‘Well tailored’ is

the ‘81 fashion
password for men

No news is good news —
five words which express
succinctly and accurately
what most menswear
designers and manufacturers
seem to be saying for fall,
1981.

Lapels are neither narrow
nor wide, shirt collars
neither small nor large.
Everything is, simply, just
right.

A trend toward = ex-
perimentation (in women’s
wear it would be called
“playfulness”) has, for the
most part, been replaced by
a serious attitude toward
men’s clothing, reflecting
the society of which it is a
part. What were considered
“details” only a year or two
ago are today dismissed, by
and large, as “‘gimmicks”.

The new conservatism
which seems to have taken
hold in this country finds its
expression in a host of well-
tailored, elegant, absolutely
classic suits in navy, gray
and brown.

Patterns in tailored
clothing are generally
restricted to stripes,

especially pinstripes, with an
occasional glen plaid.

INVESTMENT

” The economic conditions
which seem to be part and
parcel of the eighties have
given new impetus to an old

phrase, ‘investment
dressing”.
American men want

clothing that will endure —
in terms of quality and in
terms of styling. they want to
feel good because they look
good, And well-made.
nonsense sults fit the Hill.

no-

There’s a bit more ex-
citement on the sports coat
front, with lots of piaids
(very preppy!) and herring-
bones to accompany a host
of sold colored jackets,
including new variations on
the navy blue blazer.

Color, if it appears on the
office scene at all, will make
itself felt in shirts and tes.

A light blue Oxford cloth
shirt will sport a contrast
collar. The same shirt will be
repeated in a variety of
pastels. All of which look
absolutely smashing with the

trim, all-business business
suits.
COLORFUL SHIRTS

Also making its = ap-
pearance in the office in a
big way is the plaid shirt, ina
wide variety of colorations.
It’s the perfect perk-up for
that serious gray pinstripe
suit.

Look for lots of tab
collars, a continuing interest
in collar pins and, for -the

-man who is so inclined, a

small but significant return
to French cuffs.

The tie story? Stripes,
foulards, small scale plaids
and sophisticated knits in a
wide selection of patterns
and weaves. Neckwear
continues to be an area
where a man tan express his
sense of individuality.

Topping it all off are some
of the handsomest overcoats
in years, which rangé in style
from the classic trench in
every imaginable fabric —
and then some — to fur coats
that are absolutely the last
word in elegance.

Those men who wish to
combine fun and fashion
would do well to turn to fall’s
sportswear offerings.

A wide range of colors is
represehted for the
enthusiast, the urban
cowboy, and just about
every man who needs
clothes for his weekend
activities (or lack thereof).

Outerwear is designed for
warmth and durability, with
down, fiberfill, leather,
suede and fur sharing the
spotlight.

Styling is upbeat:
blousons, stadium coats, a
variety of stylized military
looks, bomber jackets and
sporty raincoats are all very

“much in evidence.

Perm Care {
by Eugene Berti

Owner-manager of
La Coupe de Ville

Follow these easy steps
& enjoy your perm to
the fullest...

. Shampoo your hair only when necessary. Over cleansing of
the hair only adds to wear and tear. Use a mild shampoo, i.e.
La Coupe de Ville Nuckoprotein Shampoo. Always follow
with a conditioner. We recommend La Coupe de Ville
Moisturizer. This will smooth tangles (prevent tearing).
restore lost moisture and put a protective film over the hair.
Lightly towel dry. If your perm is wash and wear, do not
comb, blow-dry or brush. Just fluff lightly with fingers and
leave to dry. Each morning, just spray lightly with water mist
and again fluff with fingers. Pick lightly with Afro Pic when
completely dry. If the perm is just a body wave and is to be
blown dry, avoid excessive pulling and stretching. Allow the
hair to partially dry and then just smooth into place with the
blow dryer. To maintain maximum amount of curl and body
from hair, have your hair reshaped every 4 to 6 weeks. This
will keep the ends in good condition and remove any excess
weight accumulated by growing since the last cut.
