FOR MEN

Easy knit dressing by Prima
Maglia with cotton cable
cardigan and striped
sweater.

elegance. Crepe de chine prints,
woven silk pastels, textured silk
geometrics, and linen blends
lead the pack. Ties are slightly
wider, about three and a half
inches with a bottleneck that
forms a smaller, neater knot.
Braces (suspenders) reaffirm
their importance this season, in
cool cotton and linen blends, as
do belts done in exotic leathers
like ostrich and crocodile.
Hosiery plays the occasion
game well this season with
scaled-down polka dots,
houndstooth checks, and deco
neats for business, water color
shades for casual evenings, and
flamingos and pineapples for
play.
"It's really a season of
beautiful clothes done in
beautiful fabrics and beautiful
colors," Kosins surmises. "We
have finally reached a happy
medium that borrows the best
design elements from several
eras and from several countries.
A real international feeling."
