Party outfit ideas from Fred’s launch

Stylish looks from a stylish night.

 

OUTFIT IDEAS FOR A PARTY

from the stylish crowd at the Fred x Moss launch

Words: C. Stewart

It was a night all about celebrating doing things your own way and the guests didn’t disappoint with their looks, proving there’s more than one way to dress for a party.

 

 

Velvet jackets will always work a treat, especially in this year’s trending colours as demonstrated by stylish father-and-son trio Paul, Harrison and Travis Leigh, while Fred and his boxer guest Jonathan Kumuteo both showed a good check suit can look just as sharp in the evening.

 

Love Island’s Aaron Francis and Radio 1’s Jordan North let their suits (pink-flecked windowpane and textured Donegal respectively) do the talking with easygoing styling, while friend of Moss, Seye Adelekan, made a solid case for light tailoring at night and the outfit-making power of personal accessories.

 

 

Dressing well for living life now: Fred Sirieix

Meet our new style ambassador.

Words: F. Sirieix

Hi – Fred Sirieix here. You might know me from the TV shows I’ve been involved in. But, actually, for most of my career I’ve worked in fine-dining restaurants, first as a waiter and then as a manager.

When you’re front of house meeting customers every day, there are some things that are really important. The first thing, of course, is to smile. But you also have to be well turned out – it shows your guests that you care; it’s a way of showing respect.

And I think the same goes for all of us heading back out into the world.

Recently, I’ve been wearing t-shirts and jeans or even shorts and flip-flops at home, but now I’m more than ready to dress well again and get back out there.

So, I’m really pleased to have joined forces with Moss – they’ve been helping people look and feel their best for 170 years. Together, we’re on a mission to make great style something everyone can enjoy.

I especially love the new collection because it bridges that gap between formal and casual. For me, that’s the balance of the very formal style of my days managing a Michelin-starred restaurant and the more relaxed look I can have when I’m filming.

For you, that might be finding a new look that’s somewhere between working from home and the office or easing back into a suit styled more casually for a dinner out.

The knits, overshirts and beautiful jackets in my edit are so adaptable – I can dress up or dress down, depending on the circumstances. But there are some great suits in there too, and a statement velvet jacket that fits perfectly.

Life should be fun, don’t you think? And you should wear what makes you feel great. Moss understands the unbeatable confidence a really great outfit can give you. And I couldn’t agree more.

 

The recode style guide

Time for change.

 

Rules. They’re not for everyone.

Words: C. Stewart

A lot’s changed recently, including how we all get dressed. So ditch dated dress codes and recode what it means to dress well – for work, for weddings and parties, for yourself.

 

 

Our working days look different now. Office-bound, WFH or out and about – and probably some combination of the lot. Suffice to say, your old suit isn’t going to cut it.

Recode your weekday wardrobe with easy-wear separates and relaxed tailoring you can style up or down depending on what’s in the diary.

 

 

 

Great style isn’t found in the rules. Style outside the lines with traditional tweeds and flannels made modern in bold, bright shades worn with a tonal roll-neck or knitted shirt.

 

The days of restrictive rules that exclude are over. We want you to feel great on your own terms.

Maybe the new take on the two-piece feels right for today? Same coordinated effect, but far more relaxed with drawstring waistbands and easy-wear jackets.

 

Big day coming up? Make new traditions in scaled-up windowpane checks and style with a pair of suede boots. Going as a guest? A modern flannel suit with a lambswool knit will strike the just-right-for-now balance between relaxed and refined.

 

 

Dress up, dress down. Wear joggers to work or a suit on the weekend. Clash patterns, mix formal with casual, do things your own way.

Your best looks exist beyond the dress code.
