Men's Evening Clothes To Be Garnished With

Esquire Fashion Advisory Board Sees Colorful Summer Ahead for U. S. Males By BARBARA BUNDSCHU, United Press Staff Correspondent ST. GEORGE'S, Bermuda, Dec. 10—There'll be plaid trimmings on men's evening clothes next summer, male fashion experts concluded this week. The Esquire Fashion Advisory Board turnéd up for dinner in

strictly winter-time black and white dinner clothes after making that announcement.

But their daytime wardrobes, as they conferred, sailed, golfed and wandered through the soon-to-be completed expanses of the fabulous Castle Harbor Hotel here, were as full of color as these coral islands. And they promised that their summer dinner coats, and those of hundreds of American males, would be freightened with bright clan tartan bow ties and matching cummerbunds. They, and the rest of stylish American manhood, they said, also will be wearing sports shirts made of mosquito netting or sheer cotton voile and they'll be baring their knees under shorts in greater numbers than ever be- = -— fore. | Similar jackets in boys sizes Their conclusions were announ-| Were selling to women, too, in ced by O.
