Checks aren’t simply a passing trend. They have been a staple part of many a wardrobe. That’s why we’re launching our Spring/Summer 15 Collections with them. Inspired by the grid-like construction of urban life, our collections boast confident Prince of Wales and bold window pane styles on suiting through to more traditional country checks on formal jackets and mini and micro options on suits & shirts. You really have to check it out.

Our fashion-forward Moss London collection stands proud once again, with slim fit super optic check suits and bold tailoring it’s about attitude, individuality and quirky youthful urban style. If you’re style conscious but want to be versatile, our tailored fit Moss 1851 collection is for you. The collection has Mix and Match options with premium craftsmanship in confident fabrics and notable hero pieces like the deconstructed jackets. If you’re after more classic fit suiting with subtler checks then Savoy Taylors Guild is the brand for you. Window pane checks anchor the collection but they are presented in understated, tonal fabrications for a mature look.

Need some tips on how to wear checks?

Our Creative Director Sotos Georgalli comments “Embracing these fabrics is a sure fire way to express your sartorial style at the start of the season. Don’t be afraid to mix up the checks with other patterns on different items of clothing for a confident, contemporary look.”

Our Spring/Summer 15 collections are now available in-store and online. Join in the conversation on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram with #Checkmate.

Our very own Scottish Assistant Buyer Lynsey Doherty gives you the low down on Burns’ Night and what’s best to wear.

Are you out for Burns’ Night? Or maybe you’re wondering what it is. Well, Burns’ Night is on the 25th January and is widely celebrated not only in Scotland but throughout the world as an applause of Scotland’s most famous poet Robert Burns. He wrote several poems and songs which are still famous to this day, the most well known of these would be ‘Auld Lang Syne’. Now you’re probably wondering what do you actually get up to on the night. That’s the best bit. To celebrate, you have a Burns’ Supper. People come together and eat the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties and also indulge in some whisky drinking.

Normally, the host of the supper will give a brief background on the life of Robert Burns and a few of his poems will be read out during the night. Often the night ends with some traditional ceilidh dancing, which after a few glasses of whisky is a lot of fun.

Of course it is tradition to wear a kilt (which you can hire from our highland collections here: http://www.mossbroshire.co.uk/) or even tartan trousers AKA trews but if you can’t get hold of either, try accessorising your outfit with tartan. You can also think of it as a Black Tie event. This is where we can help.

Our green tartan dress suit would be perfect for the occasion or if you prefer to be a tad more subtle, try our slim fit tartan velvet jacket with peak lapel.

You could always style a black jacket over this Moss London slim fit red tartan check shirt.

Or as it’s a tad chilly, simply wrap either of these Moss London Tartan Scarfs around you.

If you’re not keen on adding tartan to your outfit or really can’t get hold of anything tartan. Here are some dinner suits you can try: http://www.moss.co.uk/dinner-suits

Enjoy the night, have a sing and dance but try not to drink too much whisky.
