What’s wrong with this? It’s just too typical. Put some flare into Dad's gifts, especially if they are going to be gifts that he can wear. This is the age of the male fashion revolution, and Father’s Day

seems like the perfect time to have Dad join the ranks of those men who have freed themselves, or have been freed by others, from confining, restricting, “good old reliable” styles. - Instead of gifting Dad with the standard blue tie for his blue suit and brown tie for his brown suit, try selecting ties that enhance his wardrobe.' Colorful, printed or striped, wide ties add dash and style. Thousands of Scarves And how about scarves? There are literally thousands of styles and color combinations available with scarves, and they add comfort to Dad’s leisure time outfits. Love ■— the most traditional Father’s Day gift — is often given along with other customary presents — such as shirts. The very color of the shirts can sot the mood for Dad’s Day. Rich, deep tones reflect an air of today. But solid, light tones, stripes and checks as well as white-on-white shirts are not to be overlooked. A gift of slacks can be updated as a gift of slightly-flared pants. Dad will probably favor the conservative solid colored models, but nonetheless this can be a big step in reshaping Dad’s wardrobe. Reshaping Dad And speaking of reshaping or shaping, a new shaped suit, double or single breasted could offer Dad a real opportunity to get in shape — and a fine family choice for the special, big gift. Sports jackets can also be included among Pop pleasers for his special day. Comfortable, lightweight styles for those up-

coming summer months should be a welcome addition to his warm weather wardrobe. Sportshirts — knits or durable press — are usually big favorites for his leisure-time wearing, as are lightweight outer jackets, useful for golfing, boating and all kinds of outdoors activities. If Dad’s a sweater man, he’ll

Stepping into the gift picture this Father’s Day might be a new pair of leather shoes. Antiqued leather slip-ons with monk strap have cap toe set off with pillow stitching.

Proud Pops, New Shoes Pair Off With all the apparel gifts Dad receives for Father’s Day, he’ll be able to step out in complete comfort and style if he also has a pair of new leather shoes. The day of the Dad with one or two pairs of shoes has passed. Today’s Dad likes to dress right, and that means the proper pair of shoes to fit and enhance each occasion. < In both dress and leisure styles, American leathers offer a wide choice of textures and finishes, from smooth and grained leathers to new crushed patent leathers. If Father likes footwear with an air of informality, soft-living leather casuals let him enjoy himself right down to his toes. Actually, many of this year’s casual shoes for men are appropriate for all but the most formal occasions.

probably enjoy the new styles of pullovers, button-ups, zipper-ups. Just for an exciting twist, try a vest. There are always the good reliables that Dad can use. Pajamas, slippers, socks, belts, handkerchiefs and basic jewelry are just a few suggestions that make Father’s Day special.

Have an “In” Look Their high-cut tongues, plain or moc toes, touches of hardware and occasional monk-straps have an “in” look, crafted in leathers such as soft brushed, grained, waxy, glove and crushed patent textures. The Dad who is a moccasin man can be equally well shod this summer with a pair of new leather mocs. These are available in traditional loafer styles, and updated versions with brass bars and rings, tassel ties, straps, even a boot look. Leather slip-ons serve for business or his best bib-and-tucker. For the most part, toelines here are unadorned or lightly perfed with medallion. Dress leathers are mostly. <?f the smooth, fine-grained, embossed or brushed varieties. Ready for Leisure For those men who like the tied-and-true oxford, gift givers will find a generous assortment of laced leather shoes. Leather ties from colorful suede and brushed-leather leisure styles to perf-trimmed oxfords and brogues.
