Sports Suits, Jack
Tops For College
Redback Gabardine
Is New Style Hit
Sports suits and sports jackets,
the college man's stand-by,_ are
in the ascendancy this spring.
Colorful and comfortable sports
clothes that are easy on the
pocket-book , have a certain at
traction for the collegiate fashion
leader.
Long, straight-hanging, three
button coats are rather plain in
line and design but give full play
to colorful patterned fabrics.
%Plaid' Patterns will predominate.
Gabardines, Bedford cords, and
cavalry twills will provide the
material leadership. An unusual
fabric from the warm southern
countries will catch the eye of
those seeking the unusual dress.
It is a redback. gabardine with
an irridescent effect that dispels
heat And sunlight.
Camels hair and Shetland are
also two leading materials. Var
ious shades of tan and heather
will set the color note for sports
coats and suits.
Bi-swing pleats, stitched-on
belts and long center vents some
what :similar to the military cd ;
ficer's blouse may set the style
for•some jackets with their mili
tary influence.
Slacks will be chiefly gabar
dine, .overt, or flannel in browns
or . tans. Solid color slacks and
bold plaid jackets will be the
ideal combination for the would
be campus smoothy.
- White buckskin shoes with red
rubber soles have already given
indication of their style superi
ority by displacing the 'tradition
al campus saddleshoes.
The sportswear picture would
be'incomplete, however; without
the loud, colorful argyle hose al
ready well known to collegiate
wearers. Yellow, more modernly
called sand-dune, has made a
surprise appearance as the color
to dominate in accessories.
Coconut straw nuts, even more
popular than last year, and foul
arde neckware add the final
touches to the sports ensemble
and give the "college hot-dog"
that: "Joe 'Esquire" polish.
Blues, Browns Will Be
Leading Spring Colors
For Men's Clothing .
• Blue and gradations of brown
will be the leading colors for
men's suits throughout the
spring and summer seasons, ac
cording to. the people who
Emilypdst styles for the Mascu
line sex•. .
Gabardines, Shetlands, flan
nels and tropical worsted suits
are expected to lead the field.
The majority of the suit coats
will be out for three buttons and
will have a center vent.. Plain
backs will probably dominate
on the single-breasted suits.
The suit-coats will be loose
hanging and from one to two
inches longer than the winter
styles. Drastic changes may
occur in the pockets with flaps
over the breast and change
pockets.-
Gleri4plain worsteds will also
be excellent, as lightweight
tweeds •which now divide their

Men
Foulard And Wool
Are 'Big' Tie Fabrics
Foulard silks, parchment, and
light Weight wool will be seen. in
abundance for spring neckwear,
leading stylists believe.
The influence of yelloW is im
portant as the colors range from
creams to bright canaries. Neck
wear as a whole will be very
colorful this
,season to brighten
up the conservative shades of
sportswear.
Harmonffing stripes, spotted
patterns, and light shaded tones
with complimentary handker
chiefs will dominate the styles.
Hand knitted ties are expected to
increase on their high selling
scale.
Comfort Needed
IN Formal Dress
Evening wear for the Junior
Prom, fraternity dance, or any
other social where formal attire
supercedes sportswear will see
the doublebreasted evening
jacket in predominence.
"There is probably no gar
ment that is more flattering and
becoming to the average col
lege man," states 'a prominent
magazine on men's fashions.
Demand for comfort in form
al dress has resulted in both
clothing and accessories manu
facturers supplying . merchan
dise in sheer but durable fab
rics
The white Palm Beach coat
with black - or midnight blue'
trousers continues to be the tra
ditional combination with few
exceptions. A few maroons
may take the place of black or
blue in formal combinations.
Smart and comfortable neck
wear and shirts follow the
theme of comfort in evening
attire. A new dress shirt on
the local market is smartly
fashioned with 28 small pleats
in front and collar attached.
Favorite accessories for many
years, maroon ties, boutonnieres
and handkerchifs promise to
hold their own again this spring
and summer.
Brown, White Shoes
Are Popular Footwear
Brown and white shoes have
caught the College man's eye for
distinctive campus footwear this
spring, according to local merch
ants. •
The two-tone color has replac
ed the all white shoes of past
seasons and outside stitching has
become more popular. The brown
and white moccasin toe shoe and
the all white buckskin with red
rubber soles will be ther . vogue in
sportswear.

time between the semisports
and classroom wear
Gray flannel, conservative,
yet ' affording opportunity for
gaily patterned accessories, will
team with gabardines in light
sand colors.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Changes Made
In Slack Suits T S
Slack suits for very informal
wear and lounging purposes are
reported to be better in every
way this year over last season's
models. More shapely bodies,
better-fitting -collars, and smarter • j
lines are stressed.
Additional improvements in -
this year's models are more pleats • -
and tucks for give-and-take,
better • tailoring, nicer-looking
belts, and a wide selection o.'
fabrics, weaves, patterns, and
colors.
• Two-way or convertible col
lars that fit like dress shirts
when closed and set are conveni•
ent to the sandlot athlete who
must report to the dean's office
before going •home- to change.
Originating two seasons ago
and slowly gaining the, suppoe
of campus men who make or
break fashions, the sport shirt
with long sleeves finds its place
with the slack suit this spring.
The pleat and tuck motif also
runs into the slacks with pleats
placed in the front. Slacks should
fit snugly at the 'waist and pos
sess sufficient fullness over the
hips and • thighs to be comfort
able.
Variations of tan once more
lead the color lineup for men's
wear although mixed colors will
be as prominent as ever with
separate shirts and slacks placed
in combination.
Plastic belts and ribbon sus
penders will blend with the new
slack suits. New ideas in leather
belts with combinations of tan
and white or tan and cream buck
also fit in with shoe designs.
Narrow suspenders with clip
ends will replace wide braces
for hot weather wear. Colorful
play shoes with open toe and
rope tie go . well 'with the very
informal slack outfit. Wedge slip
pers still retain a certain amount
of popularity for the same kind
of dress.
Men Shudder
AI Girls' Clothes
Fashion experts mg recom
mend high rubber boots, knee
length stockings, and head
scarfs for the well-dressed coed,
but Michigan State College's
male population observes such
dress with a chilly eye.
In inquiring-reporter inter
views with a dozen unrehears
ed "stags" on the 'campus, the
Michigan State • News, college
tri-weekly, discovered that men
like "less boot."
Some typical comments on
the latest in college girl wear
included:
"Long socks, especially blue
and green ones, look like in
fant's wear. Besides, they're
too coarse : . ."
"Most women look clumsy in
high boots or babushkas and no
stockings."
Other male complaints cen
tered on snoods or bandanas in
class—"they make the girls look
like gypsies"—nail polish half
off, bare legs, girls in front
rows of classrooms with dresses
too short, tall girls who wear
high-heeled shoes and short
girls ' who wear low-heeled
shoes, and the new boxing-glove
mittens.
Could Penn State men be of
the same opinions? Could be!
Yellow Shirts Popular
• One of the very newest things
in campus• wear is the canary
yellow. shirt with a faint white
stripe. It has a spread collar and
looks
. well with . a brown , polka
dot tie and. yellow. handkerchief.
