WOOL FOR RESORTS MEN USING RED, BLUE IN NECKWEAR
The widest use of the red and blue Coronation colors is in men's neckwear. Here their designs, both printed and woven are almost limitless as to type.
Foulards and striped repps dominate the picture and the foulards offer unusual variety.
New and attractive versions of established patterns are offered with the white ground woven Spitalfields. They represent a definite departure from the usual Spitalfield colors and weaves. Grenadine ties with both self stripes and colored stripes is another innovation. Spaced figures are increasing in popularity. On the campus, a continuation of the honored wool ties, both in foulard and checked patterns is seen.
Foulard silk breast pocket handkerchiefs are definitely "in."
These appear in Coronation reds and blues as well as in many interesting variations of colors and patterns.
CORONATION INFLUENCE
One of the strongest factors influencing men's clothing styles this spring is the Coronation of George VI. The official color scheme of red and blue is showing up in the smartest fashions for men.
Stripes and overplaids featuring these shades are the most popular. However, because of the brightness of the reds and blues the patterns are never heavy. In most instances neutral shades have been selected for the backgrounds which may be blue, brown or gray.
Woolen costumes for Southern resort wear appear in New York shops. This model is done in rose color linen. The princess dress is topped by a long-sleeved bolero jacket decorated with triple rows of stitching. The printed neckerchief is in dark green.
