Thom Browne Preps Sartorial Elegance for AW19
30 July 2019Maintaining his classic sensibility, the New York City-based designer presents a collection brimming with formal delights and his unique take on preppy style.
A bastion of contemporary menswear, Thom Browne's signature aesthetic is instantly identifiable with its nods to American classicism and tricolour motifs. Cast in a palette of navy-blue, white, beige and grey, the New York City-based designer encapsulates modern day preppy style with aplomb. Staunchly dedicated to a singular vision of dressing, formal suiting, casual wear and sportswear are all trimmed with the label's iconic tricolour grosgrain striping.
Styled for the man-about-town, the City serves as a central influence to Thom Browne's visual sensibility. Replete with cues from formal tailoring and proudly dedicated to proving that formalwear can be fun too, Browne subtly plays with proportion, offering a twist on what may initially seem like a traditional garment. Known for his infamous "shrunken suit", the designer delivers his trademark cropped silhouette. With the upper half centring around a raised hem, the ankle sees a cropped cuff to deliver the label's signature sense of style.
Presenting an array of button-down shirts, overcoats, knitted cardigans and chino trousers, the label covers all bases of classic menswear. Branching into sportswear, too, Thom Browne applies his four-bar stripe to the leg of sweat pants while an Italian-made wool bomber jacket offers an elegant twist on an athletic essential.
Shirking the tendencies of many fashion houses, Thom Browne remains dedicated to a singular vision of menswear. A champion of presenting formal looks that boast an elegant form of sophistication, Browne operates as a true auteur of design and stays true to his unique outlook.
