Pastel Spring Brogues

 

Interesting fact for you, the word brogue was derived from the Gaelic word ‘brog’ which means shoe.

At Moss Bros we have a new introduction to our men’s shoes, 3 pastel suede brogues by British shoe maker John White, you can truly tell that over 90 years of shoe making experience has gone into crafting these beautiful shoes. The attention to detail is immaculate, the fine stitching between the perforated panels is intricate and fine, the feel of the inner sole is luxurious and comfortable, you won’t want to take them off!!

The brogues come in 3 different colours; green, red and navy. They would make a fun and exciting addition to your wardrobe.

All 3 come in suede with a 100% leather inner sole and rubber sole for extra comfort and grip. Don’t be frightened of the colours, you can easily wear them with a summer linen suit, jeans or chinos.

It was once said that you can tell a gentleman by the shoes he wears, these shoes could tell a thousand stories.

Five Shirts For Five Days


Choosing a shirt for five days at work doesn’t have to be a strenuous task. Don’t be plain and boring make sure you wear different styles and colours each day. 
Non iron shirts are known as the saviour of shirts, minimal if any ironing is needed, I’m sure you have all been there trying to iron a cotton shirt with the upmost frustration when creases still appear. Pastel colours are a key trend this summer, ideally worn with an open open, no tie is needed. Let the shirt be the statement not the tie this summer.

Gingham or check shirts have a stigma for being ‘old man’s’ shirts, well that stigma is dated, gingham or check shirts come in a range of fits to suit every man; regular, tailored & slim. If you want to go for something different then wear a contrast collar check shirt. 
Button down collars are on trend for this summer, wearing one under your suit can can give a smart casual look, the one rule we enforce is that if you plan to wear a tie then make sure you go for a skinny tie, wider blade ties will not sit right under the collar and will look too bulky. If you preffer a slim fitting button collar shirt then select a Ventuno 21 shirt, if you want a more relaxed regular fit then we suggest a Blazer shirt. 
A white formal shirt is an essential item for any mans wardrobe. There is nothing more clean cut and smart under a suit than crisp white shirt. You will never have to worry about a tie not matching with your shirt, any colour will go well. If your more of a classic gent then a double cuff shirt will be more suited, a button cuff or single cuff as its often reffered to is still smart and of course easy to wear.

Slim or tailored fit cut away collar shirts have remained a timeless design on formal shirts, they look suarve with a tie (wide blade or narrow) and add depth to your outfit if worn without a tie. They are available in single or double cuff to suit your needs or style.
