If most luxury fashion is merch, then opt for quality merch, no?

Luxury fashion has been happily heading towards the merch category, where the brand is more important than the design, over the last few years. Brands have been sticking their name onto any old products with a consumer seemingly happy to lap up the lack of quality as long as the desired name was attached. The resale market, where it is all about the label, has helped to propel this need for a brand name and the need for buyers wanting everybody else to know what they have or are wearing. (Leave the price ticket on?) We’ve been brainwashed into thinking a brand name adds value rather than judging the quality of the item for ourselves.

Menswear OOTD The Festive Corduroy Suit

Moss Bros has had a refresh and now goes by the name of MOSS. Rolling stones gather no moss, but a stylish geek certainly does. The new MOSS is a lot more contemporary and almost Reiss-like but more affordable, offering a rich palette of colours and textured fabrics. This suit also comes in a lovely pastel green and brown. This chic red corduroy that I have chosen has a 1960s feel with the DB jacket and slimmer/tapered trousers. I’ve teamed it here with a red matching coat, patent shoes and PARTY!!! smoking hat for a festive night out, but you could also add a trainers and white T-shirt or Merino knit for daytime. MOSS – Jacket – £149, Trouser – £80
