Be free in breaking the rules. We don’t want you to conform to the norms – and certainly not for your Prom. We’ve edited the key stories for this season to make life easy for you.

Monochrome isn’t just black and white – by taking a tonal approach to dressing, you’ll be sure to be co-ordinated. We’ve used base notes of grey in our geo-print cotton suits, so wear these with crisp white shirts or go your own way by mixing jackets with t-shirts and beanies for a complete look.

Pattern play can be taken as far as you want this season. Go for a lightweight leaf print jacket in trend-forward green, through to loud and proud Hawaiian-inspired print shirts. We’ll be wearing our printed shirts under a rich, velvet blazer to keep our style credentials intact at any event over the Summer months.

Colour pops are a sure fire way to get noticed and we have two and three-piece suits in statement colours. In order to keep you on-trend this season, we’ve got bright teal and rich aubergine – which we’re layering with shirts and ties for a break from a rigid, formal look. If you’re feeling a little bolder and want to make a style statement, mix the colour pop look with a watermelon or ice cream patterned shirt with to steal the Prom King title.

Moss Bros to launch Moss Box subscription service

Moss Bros has announced that it will be launching the UK’s first menswear clothing subscription service that allows customers to effectively hire wardrobe items and then return and swap as many times as they like.

The ‘Moss Box’ service allows members to select two items from Moss Bros ‘edited’ collection including the likes of French Connection, Barberis and Ted Baker all for a flat monthly fee of £65. Users also have the option of unlimited swaps with free shipping both ways.

Men can select from over 180 products including chinos, jeans, shorts, jumpers, rollnecks, waistcoats, tailoring and other wardrobe essentials. If the customer finds what Moss Bros’ calls ‘a keeper’ there is the option to buy for up to 50% off the retail price.

Returned items are laundered with an eco-friendly, Covid-compliant service that uses less water and electricity than traditional at home washing. In addition, the rental also expands the life of the garments when compared to owning the product, as well as reducing the cost per wear for the user.

With Brits disposing an estimated £140 million worth of clothing every year, it’s no surprise that clothing rental services are paving the way for a more sustainable approach to fashion and reducing fashion waste.

“We launched our hire service in 1897 and we’ve dressed people for the biggest moments in their lives ever since,” says Moss Bros. CEO Brian Brick. “With such a long heritage we’re well-known for our formalwear, but over the last several seasons we’ve evolved with shifts in mindsets and shopping patterns to suit the more casual way men dress now. With more and more men wanting flexibility in the way they dress and shop Moss Bros provides the perfect solution.”
