More of this year’s best-dressed men wearing the stuff you’ll want to be wearing next year – and the items you need from our sale to suit up like them for less.

Shop the sale wisely, and you can pick up a few pieces that will see you smartly into next year, with a bit more cash left in your pocket to enjoy it with. Here are four well-dressed guys and the looks worth snapping up now for a stylish 2018.

THE COLOURFUL TUX

He might not suit up often, but when he does, Stormzy doesn’t waste the opportunity playing it safe. Case in point: topping off his standout year at the GQ Men of the Year awards, he could have gone for a classic black tuxedo, but chose a sharp, midnight blue version instead. The sale’s a great time to pick up something a little different to the norm for less, so grab this similarly inky dress suit now to make an impact at your next black-tie bash.

THE NEW NEUTRAL

Ticked off the suit-standard of black, grey and blue? Use the sale as an excuse to expand your tailoring line-up with a more adventurous shade. Neutral suits made tracks as a trend this year and will stick around thanks to being surprisingly easy to wear. Follow Beckham’s lead and wear yours with brown lace-ups and a contrasting blue shirt and tie.

THE BLACK SUIT

You can’t go wrong with a well-cut black suit and the sale’s a great time to update yours for the new year. Pick one up in a sharp, tailored fit for a fraction of its usual price and you’ll get loads of wear out of it. Style it smartly for work or, like Liam, dial up the drama for a night out by going all-in with a head-to-toe black shirt, tie and shoes.

THE BLUE SUIT

We’re used to seeing Bradley Cooper looking sharp in a suit, but it has to be said that the man looks particularly good in head-to-toe blue. Unsurprising, really, as a mid-blue suit is universally flattering and looks great on pretty much anyone on any occasion. Use the sale to upgrade to a designer version, with this sharply cut Ted Baker suit now at over a third off.

This New Year’s Eve, suit up and show everyone that you’re here to party.

To help you see the New Year in with a stylish bang, we’ve partnered with Marques Emmanuel on three standout party looks that’ll show 2018 that you’re ready for what ever it has to offer.

THE MINIMALIST

A minimal look gives the appearance of effortless style yet has enough impact to turn heads wherever you’re partying this NYE. The close-fitting style of this suit will flatter your frame, while keeping the rest of outfit in head-to-black adds the kind of attitude you need to make a memorable entrance. High-shine Chelsea boots and a monochrome Prince of Wales check coat are fashionable touches that’ll also keep you toasty should the party take to the streets.

THE MODERNIST

The classic white dress jacket gets a modernist reworking by swapping the traditional white dress shirt for a slim fit khaki one. The contrast in colours gives a distinctive edge, while steering clear of accessories keeps the whole look crisp and modern. Monk strap shoes are the only detail you need – and are just the thing to draw attention to your best footwork on the dancefloor.

THE REBEL

The Rebel is all about going against the norm in rich colours and textures. Be brave enough stand out in a sea of dark suits by going for a burgundy suit in a contemporary skinny fit. Rather than play it safe in a white shirt, throw some pattern into the mix. Note that Marques has kept his shirt, tie and pocket square in patterns of a similar scale and colour palette – this keeps his bold choices looking artfully put together rather than a mish-mash.

3 ways to suit up for less

Our pick of some of this year’s best-dressed men wearing the trends that’ll continue into 2018, along with items in our sale that’ll help you suit up like them for less.

The end-of-season sale is a great time to snap up a standout party look for less or stock up on new tailoring that’ll make going back to work in January a little less painful. Here are three style-wise men to inspire your sale-shopping this year.

THE DOUBLE-BREASTED SUIT

Always willing to try something new when it comes to his fashion choices, Harry Styles was, of course, one of the first to embrace the return of the double-breasted suit. If you’ve not followed his lead yet, trust us when we say you’re only going to see more of the DB suit next year, so do the smart thing and pick one up in the sale now.

THE SHARP TUX

Got your NYE outfit planned yet? If not, we suggest taking a leaf out of Tinie’s impeccably dressed book and breaking out the tux. Tinie’s gone for a shimmering tuxedo jacket, but for many of us, buying an out-there jacket you’ll only wear once is a bit much. Instead, use the sale to invest in a tailored tux that you can wear this year and many more, then add in a bit of party-ready shimmer with your accessories.

THE CHECK SUIT

Patterned suits have been a big hit this year and will continue to dominate tailoring trends in 2018. Make it work in your office by picking an understated check in a classic shade of navy, like our friend Ryan here. This version has fashionable peak lapels – another trend that’s found its way into officewear and looks set to stick around.

Just because it’s cold outisde, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your style.

