3. You’ll need to know how to wear a suit properly, that includes tying your tie and styling pocket your pocket square. Clearly young Wayne didn’t get much help here.

5. We can help you with alterations so that your suit fits perfectly. Don’t take tips from Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Sean.

To make it simple for you, Moss Hire is the best choice if you’re going for a traditional wedding or need a lot of outfits (i.e. Best Men). Hiring also allows you to provide a great service however your ushers are split acorss the country as well as tightly managing your costs.

We wish you all the best!

Blue is everywhere we look. It’s the sea, it’s the sky, it’s the earth. Blue is nature. It has also been consistently one of the most popular colours when it comes to suits. It’s relevance is still very important this season. It’s one of the easiest colours for men to wear in all it’s varying tones and that’s why we’ve highlighted it in the second part of our Spring/Summer 15 Collections.

Inspired by nature’s blue. Explore the collection by watching this:

Our Creative Director Sotos Georgalli comments “A staple of any man’s wardrobe should be the navy blue suit. It’s super flexible in terms of teaming with other colours and accessories as well as being able to wear it any time of day or night.The blue blazer can be easily dressed up or down and is simply adaptable to any occasion. Team it with a crisp white shirt or a classic white tee.”

If you want to be suave you have to be charming, confident and elegant. We can’t help you too much with the charming bit but we can definitely make you elegant and with that comes confidence.

Depending on what your plans are for the day can determine what you should wear. A safe option is to keep it smart casual. Therefore you’re ready for any type of venue and you can still feel as if you look good. A formal jacket is perfect for this.

For a tailored fit our new in Moss 1851 deconstructed jackets have a more relaxed fit to compliment your body shape without any heavy padding on the shoulders. They also keep you looking smart and are extremely comfortable so perfect for a whole day out.

You’ll also need a great shirt. Make sure it compliments your jacket and also looks good by itself. A print sits really well by itself or you can opt for a plain shirt which gives more attention to the jacket. A stripe or check shirt is always a great option. From left to right: this Moss London tumbling hearts print shirt, Moss 1851 blue chambray casual shirt and Savoy Taylors Guild berry gingham twill shirt.

Valentine’s Day, as we know is synonymous with the colour red. Therefore adding any red accessories is always a nice touch. From left to right: Moss London red stitch handkerchief and Moss 1851 wine polka dot silk handkerchief.

Even if the date’s not successful, you’re going to look good. Just kidding, we’re sure everything will be as good as your outfit.

Our very own Scottish Assistant Buyer Lynsey Doherty gives you the low down on Burns’ Night and what’s best to wear.

Are you out for Burns’ Night? Or maybe you’re wondering what it is. Well, Burns’ Night is on the 25th January and is widely celebrated not only in Scotland but throughout the world as an applause of Scotland’s most famous poet Robert Burns. He wrote several poems and songs which are still famous to this day, the most well known of these would be ‘Auld Lang Syne’. Now you’re probably wondering what do you actually get up to on the night. That’s the best bit. To celebrate, you have a Burns’ Supper. People come together and eat the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties and also indulge in some whisky drinking.

Normally, the host of the supper will give a brief background on the life of Robert Burns and a few of his poems will be read out during the night. Often the night ends with some traditional ceilidh dancing, which after a few glasses of whisky is a lot of fun.

Of course it is tradition to wear a kilt (which you can hire from our highland collections here: http://www.mossbroshire.co.uk/) or even tartan trousers AKA trews but if you can’t get hold of either, try accessorising your outfit with tartan. You can also think of it as a Black Tie event. This is where we can help.

Our green tartan dress suit would be perfect for the occasion or if you prefer to be a tad more subtle, try our slim fit tartan velvet jacket with peak lapel.

You could always style a black jacket over this Moss London slim fit red tartan check shirt.

Or as it’s a tad chilly, simply wrap either of these Moss London Tartan Scarfs around you.

If you’re not keen on adding tartan to your outfit or really can’t get hold of anything tartan. Here are some dinner suits you can try: http://www.moss.co.uk/dinner-suits

Enjoy the night, have a sing and dance but try not to drink too much whisky.

New Years Eve is fast approaching and we know you’ll be looking for something to wear. Our suggestion? Add some sleeve.

Black Tie is always very popular for New Years Eve but we’re going to leave that till last as we know a lot of you will just be looking for a simple shirt or jacket to add a touch of style to your outfit. Firstly, we recommend a jacket, reasons why are simple. A jacket is a comfortable yet smart option, it’s easy to slip on and off & can instantly smarten up a casual look. So no matter what type of event you attend on the night, you’ll be ready for anything.

Now what happens if you take the jacket off? You’ve got to have a suave shirt underneath. Printed, striped, block colour and tartan are some great options to choose. Again we have shirts in all different fits to match your jacket.

Don’t fancy going out too smart? Keep it casual in these.

Alternatively, go all out in our smart shirts, designer or luxury.

You’ve got your shirt and jacket sorted. To top it off team with either a pair of jeans or chinos. You can also add optional extras like a pocket square for your jacket or a nice pair of brogue shoes. It’s entirely up to you.

If you are attending a Black Tie event, you can read our Black Tie blog here: bit.ly/MBPartySeason

Enjoy your evening and we hope your head doesn’t hurt too much in 2015.

Haven’t you always wanted a suit that nobody else has? Your very own suit, unique to you. We know what you’re going to say; Yes of course, but I don’t have enough money or time to create one. With our Moss Bespoke service, time and money isn’t an issue.

To simplify the process of how Moss Bespoke works, give the following a quick read.

A consultation and fitting with one of our suit experts takes between 30-45 minutes, you can either ring or pop in-store to make an appointment  at one of our 30 specialist bespoke stores – http://www.moss.co.uk/bespoke-stores

At your appointment you will be guided through the simple process:

You then get to select your cloth. Our broad range of cloths are separated into four collections;

– Specially selected, from £295. (+ waistcoat £90)
– Fine, from £325. (+ waistcoat £95)
– Luxury, from £395. (+ waistcoat £110)
– Deluxe, from £495. (+ waistcoat £120)

There are over 100 cloths to choose from so you’ll be spoilt for choice. You can then choose a lining that matches your colour scheme or accessories which is key to subtly making the suit your own.

Once you’ve chosen your cloth the fun begins: choosing all the little details that are unique to your suit. Horn or shell buttons, working button cuffs and even coloured buttonholes are personal choices that make the suit your own. A hidden monogram in your inside pocket, with the initials of your loved one or your wedding date, can provide a stylish souvenir of your special day.

You’ll receive your suit within 8 weeks of you fitting and any final adjustments can be made in store prior to collection.

As we’re currently in Sale this couldn’t be a better time to get the Moss Bespoke experience. We are offering 100% wool 2-piece bespoke suits from our Fine cloth range from only £200.

Just to finish, as an added extra for those who are looking for an extra special service. By appointment we can arrange for a Moss Bespoke evening for you and your friends. Enjoy refreshments while a team of style advisors take you through the fitting and selection process.

We hope to see you in-store soon.
