Do this one thing to transform your wardrobe

Unlimited style possibilities, this way.

 

FRESHEN UP YOUR WARDROBE WITH MOSS BOX

Words: C. Stewart

 

Take a look in your wardrobe. What’s in there? Stuff you love, we’re sure. Probably some pieces you’ve worn a million times, and some others you’ve not worn in ages. Certainly some items that are looking a little worn out. Maybe even an item or two you’ve regretted (or worse: never worn).

Oh yes, there it is: the gap you feel for something new. We get it. The feeling of new is hard to beat. But always succumbing to the need to buy something new isn’t sustainable – for the planet or your wallet.

The answer? Transform your wardrobe with an ever-rotating lineup of new looks without the waste or cost of one-off wears by renting your clothes.

Moss Box, our rental subscription service, has endless options to level up your style.

Branch out the risk-free way with something you might not normally consider. Rent something special for that night out you’ve got coming up, or lift your everyday staples with seasonal pieces you can switch out as often as you like.

Think about it this way: a rental subscription is an opportunity for a new you, one box swap at a time.

Start by trying out a new knitted polo for meeting your friends in the pub garden, then see how it works with tailored joggers when you head into the office. Swap the polo out for a shirt for that formal thing you’ve got on at the weekend. Realise you’ve got a month full of meetings coming up and add a crisp blazer into the mix. Replace the blazer with something to celebrate in when the month of meetings is over. It’s never been easier to rent clothes, whatever your favourite style is.

You get the endless-options picture.

How it works

Select your lineup and get two items at a time to style your way for long as you want. Once you’re ready for something new, send one or both back (delivery is free both ways) and we’ll send your next box.

Rent, return, repeat. No commitments. Cancel anytime. And if you find a keeper? Buy it at up to 50% off.

We’ll even take care of laundry for you, with eco-conscious dry-cleaning on us. And if that’s not reason enough to start now, sign up via the link below and we’ll give you a free trial for one month.

Moss wears: the double breasted suit

Fresh ways with the linier pattern that everyone looks good in.

 

THE NAVY HERRINGBONE DB, AS STYLED BY TEAM MOSS

Words: C. Saramowicz

 

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.

Amir – Talent Acquisition Manager

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!

Lin – Senior Ecommerce Executive

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!

OUR BUYERS’ PICKS FOR WEEKENDS AWAY

With lots of long weekends on the horizon, it’s worth thinking about what you’ll be wearing during your time off. And with so many great pieces to choose from, sometimes you need a bit of wisdom and guidance from the people who brought them to you.

See our buyers go through their favourite pieces for long weekends away below.

 

Moss - belfast white chunky trainers

— Stefan Oxley, Senior Buyer

We’ve updated the design of our bestselling Brighton trainer, using softer tones to keep this shoe more pared down compared to its bolder predecessor. However, they’ve lost none of the luxury, having been made in Portugal with high-quality European materials.”

Moss - taupe floral print cuban collar shirt

— Hettie Keough, Junior Buyer

“This floral print shirt is perfect for holidays. Lightweight enough to layer with a vest, throw on with a beach pant or sartorial short for elevated summer style. The fabric is Italian – a floral jacquard design – and we’ve added an additional button and tab, so the shirt can be worn with either the Cuban collar or buttoned to the top.” 

SHOP FLORAL PRINT CUBAN SHIRT

 

Moss - off white cargo trousers

— Yasmin McPherson, Junior Buyer

Developed in a heavy weight jersey fabric, the cargo pant is a new edition to our trouser offering. Featuring an elasticated at the waist for comfort, it’s tapered at the leg and has pockets on either side for a nice, casual touch. However, the fit and fabrication allows the trouser to still have an element of formality.

Moss - swimshorts

— Sophie Kelly, Assistant Buyer

“Brand new for MOSS SS24 is swimwear. We’ve elevated the classic swim style with features such as button fastening and side adjusters, all of which allow you to dress up with one of our key seasonal Cuban shirts for an easy transition from beach to bar. The peached finished gives a beautifully soft, luxe hand-feel, whilst the recycled fibres offer sustainability. If smart styling isn’t your thing, go for a classic, sporty look with our drawstring waist alternatives. Cut from white seersucker with 4-way mechanical stretch, this option is bang on trend and makes it the perfect choice for all those holiday excursions.”

