Brown(e) is your new black


Alright boys, time for a bit of menswear.  If you love tailored menswear, (and you DO love tailored menswear because you have burned your sparkly tattoo t-shirts), then you must get to know Thom Browne.  Born in Pennsylvania, and a graduate of Notre Dame, Browne worked as a designer for Club Monaco, then founded his own line in 2001.  Browne also collaborates with Brooks Brothers' Black Fleece Collection, and has recently teamed up with French ski brand, Moncler, for their Gamme Bleu line.
Browne designs for the business man that seriously cares about how well his suits fit.  His suits are body conscious, as if each piece has been meticulous tailored for his wearer.  By the way, if you don't have a tailor in your phone contacts, find one and now!
Not to say that Browne is a bit quirky.  Seen above at his Spring 2010 show, Browne is wearing his signature shrunken suit with the shortened legs, which Ms. Zoe's assistant, Brad was wearing to fashion week in Paris last year.  The khaki blazer trench with the sweat outfit, I pine for, and not that I am a big fan of men in miniskirts, the cut of the model's shirt and beautiful jacket, is most definitely something to love.
So boys, visit your local Barney's or men's designer Nordstrom, so you can get a closer look at what you should be wearing, now that you are all grown up.
