FASHION

Sunday, October 4, 1992 - North Shore News - 23

This season’s fashions follow a number of themes

From page 22

reminiscent of the streetwise looks
of the °30s and ‘40s are offered.
Simple, smart pieces are mixed
together for a second-hand blue-
collar worker look in unique color
combinations,

Retro lumber jackeis, artist's
suits, corduroy shirts, turtlenecks.
slim cigarette pants, rustic argyle
sweaters, tweed vests and biker's
leather collide in colors of ochre
(browned yellow), periwinkle,
light cobalt blue, rosewood and
Tusty red.

Western gear goes domestic for
fall in rough and tumble
separates. Home-on-the-range
fashions combine checks and
printed corduroy, rugged denim
and worn suede, outlaw black
with sterling silver, herringbone
tweed and oxford cloth, heavy
canvas and Navajo blanket fabric.

Vests, yoked corduroy shirts,
handknitted or intricately designed
sweaters, brown tweed blazers and
shirts with western ticking trim are
also part of the trend. And
cowboy boots finish everything.

A new awareness of personal
Style is apparent in a trend that
blends influences from opposing
cultures and social groups. The
hybrid fashion look ‘‘mismat-
ches” rich looks ‘with poor ones,
neglected appearances with
sophisticaied polish, handmade
clothing with mass-produced,
ethnic multicultural charm with
innovative design and even
masculine with feminine.

Broken-in, time-worn fabrics
are worn in matte colors such as
burnt umber (orange red), maroon
(browned purple), moss, plum,
Prussian blue and grey.

A growing number of North
Shore shops are helping to
dissolve the style-starved myth of
the Vancouver male. The North
Shore News asked several of these
stores the question, ‘If a man
wanted to buy just two items to
update his casual look fer fall,
what should they be?”

Here is what they said:

manager Catherine Ogden says

duroy pants.

Woodward's carries the denim
shirts in new colors of plum, jade,
black and deep indigo or faded
blue denim with subtle paisley or
Aztec prints. They are $50 by Ar-
row Collar Man and $55 by Ralph
Lauren Taps.

Ogden suggests cords by Dayz
to wear with the shirt. The cor-
duroy pants in a regular wale (the
striped texture) are available in
lan, navy, moss and charcoal.
They have straight legs and a
pleated front for $70.

Melrose Averitue manager Jody

Voong recommends buying a pair
of newly styled jeans, and then
sliding them under a tweed over-
sized jacket for a confident casual
look.

Voong states that men’s jeans
have dropped waists this fall, and
her shop has got them in the pop-
ular black denim or indigo blue in
a relaxed fit by Perry Ellis for
$75. Top them with a great jacket
in a fashionable three-button,

single-breasted style such as the

one by Italian Intini L’Uomo in
khaki and beige tweed for $296.

Rose Aiello states that a new
richly designed sweater is a great
way to start the season. Pull a
wool blazer over it instead of a
coat on temperate fall days for a
twosome that is setting trends.
Aiello Hkes Eaton’s gorgeous
line of Gant cotton sweaters in
rich abstract patterns that mix
shades such as grey, black, rust
and green. They are priced from
$150 to $160. A good buy in a
single-breasted jacket to layer on
top is the pure wool style by

Eaton’s label $159.99.

Dunn's International manager
John Clark says that a shade of
purple mixed with blue called
rosewood is a good color to add
in a shirt this season, and a
distinctive sweater will also give
your wardrobe a lift.

Striped, checked or solid shirts
in either pure cotton +r a silk and
cotton blend are colcred in a
rosewood by Boston Traders and
Gant for $70 to $145 at the store.
