Some Styles Never Change
Many styles of a college male's
apparel seem to stay on forever.
Concerning o u t e r w e a r, the
trench coat is a perennial favor-
ite. Generally the cream-colored
models are the most enduring, but
darker shades, especially black,
have also been consistently seen.
In addition, the heavier corduroy
outercoats have also persisted.
The models are often dark green
or tan in color.
Next, in the sport coat line, a
favorite for years, has been the
tweeds. Varying shades of brown,
particularly in the Herringbones,
are consistently bought. Another
favorite is the blue blazer. This
versatile model is frequently worn
all year around.
Turning to dress shirts, the Ox-
ford cloth, especially with the but-
ton-down collar, is a long-time
favorite for the college man.
White is still the traditional col--
or for formal wear, but the stripes
and pastels are gradually taking
over.
To go, with the sport jackets
and shirts is the traditional tie. It
is the striped model in a variety
of color combinations. The diag-
onal stripes also vary in thickness,
but the striped effect is still pre-
sent.
Another clothing standard has
been the khaki pants. This style
is worn to class as well as with
the brown tweed sport coat on
more formal occasions. The cuffs
may have gotten a bit narrower
but the khaki look is still defin-
itely a stable style.
A last fashion constant occurs
in footwear. The cordovan loafer
and, to a lesser extent, the wing-
tip brogue, have been on the cam-
pus for years. In socks, dark colors
have been standard wear, but
more shades are now being worn.

COMPLETE LINE OF MEN'S LEVI'S
Wiggery
Long hair, short hair, blond, red
or black: no matter what kind of
hair a girl has today, she can have
a different kind tomorrow. All that
she has to do is buy a hairpiece.
Hairpieces are appearing o n
hundreds of Michigan coed's this
fall. Girls with short hair sudden-
ly have braids, chignons, swirls,
and tails. Girls with long hair
look as if their hair has grown 10
inches overnight.
Daring people not only change
the length of their hair but also
its color. However this does cause
some problems. The person who
wears the wig may decide that
her personality should change
with her new hair. Thus, men had
better beware when their usual
curly, brown haired date appears
with long slinky blond hair.
New social graces are appearing
to cope with the hairpiece. Fel-
lows are learning to be discreet
when their date's hair falls off.
They are learning not to look too
shocked when their date appears
in her new hairdo. Girls are learn-
ing to be understanding when
their dates don't recognize them.
Hairpieces sometimes c a u s e
problems, but they also cause fun.
Today they are priced to fit any
girl's budget. So men, don't be
surprised if your date turns up
with a long switch of hair. Just
be careful when running your
hands through it!
Look Bright
With Fashion
No well-dressed coed can hide
in the background if she wears
this season's bright, dashing col-
ors. Grass green, rich purple,
crome yellow and hot orange
make any collection of fashions
look very much alive.
These colors look vibrant by
themselves, but today's fashions
make them look even more vi-
brant. Dress designers today are
combining colors which would
never have been combined yes-
terday.
For example, one dress by Lit-
tell has long green sleeves, a yel-
low bodice and a bright red skirt.
Its belt is striped red, yellow and
green. Another dress by St. Lau-
rent combines bold stripes of
black, royal blue, purple and
green. Fashions look more like
pieces of art than ever before.
Prints combine the colors that
are used individually in dresses
with strong"lines. Pink and or-
ange paisley is a hit this year.
Flowered prints combine all the
colors of the rainbow.
The person who watches fash-
ions can't hide in the background.
Colors have gone rampant.

New Styles First at Wild's
Cordu royls Here
For Fall of '66
Corduroy is hitting the scene in
many departments of the male
collegian's fall wardrobe. Wide
wales in solid'colors are becoming
quite popular, in addition to the
more traditional narrow wale gar-
ments.
Outer jackets are frequently
wide-wale corduroy versions of
the pea coat. Styles vary from
the horizontal cords with silver or
gold buttons to the more familiar
vertical corduroy. Such custom-
ary coats feature slashed upper
and flapped lower pocketsuand
wooden buttons. Linings can be
found in any color pattern, from
bright red to gold or paisley,
Turning to sport jackets, the
cord look is illustrated in the
t h r e e-button, natural-shoulder
models with flapped pockets and
leather buttons. Some versatilej
types can be converted into outer
coats by adding a wool or rayon
lining.
Corduroy pants, which are tra-
ditionally thin wale, are supple-
mented by the thick waled types.
Models include the cuffless slacks
and the Western style jeans,
Completing the cord trend are
the Western style sport shirts,
which were previously dominated
by the wool flannel material. The
pinwale corduroy selections main-
tain the popular button flaps for
the chest pockets.
The corduory material, in ad-
dition to being the most tradi-
tional material of many styles,
has also shown itself to be easily
adaptable to the newer "Mod"
styles which have become so pop-
ular with the young set.
