THE FAIR HAIRED BOY OF THE BEACH WALK

January 1935. This is the semi-formal evening outfit that will be worn by the best-dressed men at Palm Beach this winter. It consists of a white shawl dinner jacket with dress trousers of black or midnight blue tropical worsted. The jacket is of light-weight washable material in the single-breasted model that finally won out over the double-breasted type in the preferences of Newport and Southampton men by the end of last summer. The soft shirt is of white silk with collar attached, worn with a black rep dress tie in the popular semi-butterfly shape. The hose are sheer black silk with a deep maroon clock, and the pumps are patent leather. The maroon silk foulard handkerchief in the breast pocket here replaces the omnipresent dark red carnation. A tan camel's hair topcoat and a sennit straw hat complement this outfit on cool evenings. A wine silk cummerbund is recommended here.
