The article notes a shift to bold plaid and check patterns in jackets and slacks across colleges. It highlights Glenurquhart plaids, enlarged motifs, overplaids, bold herringbones, and color contrasts with brown, red, blue, and green. Accessories follow suit with vivid shirts, socks, and sturdy footwear to match.
Leather pigskin gloves rise in popularity for football season with light gray as the premier shade and dark brown as a versatile companion. Knitted and wool lined gloves gain traction for winter, featuring snowflake and reindeer patterns, checks, and various colorways from lemon to blue.
The piece notes a broad shift in men fashion from white handkerchiefs to colorful options. Deep wines blues browns and grays mix with bright yellows oranges golds and light reds. Plaids checks and stripes range from subtle to bold as dark tones pair with light accents.
Evidence of color popularity in men’s attire is seen in rising interest in boutonnieres. The flower in the buttonhole provides the dash of color needed for a fashionable ensemble, especially in formal evening wear.
The traditional boutonniere choices include red for dinner jackets and cornflowers for day wear. Several cornflowers are preferred over a single small bloom. Colors should contrast with the jacket rather than harmonize, ensuring the flower enhances the ensemble without overpowering it.
The autumn topcoat scene centers on the single-breasted raglan and balmacaan with fly-fronts and slash pockets in cheviots and tweeds. Balmacaan and reversibles grow popular, while double and single-breasted box coats trend looser. Ulsters, Chesterfields, and Guards coats anchor dress and country wear with rugged lines.
A survey notes more than 30 000 people attended recent one day outings by industrial and mercantile firms. Many workers also took vacations of one to two weeks in addition to the events.
