Conservatism and Simplicity Not in Suits and Other Clothing SIMPLICITY is the keynote of full fashions for men's suits. All tracies of the novelty garments have been affixed by the designers who have reduced them with a vastly more graceful, practical vogue. One dependant upon superior tailoring and high grade materials for its class rather than on trick features as in the past seasons. The tendency to conservatism is more adapted to the well-dressed business man, providing a more dignified bearing, conductive to true power. The sporty suit has been succeeded by one that is more refined and correct. Quality Mark of Distinction Relaxing from their efforts to produce the so-called "smart" effects, designers have decreed that suits rely solely on their quality for distinction. Discriminating dressers have always been aware that it is impossible to imitate the elegant simplicity of high grade clothes with cheaper substitutes, so perhaps it was their attempt prohibitive prices in the past few years that begot the vogue of extreme suits. The fact that the clothes purchasing power of a dollar has increased nearly fifty per deal is probably, likewise, accountable for its abolition. Suits for Fall Graceful Suits are built along the natural lines of the figure, rendering them easy-fitting and graceful. Don't be missed in believing that the fashion has not its own basic style features; they are as clearly defined as ever, but are of an inbred nature constituted by the lines and tailoring. This permits more attitude in selection and encourages that desired individuality. From the high school youth to the mature business-like man this fashion may be adapted with equal success. Military Suggestions Gone Perhaps they lose something by sacrificing the military suggestion that was in evidence, reminiscent of the doughboy's uniform, but on the whole the change in style is distinct- Situities as in the single-breasted models, and they lend themselves so well and readily to this treatment that there is a strong probability of increased popularity as the season advances. The trousers seem to have struck a happy medium. Neither the light bottom or bell-shaped trouser legs are to be used, but straight and full from the hips down. This is also an evidence of the conservativeness of the prevailing style. They are to be worn quite long, breaking over the shoes without cuffs on the bottom. Vests Are Cut Lower Five buttons have been relegated to vests. They are cut a trifle lower with longer points conforming to the general droopy lines of the suit. Patch pockets were one of the innovations that showed the direct military influence and have been completely eliminated. Succeeding are the plain flapped inserted pockets, it will be noticed also, that they have been dropped several inches to a more natural position. There is practically no partiality shown as to colors—if any at all is evinced perhaps it is to brown which is always attractive and serviceable and has been somewhat neglected recently. However, green, grey blue and mixed materials are amply represented. Checks and Plaids Flicked An overdose of stripes has directed the choice of herring-bones, checks and plaids for Fall fashions. Overcoats, of course, show the same design as suits but are more liberal in their interpretation. Belts are often employed either fully circling or confined to the back of the coats. This produces a trim and jaunty effect relieving that object-lonable bundled-up feeling. Roomy patch pockets are also noted, and successfully further the effect of sturdy outdoor smartness that is correct and permissible in an overcoat. Variety In Overcoats Double-breasted models appear to be most favored, but the best manufacturers are also showing some very they are as clearly defined as ever, but are of an inbred nature constituted by the lines and tailoring. This permits more attitude in selection and encourages that desired individuality. From the high school youth to the mature business-like man this fashion may be adapted with equal success. Military Suggestions Gone Perhaps they lose something by sacrificing the military suggestion that was in evidence, reminiscent of the doughboy's uniform, but on the whole the change in style is distinctly for the better, and the variation is an added charm. Coats are semi-fitted with generally lower lines. Slightly waisted, several inches lower than in the Spring and Summer suits, and the pockets and lapels have likewise dropped. The lapels are medium notched, long and rolling. A medium vent is used, about eight inches, the shorter vent having proved ungrateful and not suited to the ordinary physique. As to the number of buttons, it is wholly a matter of choice, usually governed by the type of figure and individual preference. Two, three and four button models seeming to share equal favor. Double-Breasteds Stronger There is always a certain quantity double-breasted coats worn, especially in the Fall, and although they are not featured they have also received their share of attention.
