Comments on "At Thom Browne"
WOW! I really love that "DOT" Jacket...

I've never found the "I'm going to purposely buy pants too short to show off my ankles" look appealing.
Never at all; I don't understand it.
The first man looks quite dashing, and I like the serious look on the polka dot fellow; it's ironically charming! A bit like a sad clown, but a cute boy version :D
Dear Scott,
i just got your book last night! And its inspiring as your blog!
a fans from Malaysia.
Genius!
oh, how I adore Thom Browne. (Although the polka dots are a wee bit too far over the top for me...) :)
Thanks for sharing the images.
I'm a fan of the pants. They're quite stylish!
Help me understand the polka dots. I don't get it. Is this is gimmick or am I just not cool enough?
I'm in love with the polka dot man lol. fashion is so daring
check out my blog

Great book signing event! very silly and funny in-person :)
That first image is amazing. The tie really seems to pull the whole outfit together, even though all the pieces are just wonderful. That second picture is interesting, a look I would find hard to pull off, but one that they all seem to do much justice to.
The polka dots seem a little ott for me though, but not horrid either.

haha love the polka guy!! :))
wow so many polka dots! I love how even his lips has a dot on them :)
Goodle x
YES. They're wearing socks! I saw an interview with Jason Bateman where he talked about doing a photoshoot for some fashion mag. They had him take off his socks because it's "in style" but since Jason Bateman is a normal person, he wears socks all the time. They had to put makeup on his ankles.
Always glad to see some more guys with common sense on the matter
The second picture of the pants is amazing! Especially for me because of my obsession over the bottom of the pants and how they look in contrast with my shoes of the day. It is safe to say I am extremely picky with my pants! The polka dots...super creative and attention getter! I like it anyway because of its uniqueness! I like the first shot of the man with the suit because the suit looks like it's been shrunken!
check out my trendy blog!

Wingtips. Every where now it's wingtips.
Can you get me the white Hazmat Parka, (background, photo of the young man in Monochrome Twister?)
Stunning series. Love the second shot the best. Just fantastic.

that is what always bothered me about some of the Thom Browne people I see occasionally around town the ankle socks. If you are going to go through all of the trouble to have pants that show your ankle why where socks that cover half of them.
It just looks tacky.
Either wear socks that go up cover your leg when the pants ride up or don't wear any.
I find the second image absolutely tantalising. Thank you very much for that.
Funny how Thom Browne's own jacket has appropriately long sleeves!
And this is where fashion fails. There's nothing daring about lunacy.
no,no, no. these guys just look silly.
The cropped pants is starting to become a uniform. I'm seeing it too much, I like doing it myself but it is as though it no longer has anything to do with function. Maybe it never did.
Love the first guy, and how the thin tie is perfect with that suit.
the dots are funny, not stylish. but his serious full of sadness face and his lips with another small white dot are making impression of odd harmony :)))
fantastic polka dots, reminds me of house of holland a couple seasons ago.
<3 The Voguette
"The first man is quite dashing"...That's Thom Browne
Are you not taking any photos for style.com this fashionweek? I miss them...
I love this look, though can I say it reminds me so much of Comme des Garcons?
The first one is Thom Browne ;)
the second photo is begging for the caption:
Shhh...let's keep it 'under the table'.
i think thom brown is sort of a one trick pony.
i mean, you can put polka dots and sequins and mermaids all over everything, but its still just shrunken suits season after season. i know its a lot more difficult to be creative and experimental with men's looks, but i don't know, it just feels... gimmicky.
Thumbs up for polka dots !!!!

o i just adore chic-y men!
I am seeing spots. PUPPIES! No just kidding. It is an AWESOME shot though!
I like the traditional suit, Matrix Men gone wild, and then the crazy cool suit. It is cool how you set it up! You definitly have a good eye!
Guess my dad doesn't have to change his shoes... always wingtips! Great shot of the guys under the table.
Love the first guy. Spiffy.
Dots? I hope he's some sort of artist.
Never too short!

weird....
love the first pic.....
not sure about the white lipstick. is this a variation of white eyebrows?
~time to let my feet breath a little with those pants and show off my new shoes on em. the look is very german, i can see Adolf Hitler now as fashion icon after seeing those pics. :))
I really wish I could lay my hands on my own copy already. Are you going to be on Amazon soon?
Loved the guy in dots!

This is art,this is very fashion
Who will wear a "dot" suit?
I like the picture of the men without socks!

