New Years Eve, Add Some Sleeve.

New Years Eve is fast approaching and we know you’ll be looking for something to wear. Our suggestion? Add some sleeve.

Black Tie is always very popular for New Years Eve but we’re going to leave that till last as we know a lot of you will just be looking for a simple shirt or jacket to add a touch of style to your outfit. Firstly, we recommend a jacket, reasons why are simple. A jacket is a comfortable yet smart option, it’s easy to slip on and off & can instantly smarten up a casual look. So no matter what type of event you attend on the night, you’ll be ready for anything.

Here are some of our top jackets:
For a slim fit jacket, try Moss London or DKNY.
For a tailored fit jacket, try Moss 1851.
For a regular fit jacket, try Ermenegildo Zegna.
Now what happens if you take the jacket off? You’ve got to have a suave shirt underneath. Printed, striped, block colour and tartan are some great options to choose. Again we have shirts in all different fits to match your jacket.

Don’t fancy going out too smart? Keep it casual in these.

Alternatively, go all out in our smart shirts, designer or luxury.

You’ve got your shirt and jacket sorted. To top it off team with either a pair of jeans or chinos. You can also add optional extras like a pocket square for your jacket or a nice pair of brogue shoes. It’s entirely up to you.

If you are attending a Black Tie event, you can read our Black Tie blog here: bit.ly/MBPartySeason

Enjoy your evening and we hope your head doesn’t hurt too much in 2015.

Moss Bespoke

“Moss Bespoke – Designed by you, tailored by us.”


Haven’t you always wanted a suit that nobody else has? Your very own suit, unique to you. We know what you’re going to say; Yes of course, but I don’t have enough money or time to create one. With our Moss Bespoke service, time and money isn’t an issue.

To simplify the process of how Moss Bespoke works, give the following a quick read.

A consultation and fitting with one of our suit experts takes between 30-45 minutes, you can either ring or pop in-store to make an appointment  at one of our 30 specialist bespoke stores – http://www.moss.co.uk/bespoke-stores

At your appointment you will be guided through the simple process:

Your Cut

We will measure you and help you decide on the best fit for you, taking both style and comfort into account. Jackets come in one or two button options with either centre or side vents and a choice of notch or peak lapels. Similarly, pockets can be straight or slanted for a more slim-line finish, and trousers come either flat front or with pleats, depending on your cut – the choice is yours.
Your Cloth

You then get to select your cloth. Our broad range of cloths are separated into four collections;

– Specially selected, from £295. (+ waistcoat £90)
– Fine, from £325. (+ waistcoat £95)
– Luxury, from £395. (+ waistcoat £110)
– Deluxe, from £495. (+ waistcoat £120)

There are over 100 cloths to choose from so you’ll be spoilt for choice. You can then choose a lining that matches your colour scheme or accessories which is key to subtly making the suit your own.

Your Details

Once you’ve chosen your cloth the fun begins: choosing all the little details that are unique to your suit. Horn or shell buttons, working button cuffs and even coloured buttonholes are personal choices that make the suit your own. A hidden monogram in your inside pocket, with the initials of your loved one or your wedding date, can provide a stylish souvenir of your special day.

You’ll receive your suit within 8 weeks of you fitting and any final adjustments can be made in store prior to collection.

As we’re currently in Sale this couldn’t be a better time to get the Moss Bespoke experience. We are offering 100% wool 2-piece bespoke suits from our Fine cloth range from only £200.

Just to finish, as an added extra for those who are looking for an extra special service. By appointment we can arrange for a Moss Bespoke evening for you and your friends. Enjoy refreshments while a team of style advisors take you through the fitting and selection process.

We hope to see you in-store soon.

Best Dressed Men of 2014

What a year it’s been. Gripping TV Series, awe inspiring films and historic moments of sport. It’s also been a great year for a handful of fellas and how well they’ve dressed.

Here’s a selection of our favourites:

In no particular order, we’d firstly like to take our hats off to Steve Buscemi. Good old Stevey boy and his styling team have been consistently impressive when dressing the character Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson in the HBO crime drama Boardwalk Empire. 2014 marked it’s finale but Nucky Thompson’s style will never fade from our minds.

Bringing it closer to home, we have Cillian Murphy who plays Thomas ‘Tommy’ Shelby in BBC2’s Peaky Blinders. Similar to Boardwalk Empire, Peaky Blinders is a crime drama with an impeccably well dressed cast. As our attention is normally focused towards Tommy Shelby we highlight him as the best dressed character. What is also interesting is the fact that Tommy doesn’t always wear a tie but still makes himself look ever so suave. The series would have also brought the rounded collar shirt back to popularity.

Now we’re bringing you back to reality and looking at some of the chaps who keep it stylish on an a day to day basis.

Firstly, we pay homage to the one and only David Beckham. Becks would easily make this list every year. Well, maybe not when he was wearing sarongs. But nowadays he is the main person to look to for style tips. Be it casual or smart, Becks wears it phenomenally well.

No David, we raise our glass to you.

Next we jump back over the pond and give Ryan Gosling a pat on the back. Ryan makes looking good effortless. His outfits are simple, not eccentric and balance smart with casual. This means Ryan is ready for any event and any photographer whilst ultimately feeling & staying comfortable. 
If you don’t want to dress to the nines but still want to look smart take notes from this guy.

Now here’s someone who has not only dressed well in his day to day life but played a character this year in a film which is just as good, if better dressed. Who are we going on about you ask? Leonardo DiCaprio of course. The Wolf of Wall Street may have been released at the end of December in the US but it did not grace the UK cinema screens until January 2014. Therefore, we can highlight how dapper Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) is. Belfort was a rather outrageous character in the film. But, putting his antics aside he dressed extremely well.
via The Guardian.
Keeping in the states, next on our list is the handsome Bradley Cooper. Throughout 2014 Bradley attended many awards and when on the red carpet he certainly scrubbed up well. He was also brilliantly dressed in his most recent film ‘Serena’.
Here he is saying; ‘Hey look, Moss Bros. including me in their best dressed list.” Yes we have Brad, yes we have.
via The Guardian.
Now we’re jumping back over the pond but to Spain to commend one of the coolest guys in sport; Xabi Alonso. Alonso’s style is contemporary and not too flashy but he still looks ridiculously suave. Here is is rocking a cream suit whilst leaning on a vintage car. Coolness level 100%.

Finally we end back in England with Eddie Redmayne. Eddie’s style is perfect. He never fails to have his tie properly fastened and wears his suits incredibly well. He has a subtle eccentric style but never goes over the top and always downplays it with simple accessories which make every outfit he wears look awesome. Take note fellas, take note. Here’s Eddie recently in a lovely tartan 2 piece.

Obviously there could be many more men we could add to this list but we had to keep it short. If you want tips on how to dress, keep a close eye on what these guys are wearing.
