As is often said, at this point, the American designer Thom Browne doesn’t have to prove anything, because after so many years in the industry with his eponymous brand, it’s more than clear his worth and above all how well he reimagines every season the concepts of preppy and timeless, as well as tailoring.
One of his favourite colors is grey, and once again he has used it to make part of the garments that make up the Pre-Fall 2024 collection that has just been presented especially the tailoring. Browne is aware that nowadays, sartorial design is a recurring element, so he has decided to give it his personal touch and add a touch of fantasy in the form of birds, flowers, or iconic stripes.
However classic it may be, T.B.’s garments in this style always go further, as he is currently one of the few who gives the same importance to skirts as to trousers. In fact, on this particular occasion, there are more skirts than trousers, available to all tastes. Do you want them more subtle? They’re there. Do you want them flashier? You have them too, and even in different prints. A great contribution to the genderless style is very much to be appreciated.
A large part of the line is made in grey and black, designed for the more discreet, while the other is designed for those who are looking for just the opposite. Proof of this are the different prints of checks and stripes, or the large embroideries that flood the clothes, both of which are also present in the firm’s bags that finish off the looks. Taking advantage of the mention of this accessory, we must highlight the Hector Bag or the new basket-shaped suitcase, which refers to the house that the designer and his partner Andrew Bolton own in the Hudson Valley.
Thom knows that preppy style can be liked or disliked, as does the fact that not everyone understands it, but there it is. Some appreciate it and others don’t, but what can’t be ignored is the precision with which the pieces are made and the silhouettes that turn any item from the brand into a safe bet that no matter how much time passes, it will never go out of fashion.
