Dress details that finish off the Well dressed man
Haberdashery is usually referred to as the minor accessories of dress and yet each season men are considering them more and more with major importance. That is because styles are becoming more standardized. In past days there was no definite acceptance of what was to be the proper shirt, tie or hosiery style of the season and men indulged in the greatest latitude in selecting their furnishings.
Today, if you really desire the correct thing, you can find charted channels of the trend of fashion and as you adhere or digress from them depends your standing as a correctly attired man.
The man who has a penchant for shirts with matched collars will find he may adopt them to his heart's content and be well within the edicts of fashion. That is so long as he confines himself to the laundered or stiff shirts and collars. The soft

The man who has a penchant for shirts with matched collars will find he may adopt them to his heart's content and be well within the edicts of fashion. That is so long as he confines himself to the laundered or stiff shirts and collars. The soft shirt with collar to match, even in the silk fabrics has run tsi race and is no longer accepted with favor by those who autocratically decree what the best dressed men shall wear.
Favor Narrow Neat Stripes
In these shirts the patterns that are considered smart are those of narrow neat stripes and small checked patterns and the color scheme confined to one or two shades—never more.
The entire shirt color scheme of the season is to be one of fairly subdued color effect. The higher colors and the bolder stripes are not as well placed in the fashion calendar as in past recent seasons. These apply less to the silk shirts than in the other fabrics but even in silks the milder effects are preferred.
Next to the collar-to-match shirts the big note is the plain, solid colors in madras, poplins, oxford, broadcloths and mercerized materials. Also in broadcloth silks and either dull finish or sheen finish effects. These come either, with or without, matched collars. White is very popular and next in order are the plain shades of medium and light blue, smoke and light greys, hello, corn and pongee tans.
Plenty of Color in Neckwear
Men who want color somewhere in their apparel scheme will find lots of latitude to indulge that desire in the neckwear styles and in all refined taste that is where high colors are best placed. Bliss stripes in repps and mogadors are extremely toney. All over floral effects and Paisley or Egyptian patterns will inherit much favor from the women's styles of the past season—these, of course, in cut and flat silks.
Black and white schemes are very well received—these in diagonal stripes and small floral effects. Knitted and crocheted ties while not quite so strong as last season will find many adherents in the more costly grades, this largely due to the rich effects introduced by specialists in the new weaving of knitted neckwear. In these ties cathedral weaves and the closer effects are best—more heavily knit and rougher effects seem to have fallen back in popularity.
No Change in Glove Styles
Not much that is new has appeared in glove styles. Mochas, caps and
No Change in Glove Styles
Not much that is new has appeared in glove styles. Mochas, caps and suedes for the early months with buckskin following as colder weather approaches. These gloves are made both with the plain backs and out-seams and the colors are chiefly grey, brown, tan, mustard, and ox-blood.
In hoslery there is every indication that fancy effects will show more strength of popularity than heretofore. In the worsted and worsted sox heather effects and the Scotchy patterns are profusely shown. Some of these clocked, some drop stitch and some without decoration.
In silks and lisles while plain shades will be in majority there will be a noticeable increase in the adoption of fancy pattern treatments. Even the plain shades will be embellished with fancy clocks, embroidered designs and self patterns. Too great a variety of colors are shown to consider any particular shade as the outstanding note.
Low Collar Liked
In collars for day wear the rather low turn down collar is the vogue. These are with considerable opening at the neck permitting ample throat room and plenty of space to tie the knot, which, by the way, is to be somewhat thicker than heretofore.
Semi-stiff collars have met with such approval for year round wear that these collars must be accorded first position in the fashions. For evening dress wear the stiff collar holds its own and the wing collar is considered more fashionable than the turn down for dress wear.
The fashion in sweaters takes its lead from a standpoint of utility, the styles quickly changing according to the sport calendar. During the early months when golf is still possible the sweater jacket or sweater vest with the sleeves is the feature. These are in heather shades or light tone of brush-up wool.
