Spring Suits For Men Sport American Influence and Ivy Looks

Spring 58 suit styles offer strong American influence with shoulder padding and three button jackets, plus enduring Ivy cuts with sloped shoulders. Trousers stay trim, fabrics range from worsted flannels to sharkskins, silks and tropicals, with washwear blends and new automatic washwear entries. Topcoats lean soft and short, jackets feature single breasted lines, and sports wear spans denim-like tweeds to challis with a bold array of patterns.

Lightweight spring topcoats shorten and modernize style

Designers adapt topcoats for active wear with lengths from just below the knee to mid calf. Suburban casual looks mix with business appropriate trim lines. Fuzzy tweeds yield to sleeker cloths as covert fabrics gain Ivy style appeal. Balmacaan raglan coats remain favored for ease of wear in lightweight tweeds and gabardines. Some coats blend tweed with silk or gabardine with Egyptian cotton for luxury.
