The Ivy look, characterized by the single-breasted, three button suit or sport jackets; slacks with pleatless fronts and tapered legs, medium gray flannels and buttondown shirts dominates in new wardrobes for boys. In some schools the pace setters will be wearing four-button, singlebreasted jackets that will feature leather trimming on pockets and elbows.

Trouser pockets will i be similarly treated. Black comes back, too, and vies with dark and medium gray as a classic tone for basic trousers. These neutrals are perfect foils New fall weight suits are now appearing in wrinkle-resistant fabrics of 50 per cent or more "Dacron" polyester fiber blended with wool for year-round for red and white color combinations and together with bold plaids are in style for boys as never before.

Look for Junior to be wearing toggle-button subur(ban coats and other casual coats; quilt-lined parkas with removable hoods, and Loden cloth coats. Linings will present a riot of brilliant colors and patterns, Red will dominate the sport shirt picture, too, and some dazzlers will come in polished cottons and silk-and-cotton blends.
