ü      THE BUSINESS SUIT. For fall there is a major emphasis on two-button suits, double-breasteds and for tried-and-true three button models, a host of new details like side vents, ticket pockets and peak lapels.

ü SPORT COATS. We will see plenty of sport coats and blazers this fall. It is the perfect alternative to the suit. There are new textured solids and plenty of plaids and checks that are right for business.

 

ü SLACKS.  The British accent is unmistakable in the pleats, plaids and particulars showing up in fall's lineup of dress slacks. With corporate America starting to clean up its act, there is a return to patterns, luxury fabrics and stretch. Men are buying better slacks to wear with leathers and suedes; also knits and sweaters. There is a comeback to more patterns - everything from graph checks and micro neats to large glen plaids and windowpanes. They are in interesting colors, like rust, olives and chestnut browns. The comeback of patterns has also revived the beltless slack with side tabs with either British forward or reverse pleats. Probably the most important development for fall is natural-stretch fabrics. The key word now is comfort and that means performance fabrics, like high-twist wools with natural stretch and stretch waistbands.
