? Here'* a 1?M variation of the moccasin la supple tropical leath er. Three-eyelet low cut shoe In per forated fine (rain tropical leath er. Continental style slip-ons with I white vamp plus in soft suede; balance in black tropical leather. Men's Shoes For Spring Go Tropical Tropical in weight and tropical In color is the fashion keynote for men's leather footwear this spring and summer, according to the Leather Industries of America. This, of course, is directly in line with the switch to lightweight ap parel in every phase of a man's wardrobe. The new tropical leathers retain the ruggedness of conventional leather, but weigh far less. At once more comfortable and more colorful, they go perfectly with the lightweight spring and summer suits and sportswear outfits of 1956. For town wear, the light-colored and two-toned tropical leather shoes will be increasingly popular, this year. Leather combinations of black-and-white, and brown-and white, as well as rich colors like ivywood, rocky tan, desert copper and butternut, accent the color con trast between shoes and summer suits and create just the right balance of good taste and summer freedom. Lightweight suedes and buck skin in pale tones such as smoke grey and off-white beige, with new light leather soles, also stand out in the wide array of lighter leath er shoes for casual wear. Slimmer, lighter-weight leather soles and open-weave upper leath er are also playipg a role in leath er's switch to tropical lightweight fashion and comfort. Perforated and woven leathers are especially good-looking in moccasin and plaintoe styles, designed along tail ored lines. Most important style this sum mer is the moccasin toe?in all infinite number of variations: slim Continental slip-on, conventional slip-on, one, two and three-eyelet models, and many with contrasting stitching to lend a note of color below the male ankle. Plain toes and wing-tips with a minimum of detail run a close second. In most styles, toes are less round?again, the Italian in fluence. Black and brown are the most popular colors. ? Like curry flavor? Try sprinkling just a suspicion of the spice over scrambled eggs just before they are ready. Boys take to spring in a light colored suit of viscose and see tote twist flannel, with three bnttohs. Fashion Gives Lighter Touch To New Shoes * ^ Sleek In silhouette, soft and supple in material, spring shoes seta colorful pace.' Main color groups are, accord ing to Leather Industries of America, the warm and vivid shaded, the nettrals, pastels and the pale beige to brown family. With the advent of more sup ple leathers, shoes are designed to be light and airy in weight as well as hue. Box toes and stiff counters have disappeared from both dress and casual shoes. Spectator Comes Back Spring styjes include shoes for every occasion, and in the group is the spectator, staging a big comeback. New treatments for this old favorite completely revamp the tailored look seen in the original brown and white classics. More colors, tofter styling and unusu al combinations of leathers and textures are used. For daytime, casual and sports wear, there are low, high and mid heeled spectators in yellow, beige, melon, pink, turquoise or black, teamed with white kid or call leathers and buckskins. For afternoon and dressier wear, there's the spectator-type pump in soft suedes, lustered and pearl ized calf, kid and side leathers combined with patent, printed leather and glove-soft elk. Variety Offered Other shoe styles offer a variety of silhouettes and heel heights. The tapered vamp runs the gamut from casual play shoes to elegant evening sandals. Heels are decorated, Jewelled and built up with stacked leather. Sides are straighter, vamps are flatteringly lower. Backs are straight and low cut. Disappearing top line gives the look of halters to pumps and slings. The Orient provides inspiration for colors and silhouettes in shoes of all categories, and especially in cocktail and evening shoes. Gold kid returns in stripping and mule-type sandals and is a Far Eastern accent in heels for afternoon and late-day shoes. Dull matte gold for daytime is gaining in popularity. SET FOR SPRING Hair styles this season put the emphasis on back interest. Again, length is a matter of pesonal pref erence, with the general trend to ward longer-than-short hair, swept back from the forehead. EARRINGS TAKE SHAPE Among earring fashions are big clusters in round or shower shapes, along with trim contours and slinky string beads. Hoops, larger than ever, are back for a return en gagement. wmmnw \\m miM?mmm m Little men's sprint coordinates in combed cotton include cord shorts, belt, cord-trimmed shirt, matchinc caps Princoi sheath in wool worsted huiadataith cferrk feature* de tachable cape, collar.
