Turn your out-of-date wardrobe into a style haven with Moss Bros.

They'll have you suited and booted in no time...

Alan Loughnane

Keeping up with the changing fashion world can be a task in itself and it can also be quite a heavy burden on your pocket. But it doesn’t have to be such an arduous task and the proof of this is the wonderfully stylish Moss Bros. website.

There is a common thought on the internet that a well-fitted suit is to women what lingerie is to men. Now, we are too long in the tooth to believe such a simplistic generalisation, but there is no doubting that it doesn’t hurt to be looking your best all the time.

Suiting up for a wedding or the races is always an event that Irish men look forward to; we love the feeling of pulling on the suit and, let’s face it, having a cheeky glance in the mirror to judge just how damn good we look. Plus, there is the mandatory moment of pretending you’re James Bond (if you say you don’t do this, we know you’re lying).

With some of the suits available at Moss Bros. you won’t have to worry about falling behind in the style stakes ever again. Also, with a 15% discount when you buy two or more suits at Moss Bros. we have picked out three examples that you could easily slot into your wardrobe…

The Slim Fit Grey Textured Check Suit pictured above is ideal for almost any occasion and it should suit anyone’s wardrobe quite nicely. We saw Rory McIlroy wear a slightly more, shall we say ‘risqué’, version of this suit at Old Trafford recently.

This suit is more reserved than Rory’s, however, but it should still be enough to turn a few heads and make you stand out from the crowd. Added to the suit is the checked tie and handkerchief which adds a hint of colour to liven up the criss-crossing grey of the suit. The whole look is a good balance of individuality without screaming “over the top.”

The second item available at Moss Bros. is the Slim Fit Blue Speckled 3 Piece Suit and it is one of our favourite suits on the site. Navy and blue suits are all the rage at the moment, but this three piece creation is just that tiny bit different from the common blue and navy.

The white speckles attract the eye and provide a brightening effect to the whole look, rather than the sombre tone of some darker shaded suits. The addition of the waistcoat to the jacket and trousers mean that the jacket can easily be discarded in favour of the more relaxed yet equally fashionable waist coat and white shirt. This is perfect for weddings and such where comfort needs to be at a premium and a jacket is just too warm to leave on throughout the evening.

Finally we have the Slim Fit Green Flannel 3 Piece Suit which really is a very elegant piece of clothing. It is the second Moss Bros. three piece suit on our list and is thoroughly deserving of a mention. The three piece is not only dapper and sophisticated, but coming into the winter months it adds another layer to help ward off the Irish chills.

The suit is perfect for the crisp white shirt and brown shoes look. It has just the one button on the suit jacket to eliminate the need to remember to leave the bottom button open.  It is available on the Moss Bros. website and we guarantee that you will be getting the right types of looks when out and about while wearing it.

These items are just an insight into what is available over at Moss Bros., for more fashion and style you can visit their website by clicking here and in no time at all you will be suited and booted. Don’t forget they have a running 15% discount when you buy two or more suits on their site.
