ium the subject — is com new york advertising firm in forms us that the trend in men's clothes is toward the conservative gray flannel suits french cuffed shirts and formal gear in general ar becoming increasingly popular in the wardrobe of the american male there is even an intimation that this tendency may reflect a growing rightist view in american political thought this new look for men is sup posed to have started in the ranks of the general population and the sudden demand has caught the ha berdashers unprepared according to this release of inside fashion dope we american men need no advice as to how to get rid of our money we dream up our own style changes and then lay out all sorts of cash to provide ourselves with the clothes neded to conform with these styles the development of a new cool er soft collared tux shirt has noth ing to do with this sudden mad rush for formal attire if we are to believe the fashion news crepe soled shoes the like of which we haven't seen since pre-war days ar also coming back in a flood at the request of the man-in-the street of course while light weight woolens and worsteds are becoming increasingly popular college men responsible among all us men-folks the fash ion release says we college men are chiefly re sponsible for these style changes but the high school boys also re ceive some credit they no longer wear blue jeans loafers and sweatshirts we have all seen the manifesta tions of fashion changes on our own campus lehigh men are be coming increasingly conservative in their dress many jackets and overcoats appeared during the past winter months and shoes are also being worn to some dances and formal gatherings this upsurge of conservatism in lehigh clothing is a direct reflec tion of our traditional political conservatism as the international situation worsens we may expect to se even the above-mentioned crep-esoled shoes worn in conjunc tion with black homburg hats perhaps of course such a sudden change in style could not be construed as radical not by the fashion experts and clothing manufacturers to them it is simply level-headed conservatism and we should rejoice in it whether we can afford the cash to meet the increased ward robe or not h r knickerbocker look magazine covers affair with reporters costume party given by belts evening in paris was the theme of a costume party attended by close to fifty couple
