Thom Browne Pre Autumn/Winter 2015 for Lookbook Friday

it is refreshing to wear pieces that are a bit more middle of the road—feminine but with an understated less obvious sex appeal

In recent years I have been stepping away from ultra body con looks, though I still do skinny jeans. And although a sexy dress is still a staple in any self respecting fashionista’s wardrobe it is refreshing to wear pieces that are a bit more middle of the road—feminine but with an understated less obvious sex appeal. A demure lady that quietly commands the room with an unspoken strength. Thom Browne’s latest collection for Pre Autumn 2015-16 embraces this aesthetic with a lovely whimsical yet serious graceful quality. Boxy suits in rough hewn tweeds are countered by playful mini skirts that are paired with preppy pull-overs and classic cut Chanel like coats and jackets. Wide bottomed trousers are equally at home with more fitted capri cut pants and are often topped by blazers in generous relaxed fits. Tweeds, jacquards and wool keep this androgynous line up grounded in a more traditional vein, while the cool tone neutral palette speaks to the quite more austere season of winter. The low heeled shoe boots and luggage bags lend an air of worldly intelligence, and balance the prominence of the weighty outwear. Coats are long, boxy and often double breasted which plays into the uniform feel the designer was wishing to convey, and is an appealing feminine take on a man’s suit with a hint of a collegiate uniform . These more buttoned up genres come together and give way to the edgier gender bending aspects in a provocative yet highly wearable collection. To see more from this collection head to Bessd.com