FOR WELL-DESERVED DAYS OFF IN THE SUN

Words: C. Saramowicz

 

Another bank holiday is almost upon us. Though we can’t guarantee good weather, we can ensure you’ll be well-dressed for whatever you’ve got going on. Bank holidays are a great excuse to update your wardrobe with key pieces that will take you beyond the long weekend. See below for this month’s BH outfit inspiration.

SHOP CASUALWEAR

 

Smart casual affairs

If the weather’s warmed up but you want to stay looking sharp, a smart pair of shorts is the way to go. Cut from lightweight linen that’ll keep you cool in the heat, our matte linen shorts are a great warm-weather alternative to tailored trousers. Though they’re cut to a slim fit, the side adjusters allow for the waistband to be altered slightly, great if you prefer a tighter or looser fit.

The versatility of these shorts means that you can wear them with anything from t-shirts and Cubans, to Oxfords and linen shorts if you need a bit more refinement. Round things off with a pair of velvet loafers, crafted from the finest Italian suede.

 

 

Daytime strolls

If you’re after something a bit more casual, invest in a pair of worker chinos. The most relaxed of all of our chino styles, the worker chino offers a sleek silhouette but all of the comfort of a casual trouser. With an elasticated waistband and a little bit more room in the seat, you’ll feel put together without any restrictions. As for your top half, a polo shirt is always a good idea, especially if it’s crafted from a soft linen blend – we’ve done away with the buttons to ease it up a bit. Finish off with a solid pair of tonal trainers to amp up the laid-back vibe.

 

Pub or park

Tonal outfits are trending, particularly in neutral, warmer tones. If the sun does decide to show up for more than 5 minutes, head-to-toe linen in the way to go. A pair of linen joggers are best investment you’ll make this summer – naturally textured, the cross hatching adds depth to the fabric and helps them stand out against a smooth oatmeal t-shirt. Though they’re the most casual trouser from our range, the pleating and tapered leg still offer a level of smart that can see you through picnics in the park or meet ups with friends. Finish off with a sparkling pair of white leather trainers – just mind the grass stains.

Trending: the striped suit

STRIPES GET A CONTEMPORARY UPDATE

Words: C. Saramowicz

 

Striped suits seem to have a resurgence every few decades or so. First appearing at the end of the 19th century, striped tailoring was often associated with bankers, whose stripes varied in thickness depending on what institution they worked for. Soon, the style became the uniform of gangsters, jazz musicians and many film stars during the 1920s prohibition era.

Today, pinstripes are seen on red carpets and runways alike, the shapes, fits and styles adjusting with the ever-changing fashion landscape.

SHOP STRIPED SUITS

 

Moss - tailored fit Italian denim suit

 

Why are striped suits so popular?

Striped suits have come in and out of fashion many times, primarily because of their versatility. It’s a style that works for most occasions, with flattering vertical stripes that give the illusion of a slimmer frame.

They also come in a wealth of colours, from traditional black, grey and blue to more modern colours like copper, mauve and green, For some, they’re a statement maker; for others, they’re a classic design that’s transcended time and fashion trends.

 

 

How to style a pinstripe suit

Striped suits have long been associated with workwear, but with more contemporary styles and softer structures now available, there is opportunity to experiment.

The most obvious place to wear a striped suit is work. With it’s slim, flattering fit and double breasted closure, our dusty pink linen suit will easily see you through the working week. It’s a slightly bolder choice than a classic blue or grey, but the muted pink offers a great way to ease into colour without feeling too overwhelmed. Pair with a crisp white shirt and tonal tie (preferably from Italian tie specialists Bottinelli).

Meanwhile, our chalk stripe suits are great for both smart and casual affairs. Cut from Italian wool that hails from the world-famous Ferla mill, the fabric has a distressed, textured finish which softens the suit’s aesthetic, allowing for a wealth of styling opportunities. The classic tailored fit sharpens the silhouette with the drawstring trouser offering a slightly more laid back look, which works well for dates, dinners and everything in between. Combine with an open neck shirt and hold the tie, or tone it down further with a t-shirt and casual loafers.