If lady gaga was a man she would be the man in polka dots.
What fun~!
I like Thom Brown as a fashion stylist, as a showman, or as a creator but honestly I don't see my self wearing his clothes... dont take me wrong, I love it... and I wear thing similar, ones in a while but that's what is fashion about... get some ideas and make it your own...!
By the way Scott, I didn't find your book in Spain... and I want it deeply!
Sorry to rain on anyone's parade but anyone who thinks these Pee Wee Herman outfits are remotely stylish or flattering needs to re-check their value system......In 20years time they are going to be up there with bell bottoms and playsuits.
I'm loving the little black ankle socks! They allow men to show off their hairy legs (eww) while still maintaining proper hygeine for their feet! Hooray!
polkas are crazy fun. LOVE the top photo. ahhhhhh. he looks perfect.
The first photo is Browne himself. His clothes are interesting to look at but I find his clothes impossible to wear. And it's time he moved on past too tight, too short.
Gosh Darn it. The ankle look is silly beyond measure and extremely schoolgirlish - meaning back in the day when we would call our friends to make sure we all had the same thing on. Geesh.
The polka costume is just that, but I appreciate the humor.
Thom seems to do half wearable grown up clothes and half pantomime silliness. i love the wearable grown up stuff.
says that the top suit reminds him of the 1962 astronaut look. A good thing.
Love these styles! Seriously.
note to self...roll up fancy trousers for the non-chalant look of incredibly attractive european men.....also repeatedly follow your blog on an hourly basis as to not miss on commenting on all the amazing previous posts!
I've been covering Fashion Week Spring 2010 in New York City (shooting video) and just about every editor I've interviewed has given a thumbs down to the capri style, ankle/shin showing pants for men. Also, not seeing much of this look at all at the shows. Most of the men attending, all of whom are trying to look great, have not been going with this style. Perhaps this is a flash in the pan?
http://style-fyle.com/
This show was perfection.
It puts a smile on my face. You know the people who are "too cool" to smile? They were smiling at this show too. They weren't laughing - they were smiles of admiration and appreciation. The men wanted the clothes. The women wanted the men's clothes.
This is what fashion SHOULD be. Fun.
Thank you Thom Browne.
Wow, people really go out like this? It's hilarious and horrifying, but funny.
i just find there something really kind of effortlessly sexy/cool about the folded up trouser/bare leg/heavy shoe combo,
divine!
You know what is weird, this is the fourth time I've seen polka dots this week. I HATED polka dots growing up but I can't help but smile when I see them on someone!
Bravo!
<3
What? Did the circus come to town?
The polks dots are not bad as an amusement. The flood pants are ridiculous, as I think those gentlemen are not being ironic, but believe themselves to be on the cutting edge of fashion.
ridiculous...malheuresement
I just don't get the hype. Thom Brownes suits look like they have been washed in hot water and thrown in the dryer to shrink.If you really understand proportion, fit, and ultimately good taste, Thom Browne suits will seem ridiculous.
thom browne looks great from the waist up, as evidenced by the first photo. clean and modern upgrade of the old. but when it gets to the highwaters....
I was wondering if the men wearing the shorter pants wax their legs or go au natural--I love Mr. Polka Dots--by the way. He looks fresh and a bit silly.
Fashion SHOULD be fun and it SHOULD make you look twice. Thanks for photographing the polka-dot man. He captures those two aspects well.
first photo, lovely and stylish.
second photo, laughable.
third photo, no. just no.
clown clothes for people with no sense.
Oohhh absolutely fabulous. Everything!
I have totally been digging the short pants look lately. Trying to work it into my corporate office look!
Thom Browne reminds me of one thing, and one thing only - the emperor's new clothes. He's a sharp looking guy and I respect his style, but I just don't get all the fashion lemmings drooling over his clothes.
Does Thom Browne own any other clothes? How dreary it all becomes.
There's a guy running around Washington DC in a similar suit with '?' marks all over it.
Although I can't see his pants, what Thom Browne is basically wearing is a 1960s suit. What's so genious about that? I have dozens of the REAL thing.
Man in first photo is strikingly handsome & masculine in his suit and tie.
Great hair cut w/ beard stubble.
I wonder what that paper says in his coat pocket?
courageous. I like the white dot on his lips. :)
this isn't fashionable, it's laughable.
Somewhere I can hear the song "Send in the Clowns".
who is the model in the third photo?
wow... I should start design a men collection line... it;s great
The only problem I have with the Thom Browne silhouette is how it doesn't change, like someone else said. I think he will not be satisfied with this cropped everything silhouette until half the men in Manhattan are spotting it - and by the way, he doesn't have very long to go; a testament to the undeniable influence he has had.
Energie
That jacket is way way to FAB!!! I have been very outspoken fan and have been sporting T.B. for years but this jacket is the best thing in years... Well done my son you just keep doing it year after year.
LOL...I guess this would be an easy, "connect the dot" game. :)
Awesome!
Thom Brown or Barnum Bros. Clown School...
Is it just me, or are DotGuy's sleeves different lengths?
Also--if he's already wearing a jacket, what could that extra garment in his hand possibly be? Is he carrying the matching half of his suit in case of emergency? Were some guys trading clothes backstage? I'm curious now.
One thing about the look that I don't get - with all the wrist provided by the short sleeves, I feel it's the perfect place to accent with a fantastic watch, but none of the men at the table are wearing one. I love great watches, and most of the time with a standard-length suit sleeve it just goes to waste hidden beneath your cuff, but the short sleeve is perfect for showing it off. Also, I have to imagine the short pant is a summer look only, akin to the capri? I couldn't imagine walking around NY in the winter with pants that short, nor the ankle socks... Besides slim, what differentiates a thom browne winter-weight suit?
Haha beatiful !

Oh enough already with TB. Ridiculousness and ankle baring clothes do not make fashion or style. When will the collective wake up to the joke being played out.
The second look is fantastic! I will have to secretly shorten my boyfriends pants and buy him short socks.. hee hee ;)
with all the criticism of preen about women's bodies, it's curious how you don't extend the same commentary to thom brown.
so ruffles around the butt is ugly but polka dotted dress pants are okay?
Both are awesome but neither is really "wearable."
Look up pictures of the rapper Kwame. The polka dots remind me of him. Except this time, the man looks clownish.
love the polka dot jackets. Could definitely incorporate in my own wardrobe. great work as always from thom!
hehe me love;-)
