wide lapels, pock­ et treatments, belted backs --are now available in knit3. Along with solid colors, there's a variety of patterns including stripes, herring­ bones, plaids and checks. Knits appear to have a distinctive feeling of their own, and can often be made to resemble other fabrics. If a man has a favorite fabric, linen perhaps, it can be duplicated in knit. Suits of polyester doubleknits look like seersucker. Nubby look­ ing fabrics can also be achieved in doubleknits. The most popular colors for spring appear to be tan, brown, blue and gray. White or light colors also appear to be part of the trend. Jackets continue to be long, with two-button single breasted style , showing up often. Lapelf are wide as are pocket fl.'.ps. Deep cen­ ter vents see.n to maintain popularity ind deep side vents may be making a comeback. **************************** TOUCH OF GREEN Spring green emerges this year as the season'^ great new accessory color -- in all its various shades, used in small subtle touches. Small and subtle are the guide words: a Kelly green belt on a slinky black dress; let­ tuce green gloves with a hopsacking suit; green and white spectator pumps. Just a dash--nothing big, noth­ ing chunky. -Page 4- Jewelry for Men Gets Good Rating The man of today appears to have won his fignt for equal rights. Suits are bold­ er, shaped and wide-lapeled, knitted as well as worsted. Jackets are belted, or patched with suede. There are fur coats for men, and wildly printed shirts. Even evening clothes appear more imaginative and unusual. What else is new? Jewelry seems to be becoming part of the revolution. One of the most unusual pieces appears to be the neck pin, many times re­ placing the tie for evening. And, it comes sparked with diamonds, emeralds, rubles or just plain gold. Rings seem to be bigger, bolder and less conven­ tional. Wrap cuff-links ap­ pear to be in favor. And for the first time since the 20"s the stick pin is around. Business and professional men, young and older seem to be interested in wearing jewelry. Even the baseball players on the winning World Series team receive diamonds to celebrate their victory. Hats Heading For Colorful Season As the calendar changes, men's hats change for the season ahead. New felts are brighter than anything seen in a whole month of springtimes--brick, frond green, azula blue, brown copper. A bright hue may be spiced with a tweed- weave band for the favored pinchfront, snap brim style. Newest look in casual fab­ ric hats is the duo-toner. It harmonizes tweedy check wool with specially colored hopsack. Pocket hats come on strong for spring in brighter colors and in te res t ing fabr ic weaves. The non-woven poly­ ester type takes punishment of rain and sun, avoiding wrinkles. For the more formal casual look, there are plaids, checks, herringbones and hopsacks, with the accent on lighter, brighter colors. Now there are "he-she" hats, too--witness the Coun­ terspy in a range of poplin colors. A young hat for girls or boys, it takes many shapes, rolls, folds. LIKED BY YOUNG Young homemakers -- in the 18 to 30 year age group -- are f i r s t t o accep t v iny l f ab­ rics for walls and furniture, surveys show. DOOR DISPENSER New idea for kitchens is a refrigerator-freezer with ex­ terior door dispenser for ice water and cubes. Creat knits in geometries and other patterned designs boast many assets. They've introduced a world of pack* able, easy-going fashions for the modern male's ward­ robe. Here, geometric knit slacks sport a wide covered elasticized waistband, flared bottoms and angle pockets. Sansabelt II, by Jaymar-Ruby. Evening clothes have taken on new fabrics.
