Moss wears: the double breasted suit
A modern classic that works for everyone, as evidenced by the Moss team.
THE NAVY HERRINGBONE DB, AS STYLED BY TEAM MOSS
Our team are a pretty stylish bunch, and we love seeing all the different ways they style their Moss gear.
For our first installment of Moss Wears, our team are wearing a classic bestseller that will never let you down – the navy herringbone double breasted suit. Cut to a tailored fit, its deep navy tone and versatility make it a favourite in and around the office.
See below how our team chose to style it.

How have you styled your navy herringbone DB today?
Starting from the top, I paired the navy herringbone with a cotton linen sky Bengal stripe shirt. For the trousers, I went with slim fit off-white stretch chinos, and I rounded it off with Moss white leather trainers.
What do you like about the DB?
What stands out about the DB is the sharp peak lapel – it’s all in the details! But what I love most is how light it feels, especially around the shoulders. It’s super comfy, not too stiff, which makes it perfect for dressing up or down for a more smart-casual aesthetic.
How would you describe your personal style?
I’d say smart casual.
How often does tailoring feature in your everyday wardrobe?
I haven’t really included much formalwear yet, but my smart-casual outfits are tailored to fit well. I’m looking forward to starting a collection of tailored formal pieces like blazers soon, just refining the dad bod first!

How have you styled your navy herringbone DB today?
I styled it with a plain white t-shirt jeans and white trainers, using these simple wardrobe essentials to create a smart-casual, timeless look.
What do you like about the DB?
I really like the soft construction of the jacket – it gives you that boxier fit without being too intense. Plus, it’s super versatile. You can style it with the full suit for that boss lady vibe or throw it on with a t-shirt and trainers for a more casual aesthetic. You can also pair it with skirts for a feminine twist. It allows you to create so many different looks with just one piece.
When you button it up, it gives you that sleek silhouette without feeling too restrictive, perfect for those days when I want that oversized look. You can even share it with your partner if you like – a win-win!
How would you describe your personal style?
I’m all about that simple yet put-together style, which is why I have so many jackets in my wardrobe. It makes it easy to create a smart-casual outfit without even trying.
How often does tailoring feature in your everyday wardrobe?
Tailoring is a big part of my everyday wardrobe. I have quite a few tailored jackets that I wear to the office all the time, they’re my secret weapon for looking sharp and put-together. They’re the perfect office staple! With my broad shoulders, men’s jackets usually fit perfectly – the cut and fit are more often exactly what I’m looking for.
David – Buyer, Accessories
How have you styled your navy herringbone DB today?
Despite having chosen the full suit I’ve decided to dress things down, swapping the shirt and tie for a navy linen knit tee, a Bottinelli printed pocket square and black loafers.
What do you like about the DB?
For me it’s the soft construction of the jacket which is perfect for spring/summer, with no shoulder pads or lining. Equally the trousers with their double pleats are nice and generous around the waist and seat, draping nicely and giving maximum comfort.
How would you describe your personal style?
I always like to wear some sort of tailoring, particularly for work, even if it’s just the trousers paired with a nice overshirt and smart trainers. The suit isn’t dead — it’s just about wearing it in different ways these days.
How often does tailoring feature in your everyday wardrobe?
Quite often. And I think it’s time I started wearing ties again, which I don’t just say as Accessories Buyer!