We asked fashion-enthusiast Eshan Kali to show you how to wrap up warm and stay stylish on his recent trip to Tokyo. Here’s what he had to say about his trip:

“Dressing smartly is an art. To be a master of this art is to consistently dress to the absolute best. The corporate world has always fascinated me; uniformed dark suits and overcoats, style and class expressed in microscopic detail. Having myself been around financial districts, spying from the hospitality sector, I have always been studying and taking notes.”

“For my recent trip to Tokyo, I planned a shoot in one of the Financial Districts (Otemachi), wanting a strong ‘sartorial’ theme. Style comes through challenge so to push myself in Otemachi I chose a universal camel coat from Moss. The camel coat is a popular choice, so the challenge was to create a new perspective and bring a new look to an old classic.

“This overcoat has a modern structure with classic tailoring elements. Reassuringly comfortable, warm and stylish, this versatile coat pairs with smart/casual attire, a must-have for any winter collection. Weekdays or weekends, at work or winding down, it’s a winner. 100% wool fabric and tailored cut, it keeps you warm but also gives a smooth fit on the body unlike so many heavy winter coats.”

“We arrived at Otemachi early enough to miss out on the corporate crowds, then walked ten minutes to the Imperial Palace. Here you look back and get this amazing panoramic view of the Financial District as seen throughout the shoot.

“There is clear, crisp contrast. Black falls nicely from the hat to the three buttons on the coat and into the grey trousers.The togetherness of the scarf, tie and the camel coat creates a single bespoke style that exceptionally compliments the backdrop. There’s a confidence in knowing and looking after yourself. Knowing how to pull it off every time it to be a master of the art of style.”

BEAT THE CHILL

November is here, which, of course, welcomes the arrival of moustache season. Whether you’re growing one for charity, or just fancy unleashing your inner Ron Burgundy, growing a killer ’tasche takes time, patience, and a bit of TLC. We’ve caught up with the moustache-masters over at grüum, to share their mo-taming tips.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT STYLE

One of the biggest mistakes when it comes to moustache growing is trying to create a style that isn’t suited to your hair, or that you don’t have the commitment to see through.

You need to be realistic; if your facial fuzz tends to be a bit thin on the ground, trying to grow anything other than a pencil ‘stache will likely leave you looking like an awkward teenager (as Michael Cera kindly demonstrates here). Even for the hairiest of chaps, longer styles like the handlebar can take around 6-12 weeks to look half decent, so make sure you’re ready to ride it out.

KEEP IT TRIM

In the early stages, the easiest way to keep your ‘tasche in check is to trim it with a set of beard clippers. This will keep everything at a neat uniform length. Once you hit the 3-4 week mark, you can switch the clippers for scissors, focusing on the longer hairs around the mouth.

If you’re trying to grow a handlebar, avoid trimming anything towards the corners of your mouth, as you’ll need length here to create that signature curl.

DITCH THE ITCH

More often than not, with fresh facial hair also comes the dreaded itch. If you’ve ever experienced this yourself, you’ll be all too aware of how mind-numbing it can be. But don’t be too hasty to reach for the razor, there are a few things you can do to keep it at bay.

The main cause of early-stage ‘stache itch is the new hair follicles cutting into and irritating the skin, so your best line of defence is to soften everything up.

Give your face a daily scrub with a gentle exfoliating face wash, paying close attention to the moustache area. Once dry, apply a generous amount of moisturiser. Once your mo has grown past a short stubble, you should switch the moisturiser for beard oil. Work a couple of drops through the hair, making sure you get right down to the skin underneath.

KEEP IT CLEAN

We’d hope this one’s pretty obvious… The last thing you want is remnants of your lunchtime meal-deal festering in your mo, so keep things clean by giving it a daily rinse with water, and a beard wash a couple of times a week.

MOULD AND SHAPE

A comb and a tin of beard wax go a long way in giving your mo some extra oomph. Facial hair doesn’t tend to grow in a uniform direction, but it can be trained. A daily comb through with some wax will help the hairs to grow in the direction you’d like them to. Wax can also be used to create a more extravagant style, like the handlebar. Just apply a small amount of wax to the ends, and twirl between your finger and thumb.

The art of layering

When the cold weather kicks in, layering is your friend.

Done properly, layering coats, knits and scarves not only keeps the chill at bay, but also provides extra styling opportunities that sparse summer outfits just can’t compete with.

KNIT UP

The funnel neck knit makes a heroic return to menswear this winter and does a remarkable job of being both a bit sporty and well suited to wearing under tailoring.

Keep things on the smarter side for weekday commutes by wearing one in a similar tone to your suit. Extra points for adding in a scarf that cleverly matches it to your also-very-fashionable camel coat.

GO TONAL

Your grey overcoat becomes an extension of your suit when worn over a 2-piece and shirt in tonal shades and patterns of roughly the same scale.

