den cs Suits THE MICHIGAN DAILY Veering From Bond Salesman I' Advance Notices Stress Com for tl And Good Sense Chalk-Stripes, Shetlands, Tweeds, Gabardines Are Outstanding All Clothes Sporty Fashion Arbiters For Men I!xpect Little Rigidity In Styles Of Dress It seems that the Wall Street type of student is gone for good, for again this year the spring suit styles for men stress the angle of nonchalance and . comfort rather than sleekness and perfection as was done a few years ago. At that time it was often heard said that one could not tell a stu- dent going to classes from a young bond salesman on his way to the scene of the day's work. Both were dressed quietly, severely, and, accord- ing to the concensus of opinion, un- comfortably. The big trouble was that when men got dressed in those days, they were dressed for stiff talk, stiff positions, and a stiff appearance. Color Is Coming But, in harmony with others, we say, thankfully, all that is behind us and men are dressing more sensibly each year, from the angle of com- fort, and more colorfully from all angles. Take, for example, suits that are being stocked by clothiers this spring on the advice of leading authorities from the centers where styles are made. Shetland sports suits, tweed sports suits, gabardine sports suits, and double-breasted chalk-striped flannels -that's the list of suitings for the coming season that are being most prominently mentioned. At first glance it doesn't appear to include much of a. choice, but the variation that are possible with these materials are legion. t Black And White Shetland First, take the perennially popular black and white diagonal, in shetland,' a native of the British Isles that has became a favorite internationally. As Apparel Arts puts it, if you can spend your week-ends in the country and you like to wear comfortable clothes, it seems like too much to go back to work Monday morning and dis- card your pet garb at the same time. And so the suit and its accoutre- ments come to town Monday morn- ing. Of course, there aren't many of us ,who week-end in the country while we are in school, although Ann Arbor might come under that classification. However, the same rules that apply to the commuter apply to the student all the more. He wants comfort all the time and he can achieve it through dressing with the styles. It's slightly difficult to get in a com- fortable position, feet up and head back, in early classes or those that always seem long unless your clothes encourage it. Sweaters Arm Popular With the above-mentioned suit, the black and white diagonal shetland, a good idea for accessories is a navy blue sweater, short and sleeveless; striped shirt and tie; brown buck shoes. Try it yourself and see how at ease you are, even though your head falls on the shoulder of the girl next to you in lecture. Then there is the checked tweed sports suit, which is found wherever one finds sporting men. One is a blue and grey tweed with a bold pat- tern and is the type of clothing that just can't be dissociated frorm any- thing smacking of the young men who go in for sport dress. It isn't at all limited either, for the parts of the suit can be worn as odd jacket, odd slacks, or with a sweater or Tat- tersal weskit. Heavy brogue shoes, navy blue pullover, oxford or flan- nel shirt complete the picture. Every- thing that follows the masculine trend toward roughness fits into this sketch: tweed hats, heavy sweaters, That Debonair Drape %(+ This suit illustrates the drape ef- fe t that is the predominant note in the clothes for men this year. hard leather and string gloves, knitted ties, tweed topcoats -in fact anything that combines with loose dch pey clothing. (abardine Is Prominent Gagardine continues to be one of the most popular and fashionable suitings for town and country or what have you. Originally, it was restricted, ac- cGi ding to the authorities, to sum- nmer wear, butt for undergraduates who want comfort all the year 'round it has become correct at any time and, as has been evidenced by its great popularity here this past winter, it is in. Spring finds it more outstanding than ever, after having been worn by sportsmen for years. It holds a well- deserved place in warm-weather fab- rics. Coming in various shades, as it does, you can suit yourself in this material and there walks not a man who will not look well in some shade of gabardine. The cut of these suits is, naturally, a big factor, but they are nearly all coming now in the de- signs that seem to fit in with the general theme of the material - sport and ease and comfort in warm weather. Chalk stripe suits, a fashion that has been steadily gaining popularity in this country ever since the Prince of Wales brought it over, needs no boosting to bring it to the fore. It occupies one of the most prominent places in what young men will wear to be in the swing of things this spring. It is always an outstanding suit in various shades of grey, in brown, or in blue, and leaders are predicting another big season for this immigrant. If we all had one of eac of these suits we would compose a city of un- usually well-dressed men, but since we probably won't have all' of them, we can always get one and alternate with the odd slacks and jackets to have many suits in one. Chalk Stripe Suit In Flannel Is Worn The soft fabric easy fitting lounge type of suit which has heretofore been confined to single breasted mod- els has stepped over the line in this perennial favorite of well dressed men in the warmer months - the chalk stripe flannel suit. Double-breasted is the favorite and it can be had with three buttons, carrying a heavy welt seam along all edges including pockets. The jacket may be worn either with white or grey flannel trousers and the trousers may be worn cor- rectly with an odd jacket of linen or checked tweed. While this might be classed as a tall man's suit, the striping will add height to those of shorter stature.
