165 Years of Tailoring: Blue is the new Black

If you’ve been following the #MossBros165 story, you’ll know that we’ve been supplying men with tailored pieces for their wardrobes since 1851. We know blue is the must have for the season and the sartorial choice for the man of today – they should have a home in every man’s wardrobe.

Teals and Bright Blues seen in the Moss London range will bring your wardrobe back to life for the Spring. Both of these options are cut in a slim fit, with the classic two-button fastening on a single-breasted jacket. We’ve used a notch lapel on the jackets so you can wear them to the office with a crisp, white shirt or dress it down with a pair of jeans.

Moss 1851’s tailored fit will bring some colour to even the greyest British day, ensuring your style credentials are intact. You’ll be bang on trend in this fit with the addition of teal to your wardrobe – especially with the muted jewel-toned fabric. Wear this look formally for a considered look at the office, or wear it on the weekend for a more casual look with some chinos and brogues.

Head here to check out all our blue suits and embrace this key trend for 2016.

165 Years of Tailoring: The Three-Piece Redefined

Whether you’re at your desk or going to dinner, this season’s versatile tweed suit will carry you to any occasion in style.

Start your day right by keeping it trim and smart. Wear this stylish Moss London tweed with a denim shirt for an edgier look and add a pop of colour with our Moss London Skinny Tie.

As you venture into the afternoon, it’s time to loosen up as you get into the swing of work. Ditch the jacket, roll up the sleeves of the Moss London Denim Shirt and show off that fantastic waistcoat that will make you the centre of attention in any meeting.

Take the look from day to night by leaving the tie at the office and unbuttoning the shirt’s collar. Grab the jacket, along with your wallet and keys, and make a beeline for the nearest bar or to a date with your significant other. This considered look will ensure you don’t look like you’ve just rolled out of the office – but instead will keep your style credentials in check!

Be a Black Tie Rebel this New Years Eve and beyond…

New Years Eve is all about dressing to impress and there’s no better way to do that than embracing the Black Tie Rebels look. However, your statement jacket won’t just carry you through the night in style – you can also make it your look for 2016.

Before we get you looking smart in January – let’s focus on the main event. If dress code allows, there’s no need to stick to the classic black tie. Worn everywhere from the red carpet to the streets, the Velvet jacket is definitely our hero piece this season. With colours like emerald green and cobalt blue, you’ll definitely stand out from the crowd.

There’s also a really easy way to turn this statement jacket into an everyday item, ready for heading back to work in 2016. Pair the jacket with a pair of jeans and some more casual shoes to work velvet into your daily wardrobe. The truly adventurous will wear this with skinny jeans and trainers for a real nod to the Black Tie Rebel aesthetic.

Stuck on what to pair with your jacket? Look inside – the lining is there to help you! Keep coordinated by using the colours of the lining to ensure you keep the look in check. This is a great way to keep you right if you’re not confident in dressing it down.

Seven ways to buy for a guy…

Buying a gift for a guy can be a stressful and confusing exercise. However, we’ve put together our seven ways to buy for a guy to make things a little easier:

1. Don’t be afraid to ask him what he wants. However, if you want it to be a surprise, go into full James Bond-mode – keep your eyes and ears open and keep a note of your findings to figure out that one thing that he’s really after.

2. Consider his lifestyle. Is he a sports fan? Workaholic? Student? Survivalist? Partier? Fitness/Health Enthusiast? You need to make sure the gift fits the person – but there are ideas that are universal for all, for example, an umbrella will be any British man’s best friend.

3. Keep budget in mind and what your relationship is like. It’s a little creepy when you spend over £30 on someone – unless they’re good friends or family. Luckily, we’ve curated out gift shop with gifts from £10 and under up to £50 and under.

4. Play to his strengths. Someone who works in corporate finance will appreciate certain gifts more than a freelance graphic designer. Cufflinks are a great way to complement someone who wears a suit while a new satchel will be the perfect present for someone who is on the move at work.

5. Think about what he already has. We all know some men have a certain affinity to some brands more than others. Our Gift Shop can handpick different offerings from the likes of DKNY, Calvin Klein, French Connection and Ted Baker – who does he already wear?

6. A Gift Card isn’t admitting defeat. Sometimes you just don’t know what to buy someone and you know they will know best. Take the pressure off with a Moss Bros. gift card. They can be pre-loaded from £10.00 and can be personalised with your own message.

7. Sometimes basic is better. We all need the little things and guys really appreciate any opportunity to avoid the shops and get the essentials. That’s why socks, underwear and scarves make great gifts. Some might say they’re cliché but we think when you’re picking from Calvin Klein, French Connection and Ted Baker you can be sure they’ll be stylish as well as practical.

Be in our gang: Become a Black Tie Rebel

After working 9-5 for the whole year, it’s time for a few well-deserved parties. Unless the dress code is strictly Black Tie, how you dress is up to you – and we’re encouraging you to be a rebel.

Break the habit and avoid the go-to suit or shirt you’ve been wearing all year – its time to shake things up and to try on something a little different. Regardless of fit, size and style, it’s time to bring your Black Tie Rebel attitude out of the closet and embrace this trend.

The best way to slip past those velvet ropes is to look at home anywhere in a signature velvet jacket. Worn by everyone from the most fashion forward on the streets to the red carpet stars, it’s an incredibly versatile piece that will carry you through party season.

Blue is the new black – Black tie has been upgraded with the introduction of cobalt blue. To ensure the tone is on-trend for 2015, we’ve worked this into a printed jacket and a rich velvet blazer – making it the perfect choice for full on formal attire or a low key drinks party. Move up from the block colour jacket as we have crafted a series of jacquard and velvet prints to add texture to your look and propel you out from the crowd. You can also play this key piece down by pairing it with dark jeans and a t-shirt.

Burgundy isn’t just for in a wine glass – it’s also the colour to wear this party season. Carrying you from early afternoon right the way through to the early hours without looking tired. Whether you opt for the tonal head-to-toe effect or the accent jacket, you’ll be sure to be making a statement in this rich, season-relevant tone.

The Temperature’s Rising

The Temperature’s Rising

We all know the warmer it gets the more uncomfortable it becomes to wear multiple layers. However, if you want to keep that suave look but not get too hot and bothered we’ve got some top tips for you.

First, select a linen or lightweight cotton casual shirt. Linen in particular is valued for it’s coolness & freshness in hot weather. Our casual shirt collection comprises short & long sleeved shirts in punchy prints, bold patterns, checked & plain designs.

Next up is the jacket. Why put on a jacket? Because you’ll look the business, that’s why. Now before you start to think you’ll get ridiculously hot with a jacket on, we’ve got that covered as well. Similar to our casual shirt collection we have a collection of linen & lightweight cotton jackets in a broad range of colours and styles.

You can also opt to buy a full linen suit which is a wise idea especially if you’re attending a summer wedding. Don’t forget adding a pocket square will bring your outfit to life if you’ve picked a subtle shirt & jacket.

Dressing in this attire will suit you for events like Wimbledon, Henley Royal Regatta, Summer weddings & tea parties.

Now you can stay suave without becoming uncomfortable, enjoy chaps.
