Evening Dress Reform
(From Our Correspondent.) London A new evening dress for men is the latest creation by the Men’s Dress Reform Party. In the “Little Lord Fauntleroy” style the suit may be in black silk of some cloth in mauve, salmon-pink spinach-green or blush-red. There is a white or silver-grey silk shirt in Byron fashion, and a sleeveless Knickerbocker suit buttoned down the side from neck to knee. Black silk stockings and buckle shoes complete the ensemble. A Cheltenham member has devised a form of dress which can be adapted to winter or summer. It consists of a tunic and knickers which are worn above the knee like Elizabethan trunk hose. The stockings can be turned down to expose the knees or worn long. The material may be adapted to the weather. The effect, instead of being futuristic, is quite mediaeval.