A richly toned tie provides a focal point on a head-to-toe grey outfit, while black leather gloves subtly pick out the suit’s checks as well as keep fingers functioning in the cold. Handy, that.

DO THINGS BY HALVES

No, not half-heartedly, but by using tailored separates to make a whole new look.

Turn your slim fit coat into one part of a winter suit by skipping the jacket and pairing with slim fit trousers in the same shade. On really cold days, layer in a chunky cable roll neck knit for a modern (and warm) take on business casual.

It’s that time of year again and you’re going to need a new winter coat to defend against the oncoming chill. Might as well make it a stylish one, then.

THE CAMEL COAT

A camel overcoat is a true menswear classic, with generations of men relying on it as a stylish layer over a suit or sharp separates on chilly days. Ours comes in an on-trend double-face, wool-rich cloth that’s half-lined and cut in a tailored fit for warmth without the bulk.

THE FASHION COAT

Patterns are a key trend in coats as well as tailoring this winter, and a checked overcoat is a great way to liven up even the simplest of outfits. Crafted from a soft, textured wool-blend in a stylish slim fit, this monochrome Prince of Wales version will go beautifully with a grey suit as well as over knitwear and chinos on days off.

THE PEA COAT

Originally designed for sailors, the ever-stylish pea coat has its roots in functionality. Cut longer than a jacket but shorter than a coat for extra mobility and featuring an oversized collar that can be buttoned up high in harsh conditions, it’s more than equipped to keep you warm on adventurous weekends (or, you know, just strolling around town).

THE OVERCOAT

In go-with-everything grey and a tailored fit to complement the lines of a sharp suit, this wool-rich overcoat will also sit well with jeans and a jumper on the weekend. Single-breasted with smart peak lapels, it’s a menswear classic that’ll cover you through the winter months this year and the next. And the next.

THE SLIM FIT COAT

Just because it’s cold and wet, it doesn’t mean your style should get dampened. Look sharp when the temperature starts dropping with this navy twill overcoat. Cut to complement the lines of slim fit tailoring, it’s finished with a smooth navy velvet collar and a contrast red lining that’ll brighten even the gloomiest of days.

GET YOUR COAT 

It’s true, a little rain never hurt anybody.

But if you live on our fair isle, you’ll probably be dealing with more than a light shower this autumn. Get the right raincoat in your armoury and you’ll face those wintry showers in fighting form.

If you’re looking for a raincoat that’ll blow miserable days out of the water, this is it.

Our newest Moss Rainmac is finished with a showerproof coating to treat downpours like water off a duck’s back. It’s also got a removable quilted insert so on days when the weather can’t decide what it’s doing, you don’t have to either. Only rain forecasted? Keep things simple with just the mac. Both the rain and cold due to come biting? Appreciate the warmth of an extra quilted layer.

Available in classic stone or smart navy, it’s finished with valuable-saving internal pockets and a herringbone fabric collar stand for a flash of pattern when you lift your collar up against the chill.

If rain is your only concern, our original Moss rainmac is lightweight, water-repellent and smartly tailored to fit snugly over your suit on a wet commute.

Available in three colours – stone, dark grey and navy – we’ve purposefully kept the design minimal, with a single-breasted front and unlined contrast inner, so you can easily stash it in your bag should the clouds clear. At least until they roll back in again.

GET HOME AND DRY 

In the Suit Up revolution, it’s essential you pay attention to the fine print. The print on your shirt, that is.

Nothing adds more personality to your outfit than a printed shirt, but standout style doesn’t need to be complicated. Below, our pick of this season’s finest prints with some words on how to wear them.

One thing’s for sure – you’re not going to go unnoticed.

When you’re looking to make an impact, a plain blue shirt probably isn’t going to cut it. Wear this floral print formal shirt in place of your normal weekday shirt and there’ll be no mistaking you for the office wallflower. With a tapestry-inspired print and coordinating double collar, it’s truly a shirt to stand out in.

This leaf print shirt takes summer’s fresh botanical patterns over to the dark side for autumn and winter. A great weekend shirt, its darkly tropical print will look great worn open over a t-shirt and chinos during the day but will come into its own buttoned all the way up and paired with tapered black trousers for after-hours.

Running with the leaf theme (it is autumn, after all), this slim fit shirt is a subtler option with its pale grey print and soft, casual collar. Skip the tie, roll up your sleeves and wear it with tailored trousers to show there’s no grey area when it comes to smart style at the weekend.

Always fall back on your checked shirt? Go off grid just a little with the geo print formal shirt. A graphic update on the menswear classic, its micro print and sharp cut means it’s versatile enough to work in the office as well as out in the evening.
