Thom Browne RWB Diagonal Satin Mesh Stripe Drawstring Shorts – Navy
Thom Browne — RWB Diagonal Satin Mesh Stripe Drawstring Shorts | Navy
Thom Browne applies its signature stripe language to a clean navy short in a construction that references both athletic performance wear and the brand's own grosgrain ribbon tradition. The piece is built on a deep navy base with a black elasticated waistband and black drawcord, and its defining detail is a diagonal double-stripe panel at the hem of both legs — running at an angle across the lower leg from left to right, creating a dynamic, sport-inflected graphic that breaks from the standard horizontal stripe placement.
The double stripe is composed of two distinct materials in sequence: a red satin ribbon stripe and a white mesh / net ribbon stripe — the red and white elements of the house's RWB (red, white, blue) tricolor sequence, here rendered in contrasting textile surfaces that give the stripe a dimensional, tactile quality. The satin ribbon reads with a soft sheen; the mesh ribbon reads as open, perforated, and lightweight — the two materials creating a visual and material contrast within a single stripe composition. The diagonal placement amplifies the sport reference, giving the shorts a cut-and-sew athletic jersey quality.
At the back waistband, the red, white, and blue grosgrain loop tab repeats the house's tricolor stripe in miniature, anchoring the piece to the full Thom Browne RWB detail language.

Styling Notes
The navy base and diagonal RWB stripe hem make this the most sport-forward piece in the Thom Browne shorts lineup. Wear with a Thom Browne RWB tipped white or grey tee for a full house look. The diagonal stripe reads best when the shorts are worn at their natural length — the angled composition is most visible from the front and back at mid-thigh. Finish with clean white sneakers, Thom Browne loafers, or Oxford shoes. The red satin and white mesh stripe combination pairs naturally with red and white accessories — a Thom Browne RWB cap or grosgrain belt completes the look.
