Spring 1959 Men’s Fashion Shifts Toward Patterns and Browns
Canada’s Men’s Apparel Council outlines spring summer trends with a move from plain dark fabrics to patterns and lighter tones. Lightweight all wool worsted, checks and plaids in suits and jackets, brown tones in greens and burgundies, and Continental styling with padded shoulders, shorter jackets, and cuffless trousers define the season. Topcoats shorten to 41 inches, suitable for business or semi formal wear.
