Correct Easter Styles in 1915
The piece notes a shift in Easter attire as men increasingly favor the single breasted cutaway frock suit over the Prince Albert. It highlights imported fabrics like Glen Urquharts and Tartans, broad lapels, form fitting backs, straight hung trousers, and a popular young man’s suit with a thirty inch coat and a vented back.
Waistcoat Styles and Hats Dominate Early Spring Fashion
The piece notes waistcoats either roll collars or hone at all with five buttons, medium English trousers hanging straight with narrow cuffs, and hats ranging from stiff to soft. Young men favor medium crown rolled brim hats, diagonally striped neckwear appears, many color bows, shirts trend toward plain soft effects with few tucks, silks and flannels rise, colors and patterns explode, flat sole silves with narrow heels, and cloth top gains favor.
