Friday, March, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN , Style Trends Are Limited n n Due to War Few Drastic Changes Expected in General Cut Of Clothing but for Cuffs By Rod Monismith. Judging from the activity in the market, it is easy to see that mer chandise is going to be rather limited this coming fall. The War Production board made the ruling, that no store will be allowed to put cuffs on the trous ers you buy after March 30 of this year. This is definitely a rule that is punishable by the W. P. B., whereby any store that fails to meet this rule will have its supply of clothes cut off from delivery. For you Joes that wear nothing but double breasted suits. . .sorry but the W. P. B. won t yet you have a vest when you buy your suit. As far as the general cut of clothing is concerned, there will be no drastic change in styles, ex cept for the cuffless trousers. For spring there will be no ex treme novelties. Flannels will fit nicely Into the style picture. Grey flannels will be considered stand ard equipment in your wardrobe this spring. Plain effects are par ticularly important. This of course takes in flannels, worsted flan nels and the variety of such simi lar clothes. The softer type fabrics, such as shetlands and tweeds are cer tainly holding their own, even tho r it is generally believed that this Xype of clothing is objectionable for warm weather wear. Actually this type of goods is more porous than the flannel. Simplicity Rules. The general tendency is toward medium shades in clothing. Here again, simplicity rules. Varities and ideas taken from twill goods are going to be the most novel idea you will see this spring. It is not the heavy type of fabric that is generally associated with twill, but tends toward the finest of a gabardine. With odd Jackets, the number one alack is flannel. There is no indication that anything but plain colors will be wanted this spring. The important fact about jackets that has been growing the past few seasons is the moderate addi tion of length. The pockets are set lower so as to create a long style coat which ties in with the lower waist line. While we are speaking of the waist line we add that the coat is only sliehtlv simnretmed with a straight hanging back, with mere ly a tapper from the shoulders wn. As to the unit mfwiol tVi thru ouuon continues with only a "light change. This is the longer rolled lapel. We make the prediction that in few years the two button, peaked lapel will be the outstand ing change in the style of men s clothing. The double breasted jacket still retains it position in ppropriate type fabrics, altho the threebutton single in smooth fabrics seem to have the edge on 60-40 basis. 3 TONIGHT Jr. -Sr. Prom Coliseum jW' lit FOR SPRING Meet the New B.D.O.C. at the 1UN10R-SENI0R PROM WBneire We Fromro Mere?
