If you thought business suits and surfing culture were total opposite, you probably haven’t seen Thom Browne’s new wetsuit. Called “Trompe L’Oeil”, the neoprene wetsuit showcases all the elements of a classic business suit and even a tie! The hand-crafted $3,900 haute couture item is part of his Spring/Summer collection. It turns out that Browne put a lot of thought and work into it, teaming up with renowned wetsuit creator Shane Jones.
I personally don’t think many surfers would like to drop $4K in a wetsuit and being styled as a business man!? But the concept is interesting!