How to wear men’s wide leg trousers

Wide leg trousers are trending – see how can you style them your way.
Moss - ecru stripe beach pant

 

HERE’S HOW TO WEAR THE RELAXED STYLE

Words: C. Saramowicz

 

Wide leg trousers are back, and they’re a big change from the slim-fit styles that have been trending for a while. Slowly but surely, wider fits are making it off the runway and into the everyday.

SHOP CASUAL TROUSERS

 

Moss - oatmeal floral beach pant

This style of trouser has a roomier cut, but they’re fitted at the waist for a more tailored look that feels smarter than oversized streetwear styles. While it’s not completely new – wide leg trousers have been around since the 1920s and have moved in and out fashion over the years – there’s a fresh take on the look that makes it feel a bit more contemporary.

If you want to wear it wide but you’re not sure how to style them, go for a casual look to start with. A classic colour and a simple fabric like cotton or a lighter wool blend can make the fit and shape of a wider leg hang more easily. Choose darker shades like black, navy and charcoal or neutral tones like camel, beige and stone.

Our beach trousers are a great way to ease into wider styles. It’s our most relaxed trouser yet, sitting higher at the waist and tapering down to a slightly wider base. The extra room makes them great for laid-back summer weekends, the elasticated waist and external drawcord ensuring you stay comfy all day long.

 

Moss - ecru herringbone beach pant

 

Getting the right balance is key to styling wide leg trousers. Wear with something fitted, like a T-shirt or a short-sleeve shirt. Tuck your top in to really get the contrast between wider legs and a fitted top half, or layer it a little an overshirt on top. This helps to balance out proportions.

It’s also important to get the right fit. You want them to feel like they’re the right size at the waist – and they may sit a little higher than what you’re used to – while flowing freely on the legs. Trousers that are big all over can just look like you’ve chosen the wrong size.

 

Moss - ecru stripe beach pant

 

If it’s about going smart-casual, choose a smarter shirt, some fitted knitwear and pair with boots or smart shoes rather than trainers or a casual shoe. That’ll take the styling up a notch without feeling like it’s been overdone.

To wear wide fit in a smart or formal setting, go for a relaxed fit suit or pair your wide leg trousers with a smart shirt and a tailored jacket. The key here is for the outfit to look intentional and well thought-out; choose your fabric wisely, incorporating rich cloths like wool, tweed or corduroy. Go for smart shoes like Oxfords to balance out the size and shape of the rest of your outfit.

HERE’S HOW TO WEAR CHINO SHORTS THIS SEASON

Whether you’re heading abroad or enjoying the warmer weather here in the UK, it’s time for shorts. Sure, a sporty pair has its place in your lineup, but chino shorts will set you up for just about any summer outfit.

STYLE

We’ve made our chino shorts smack-bang in the middle of smart-casual. In smooth twill they’ll style up a treat, while the mitred waistband takes it up a notch and gives a clean finish.

There are so many ways to style them; try yours with a knitted polo on casual days and smarten up with a linen shirt for at-ease elegance that offers comfort and breathability too.

Moss - slim fit dusty pink chino shorts

FABRIC

Look for a high percentage of cotton in the composition so they’ll be breathable in warm weather. You might also like a shot of stretch for extra flex – we’ve add some Spandex to the mix for ease of movement.

FIT

Chino shorts come in all sorts of fits. Our advice for a modern profile is pair that’s just the right side of slim in fit (not skin-tight, but not baggy either), with a length that hits a couple of inches above your knee.

Shacket vs overshirt – and how to wear yours

Confused? Don’t be, answers this way.

 

SHACKET VS. OVERSHIRT – WHAT’S THE DEAL?

Words: C. Stewart

 

You’ll have seen the word a lot this season: shacket. But what exactly is it? What makes it different from an overshirt? And how are you supposed to wear it? Answers here.

 

Moss - herringbone linen shacket

What’s a shacket, then?

A shacket fuses the best of two staples – it wears like a shirt but is slightly thicker, just enough to keep you warm like a jacket.

If it’s not already, it’ll be one of the hardest-working items in your wardrobe. You’ll easily trade a coat in for one when it’s cool but not cold, or use it as a layer to build up your look when you need extra warmth.

What’s the difference between a shacket and an overshirt?

We can’t go any further here without ironing this out: in truth, shackets and overshirts are widely interchangeable by name and you’ll find either word used for the same sort of styles by different brands.

