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.

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.

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,

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.
