Club Monaco Hearts Thom Browne

Thom Browne Fall '07 ShowWe hear the Club Monaco ads were shot this weekend, and guess what?


According to our sources, their entire collection is skinny little suits with slim cropped pants or long skinny shorts for the bottoms.

The whole thing is so very Thom Browne, which is exciting for fashion-forward boys - and also presumably for Mr. Browne and his team, who must be looking at many menswear collections with a “told-you-so” kind of smirk. Brooks Brothers may not be so thrilled, but it was only a matter of time before Mr. Browne’s shape trickled down to vaguely affordable outfits.

It’s a cool movement, but it also begs the question:

How many guys out there are going to jump into a pair of skinny, short pants in April?

If you’re a guy, or the girlfriend-turned-fashion-stylist of one, do let us know.

i really don't think it's gonna happen. coming from a male perspective, only very fashionable guys will wear skinny pants. plus most guys won't look right in them, not all of us are built like models.

i would totally wear one! I always rolled up my jeans or pants sometimes for that affect. I love how it looks as though you've outgrown your clothes but it's still perfectly fitting. I think it also elongates the legs and some boys out there, i don't think, would mind being a little taller.

Who will wear them? The boys already wearing skinny pants and girls' jeans.

Since it'll still winter up here in Canada? Uh, none.

I don't think I'll be jumping into short pants ... but slimmer cuts, and more attention to fit (which Club Monaco has been excelling at as of late) is always nice.

if they fit me, i'd totally wear them, and i'm a girl. sure beats having to fight femboys for dior homme suits circa hedi slimane.

Sweet irony, considering Thom Browne was Club Monaco's head designer:

The "black fleece" collection Mr. Browne did for Brooks Brothers was extraordinary. Yet, there were a few outfits that will be hard to wear for a man past his fifthteeth birthday.

Dressing as an English schoolboy with knickers might be difficult for most men.

At least women now are not the only ones being infantilized. ;)
