Best Dressed Rare $2,400 w/tax TOM FORD Coveted Metal Clip Silk Blend Pants, Tom’s Personal Favorite, Impeccable Details – Made In Italy
Like everything TOM FORD designs, these are his impeccable take on a menswear essential. My friends at TF told me these are one of Tom’s personal favorite designs (abundantly clear to any TF connoisseur as he has always had these in the collections forever! See extensive reference photos).
Of course it has my favorite signature design detail I always look for on his dress pants, the eye-catching metal clip at the waist.
The silk blend is another signature TOM FORD design element. Once you review his collections over the years, you’ll see he often has these silk blend pants with the metal clip styling across a wide variety of looks. That’s actually my favorite aspect. These look effortlessly cool when paired with leather jackets and more casual styles (see extensive reference photos). Once I saw how versatile these were and how they could elevate even casual looks, I started investing in these and absolutely love them!
Selling these for a friend, but I have the same pair. They literally elevate everything as you can see. They are equally stunning with leather jackets and casual pieces on up to sartorial blazers. They are also perfect to wear on dates.
These are immediately iconic and clearly distinguished itself from the endless throng of other pants out there with the impeccable fit and incredible details/texture throughout. These were about $2,400 after LA tax.
Black pants are classic, but can look a little heavy, or too common. Having a light green pair in your arsenal gives that perfect amount of contrast and visual interest. Like white, this colorway goes with pretty much everything in your closet – these will be your new “go to”. Lines like Cucinelli use it all the time and they are a staple in so many Italian men's closets for a reason.
Mr Tom Ford’s design philosophy is simple: don’t settle for anything less than perfection. And that maxim applies as much to a plain cotton T-shirt as it does a wool barathea tuxedo with all the trimmings. Achieving perfection, of course, is harder than it looks.
“Menswear is a detail-driven business”
This is perhaps the most Mr Tom Ford-esque of Mr Ford’s statements. Mr Ford’s dogged commitment to perfectionism is renowned. And details? Well, those are the things that keep said business running. Menswear, after all, has long been ruled by strict conventions, and there are only so many ways you can reinvent a button-down shirt or chinos. Instead, it’s those tiny tweaks and improvements – a mother-of-pearl button here, a well-placed pleat there – that sort the bog-standard from the superior.
I’ve tried everything out there and nothing else fits or feels like Tom Ford.
