What do you think about wearing shorts in the city de tag the summer? J.P.T.

A. Not much, and especially not to work. It may interest you t0 know that Washmgtonf d. is classified by the Brit- ish as a tropical zone and foreign office personnel are al- suuiu vu vuv cial business as they've done in the Far East and India, but they never do. Q.

The other day I saw a sweater advertised as having a saddle shoulder. The illustration was one of those abstract-looking drawings, and I couldn't tell what it looked like. Just what it a saddle shoulder? S.F. A. It's a lot like 1 raglan cut on a coat, literally a knitted saddle that spans your uut uum nu oac.

n. Can I wear one of the new deeper brown shirts with a solid black suit? J. G. C. A.

I wouldn't if I were you. The tonal values of the two colors are too close together. Why not try a lighter shade, tan, perhaps, or yellow or ivory, with a tie of intermediate tonality? Q. What is a coconut hat, for Pete's sake? M.T.D. A.

Not what you have in mind, I'll bet. It's a hat that's made of straw woven from the fiber of the coconut palm, very cool, comfortable and good-looking for summer.

E. SCHOEFFLER Fashion Adviser Of Esquire Magazine The big news in ternis fash- ion is, of course, the recent conversion to color. The ac- ccptance of yellow and blue 1T for court wear by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association was a major breakthrough, after decades of pure white and ti.ilhin lca hiv trt tell you, however, that white is still basic, the favorite with most of the top pros, as well as our amateur teams.

Probably the most practical innovation for scriois tennis players is the knitted shirt with an extra-long tail in the back; it won't pull out completely after a strenuous exchange of volleys, backhand or forehand. The collar is strictly a matter of pr-eference on these shirts. You can Viva a nAw1vrvi rise. sic polo-style collar, a V-neck 1. or mocK lumeuec.

wmi short sleeves. Shorts are on the shorter side, with even the teretofore traditional Bermuda length considered too bulky. For a big laugh, look at some of the photographs of the tennis champions of the 192')s. Their voluminous full-lengt'i flannel trousers must have had enormous wind-resistance. SEVERAL STYLES There are several different styles of shorts available now, all designed for ease of movement.

Many have extension waistbands, while others have elasticized waists or side tabs, or are worn with elasticized belts. Cotton is, of course, the favored fabric, by itself or blended with polyester fibers in twill or smooth-surfaced weaves. Cushion-soled ankle socks are a comfortable aidition to the tennis kit, always worn with traditionally-stjled can vas shoes. A visor or cap is important, for keeping the sun out of your eyes, and the clas sic V-neck white pullover, usually with red and blue border stripes, is still the best cover-up after the game. QUESTION'S ANSWERED Q.

Are summer short-sleeved shirts definitely out for office wear? A.L.M. A. Every year we go through this same hassle, and every year the answer is the same. Yes, they are unsuitable for office wear. A business suit ought to have an inch or so of shirt-cuff showing beneath it for a finished look.

Besides, with modn office air-conditioning, I fail to see why you'd want or need to wear them. Q. Are wing-tip fhoes con- idered correct primarily in cold weather, or can they be worn the year 'roun-1? K.R. A. The model, or style, is certainly suitable for year round wear.