Our take is that a shacket leans more on the jacket end of the scale with thicker fabrics, a weightier hand-feel and more jacket-like details. Whereas an overshirt feels much more like a shirt but has a more relaxed fit than your usual button-up so you can layer it over other pieces.

Whichever term you land on, they’ve both got a utilitarian feel that’ll make a smart outfit feel more casual and smarten up a casual look. Magic.

Moss - khaki linen safari shacket

Types of shackets and overshirts

It won’t surprise you that shackets and overshirts come in all sorts of forms. From lightweight and layerable to weighty and warm, there’s a style to cover all of your outerwear needs.

A linen shacket is a breathable take on the look that will make a nice contrast worn over a cotton tee and imply you’ve put some thought into your outfit. Our khaki linen safari shacket is a great option when the weather isn’t quite warm enough for short sleeves – its delavé texture and patch pockets add a level of interest to a relaxed look. Pack it with your holiday gear as an evening layer for when it gets a bit breezy.

A relaxed overshirt offers the sort of ease of wear that means you can throw it on and go live your life. Our chore overshirt is crafted from a soft stretch cotton that’s comfortable and easily smartens up a casual outfit. The textured fabric offers a bit of dimension and works just as well over a boxy t-shirt as it does under a parka. And, as it’s designed like a shirt, it can be worn like one too. Combine with jeans, chinos or joggers and finish with a sporty trainer for an easy weekend look.

 Cord overshirts are particularly great for layering – lighter than shackets but weightier than a standard overshirt, they can be styled in lots of ways depending on the season. Throw over t-shirts or thick knits and you’ll have a solid weekend outfit whatever the weather.

And finally, a patterned overshirt is a men’s casual staple that adds a shot of interest to your lineup. Our take is made from a textured boucle cotton, with a little stretch for extra comfort. With a tailored fit that offers a more refined profile, it’s still comfortable enough for breezy evening strolls. Create a summery, tonal look by pairing with a relaxed trouser and a knitted polo.

Moss - textured chore overshirt

How to style your shacket

The simple answer? Wear it with just about anything. You’ll find a shacket or overshirt as versatile as your favourite denim – and it’ll go with pretty much anything your jeans do too.

For the most layering potential, look for a boxier fit and a longer line than your standard shirt (or, tuck your shirt in for extra smart points). Wear yours to wrap a casual look up into something that bit more refined, like with a skipper polo and a pair of linen joggers for an easy weekend outfit. Or try an overshirt with a pair of tailored trousers and leather loafers for a hybrid smart/casual office look.

If it hasn’t done enough to earn its spot in your wardrobe already, know you can use a shacket as a light layer over a jumper or T-shirt in spring and autumn. Then, when it’s properly cold, use a mid-weight overshirt as an extra layer to trap air between a knitted jumper and your winter coat.

Spotlight on: relaxed fit suits

Cut on our roomiest block for an eased-up take on tailoring.

DESIGNED FOR ROOMIER, EASYGOING WEAR

Words: C. Saramowicz

 

The last few years have seen tailoring move into more of a relaxed direction, with softer, roomier silhouettes gaining popularity. This new, more comfortable take allows you to take the suit out of the office and into more casual settings, granting room for more versatility around styling. Think open necked shirts, roll neck jumpers and patterned tees (though, a classic Oxford and knitted tie works a treat too).

See below for our take on the relaxed suit trend.

SHOP RELAXED FIT SUITS

 

Moss - relaxed fit mauve flannel double breasted suit

 

We’ve taken the classic double-breasted suit and loosened it up a bit, creating a slouchier profile with slightly dropped shoulders and a boxier fit through the torso. The trousers have been widened slightly, allowing for a straight drop that falls to puddle on your shoes. It’s our roomiest fit, cut generously for an overall looser look.

That doesn’t mean it can’t look smart, though – though relaxed fit suits are great for weekend wear, they can easily be styled for the office too. Create an overall laid-back aesthetic by combining with a Cuban collar and a pair of white trainers, or smarten it up by pairing with a striped linen shirt and polished shoes.

It’s a modern, easy take on the regular fit, so the styling options are truly endless.

 

Moss - relaxed fit copper flannel double breasted suit

Our relaxed fit suits come in three trending tones – port, copper and dusty pink. From chilled summer weddings to warm weekends with friends, they’ll be your go-to this season.
