The Wingham Advance-Times, 1964-04-09, Page 3Shirts and Ties Should Be Carefully Chosen There is a shirt collar to suit every man. The long - pointed ones go best with round or broad faces; the widespread Collar is for the man with a long, narrow or medium face; and men with long necks should favor the tab. The regular col- lar is suitable for most men. A tie with a Windsor knot looi<s best with a wide collar but the four-in-hand should be used for the tab or narrow col- lars, The bow tie looks fresh and dapper but emphasizes shortness and breadth if the man is short or stout. If the tie is a large pattern the shirt should be a solid color or a plain white. Likewise a modest design in a tie goes rvell,wizha bold shirt and may blend or contrast with the color of the shirt or suit. A spot -free and neatly pressed tie provides the finish- ing loo,. to an outfit. The fab- ric should be chosen wisely and to resist wear and soil it should have body. Ties should be hung up im- mediately after wearing. To remove wrinkles, cut cardboard patterns for both halves of the tie and place them inside for pressing. This helps to hold the tie in shape, straighten edges and prevents shiny seams. A steam iron is excellent for pressing ties. Shorts Add to Summer Comfort Shorts are rapidly becoming a part of men's wearing apparel for summer, and why not? They are much cooler for beach, bac yard and suburban wear than slacks. The most flattering style for men is two inches above the Knee. Plaid gives a thinner ap- pearance for the stout man. To look taller select a sport shirt in a blending rather than con- trasting color. Be sure to buy materials that have been treated for shrink - resistance and stain -resistance. Some cottons have been treated for added crispness, which makes them easier to care for and better looking, Lots of Choice In Tots' Wear Doting grandmothers, and mothers, too, will be hard put to choose clothing for the pram set and toddlers.

HAYES FAMILY CLOTHING JOSEPHINE STREET PHONE 357-1700 "IT PAYS TO SHOP AT HAYES' Boys' Footwear Mirrors Adult Styling, Too The lassies are not alone in following the fashion lead set by grown-ups toward restrained shoe styling. Lads will be marching right beside their Dads wearing their own youth- ful versions of trim oxfords, brogues and boot -shoes in light- weight ightweight smooth and grained leathers. The handsewn leather moc- casin in waxy or glove leathers continues to be a year-round winner with the young male. Constructed with leather uppers and leather sole, the moc is rugged enough to withstand the most punishing treatment -- in- cluding life with a typical Can- adian boy. The sleek lines of the slipon puts the zing into spring for • young party -goers.

Many Choices In Sportcoats There is plenty of variety for the young lads in sports jackets this season, They come in herringbone checks and plaids and in pastel .colors. One line featured in linen or flannel has been shown without lapels. It sports the tapered look and a half belt. Of course, the navy blazer is still in style and lends itself well to summer trousers. There are laminated rever- sible jackets for all-weather wear; jackets with mohair fronts and laminated boucle sleeves and backs; and those with sim- ulated leather fronts and lam- inated boucle sleeves and back. A new feature for extra comfort in topcoats is a sleeve that is set in at the front and raglan at the back. This does away with pull and gives a bet- ter fit over the suitcoat. ALL—WEATHER COATS PLEASE BOYS,GIRLS All weather coats, with water repellent fabrics in tar- tan design reversing to solid color, plain reversing to gay prints or plain reversing to plain, are popular with chil- dren and teenagers for spring. They are styled for both boys and girls. Hooded, fleeced cotton jackets with front pockets, and the new squall jackets. oflight- weight, waterproof nylon with kangaroo pockets are excellent as children's play togs. Of course, the blazer is still with us and it's pretty hard to find anything smarter for the young lass than a navy blazer with white pleated vyella si<irt, There's a blazer for brother, too, with short trousers, but if he's four-ish he will feel that he is really stepping out in a pair of longs to go with his blazer. Little girls and their older sisters will Like the attractive mohair coats in pastel colors. Wool is coming hack and there are also pretty, silk boucle lam- inate coats. Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, April 9, 1964 * Page 3 Proper Style Choice to Diminish Width, Height The short, stout man must avoid thick or rough fabrics. A single-breasted jacket adds height. Tapered trousers with- out cuffs have a slimming ef- fect but neither trousers nor jacket should be tight fitting. He should not wear loud pat- terns. Smooth suitings with vertical designs are encouraged. New Glow Look In Men's Fabrics The neat, trim look both in the shoulder area and the trou- ser area in suits and sportscoats for men is the trend for spring. The natural shoulder effect is popular, lightweight blends of Terylene and wool, and wool and mohair in lighter and brighter colorings and shadings coming to the fore. The "Lustre Look" or"Glow Look" in the season's fabrics for men's apparel is created by blending the several different shadings, browns and blues in particular, to produce an iri- descent appearance. A short topcoat makes the legs appear longer, Long la- pels and tapered sleeves on jackets and coats, tapered hat crowns, long collar points and simple shoes all add height, The tall rnan has his prob- lems, too. The boxy appear- ance of plaids or checks adds width. He should leave the smooth fabrics to the stout man and lean toward tweeds, etc, for a bulky look. Low crowns and trim hat brims cut a little off the height. It also helps to wear a horizon- tally striped tie, spread collar and long double breasted over- coat. FOR THE GOLFER A new action sport jacket that will be popular with golf- ers this year has an action back with ventilated armpits, It is made in washable Terylene. There are Terylene pants to match in either slim or regular styles, Add to this a washable Sam- my hat with unbreakable visor and the male golfer is ready for the course. Handbags Are Deep Rather than Wide You will be well -armed this spring with a new softly -styled leather handbag. Indications are that detailing j.s more fem- inine and leathers are more ele- gant than ever. Small to largish in size -- with just a few,of the oversized feed -bag variety — this year's crop of handbags are deep rath- er than wide, and are consider- ably softened in outline and styling. The handsomest leath- er tannages, many interpreted in newly developed finishes, have been used to create this winsome spring collection... including grained, smooth, waxy, suede, lustre and patent leathers. With fashion project- ing a delicate, more romantic image, handbags in these beau- tiful leathers will add their own shapely charm to a well-round- ed wardrobe. Spacious but not cumber- some, the expandable satchel, pouch and tore were shown at spring previews in grained and brushed leathers, as well as the "natural" tannages. In addition to the natural leather colors, these daytime dandies come in a wealth of springtime shades, including the newest pale tones. Dress bags for daytime -wear parade such pretty effects as tucks and shirring, scallops, cut-outs and embossing. Popu- lar silhouettes in this category are the envelope, the pouch and the box bag --rounded or angular. From these wardrobe winners in leather flows an ele- gance that matches the season's most graceful new costumes. The excitement of after - dark fashion glows in the beau- tiful evening bags shown for the new year. The sleekness of suede and the gleam of polish- ed leather vie with many_satiny lustre leathers and distinctive reptiles for top honors in petite envelopes, clutches and chained pouches. Light is right when chosing a handbag color. The pastel pal- ette i all-encompassing -- blue, yellow, pink, green. Other favored shades will be scarlet, navy and bright blue, MEN'S FASHIONS in suits and sportscoats this spring are featuring the Natural Shoulder effect. Lightweight fabrics are shown in lighter and brighter colors and in blended shades.—Photo by Progress Brand.
