For the Well Dressed Man

An Authoritative Review of Fall and Winter Clothes and Accessories

ROBERT LLOYD TREVOR

FULL evening dress, the apparel for formal night occasions, should be at once the most inconspicuously, and, at the same time, the most meticulously careful garb which a man can wear. In general, it may be said that it has changed little within the decade. In detail, however, there have been a number of minor changes. Some articles of clothing and their accessories which are of the kind which will be chosen by the man who is particularly careful of his dress for formal occasions, are illustrated on this page. It will be noted that the full dress coat is conservatively cut; that it has three buttons and rather a wide lapel, faced with bright silk. Three types of evening waistcoat are illustrated—the waistcoat, by the way, should never show below the points of the dress coat—including a doublebreasted model with four buttons; a singlebreasted waistcoat having very short points and five buttons set close together; and a single-breasted, four button waistcoat with longer points and a deeper inverted "v" at the bottom. The first of the two singlebreasted types exposes a rather large oval of shirt bosom, and looks very well when worn with a single stud. In the four-button model, less of the shirt bosom is exposed in the shape of a long spear head.

Either a plain band or poke collar, or a collar with bold wings is suitable for full evening dress. In the case of the latter the opening between the tops of the wings should be well spread, and the white tie tied outside.
