Firstly we do no live in Victorian times anymore sweetpea! Secondly, the tiny tux is a very flattering shape - I am a model but I see this suit on all types of bodies! Thirdly - the idea is the tailoring and the fit the legs look short while the sleeves and fit of everything are stunning! Fourthly, the idea of this piece is doing something different, going somewhere else with fashion, if we didn't take steps like this in fashion then we would still be wearing togas for goodness sack! And finally, who are you to question Thom Brown's vision of fashion, what right have you to argue with a man who is at the top of the fashion game, with considerable knowledge and skill! Thankyou. “Uncouth” what an utterly ridiculous thing to say to showing your ankles! Firstly we do no live in Victorian times anymore sweetpea!

The paper reports that to gain attention for his style, Browne “started eating breakfast—black coffee and white toast—every morning …at Pastis, neatly dressed in a Thom Browne suit-slash-sandwich board.” [...] […] The New York Times is touting Thom Browne, the notorious proponent of ankle cleavage, as “today the most envied and influential American men?s wear designer.” Though the article contains much of interest, including the observation that Browne’s suits “caught on with an underserved customer: the businessman who wants to look both conservative and cool,” one claim in particular caught Izzy’s attention.

Wearing socks and just making the trousers no break would have been a wise choice. A little bit of black tie rebelling is expected at these sort of events, sure. This crosses the line into absurdity, though. That said, I do like his muted choices in suit fabrics and styles. I'd wear them, if I had the cash to spend. Tom: Loafers with a dinner jacket? :o Eek. No, he can button it. :)

I have a black Tux which I wear sockless with black loafers. I wore socks once, but I had to spend too much time answering questions about why the socks were being worn.

(Although I think the pants actually are a bit too short, could use an extra inch or two.) The sockless approach is, as usual with Thom, a nice statement. I think it looks very consistent on him.

Urrgghhhhkkkkk. Such an appealing youngster, too. Why can't he rebel in a kilt?? Or full Regency splendour? Or a frock coat, with the understanding that people can go frock themselves??? This is just ... dopey. I try to make allowances for wit, and humour, and measured-but-well-thought-out-rebellion, but in my heart, I secretly believe that this is a sign of the Apocalypse.

No shorts with sock garters and rollerskates (because it's Spring, of course)? Thom, I'm disappointed in you! We must take comfort in the knowledge that, like *all* ridiculous fashion, this too shall pass. What?? No shorts with sock garters and rollerskates (because it’s Spring, of course)?

I dont want to see a bit of leg poking out of the tuxedo! That is very uncouth.
