Menswear OOTD The Festive Corduroy Suit

Written on November 23, 2023.

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

Menswear OOTD The Granny Bag

Written on November 1, 2023.

I got these Barbie-pink trousers from H&M’s Studio Collection and I was itching for the right time to debut. I took a walk amongst the sunflowers – I often get mistaken for Van Gogh because of the red hair and beard – and decide to dress them up for an early autumn night out. A berry-coloured sheer shirt and contrasting scarf was paired with a summer trench. A mock-croc vintage granny picked up on Ebay for a tenner completes the look. Is it your bag?!
