Christmas is right-around-the-corner and so is the problem of what to give that certain man in your life.
Today, with the emphasis placed on male fashions, clothes seem to be the best gift idea. The white dress shirt is due for a comeback with full collars, deep cuffs, and new surface treatments. Striped dress shirts enhance suits, whose lapels are expanding to allow for the wider ties.
Flare-leg trousers continue to be a must in men’s wardrobes. Bell-bottoms come in stripes, plaids, and solids for both casual and dress wear.
For cold weather, double-breasted raccoon coats at the midi length and leather outwear are “in.”
Great for bracing cold winds will be electric socks using “D” cell batteries. Vests and blankets with space craft insulation are other warm ideas for Christmas packages.
In various parts of the country, the “Captain America” look is raging with hats, shirts, pants, and boots bearing the stars and stripes.
Some men will have to resort to carrying purses because the fashionable new shirts and pants do not have pockets. Earrings and necklaces are also advertised as fashionable attire for men.
For most men, a stylish yet neat and masculine approach to fashion is the best bet. But girls have a hand in dressing their men—the final choice of what goes under the Christmas tree is power.
