BLUE EVENING SUITS

Fashion in London Sydney, January 4 “London men are the best dressed in the world,” said Mr. A. W, Lindbergh, a London tailor, who arrived by the Ba.radine yesterday. Every season, he said, there was a slight change in men’s fashions, though it was not as perceptible as in women’s fashions, because it was featured more in cut than in fabric or colour, which the London tailor gauged by the personal tastes of his customers. The latest evening dress for men was made in a very dark blue, that looked a rich black in artificial light, and was considered a great improvement on Mack, which frequently looked duH and grey. “Tails” were being worn even more generally, and were made shorter waisted, with a straight front edge, and with correspondingly shorter roiled lapels. Dinner jackets were being worn double-breasted, and of a twobutton style, the lower button only fastening, and the lapels rolling down to the waist. The jackets were about an inch shorter than the single-breasted style. The best tailors, Mr. Lindbergh said, did not introduce any freakishness inro dress though exaggerations were to be seen in the streets. Day suits were worn with square shoulders, and they had single-breasted jackets, with three buttons, the top one rolling back with the lapel, and not fastening, and they were close fitting. Trousers were made full, with two pleats at the witist, but they narrowed toward the cuff.
