THE STYLES YOU’LL BE GLAD TO HAVE TO HAND WHEN THE HEAT HITS
With hotter weather comes an opportunity to experiment with outfitting – warmer colours, lighter fabrics and different cuts that reflect the ease of summer. However, having a foundational wardrobe that you can mix and match and combine your more out-there pieces with is key – it’s all about fundamental pieces that always work, however you style them. Below are our hand-picked go-to styles that will make morning dressing a whole lot simpler.
The t-shirt you’ll wear everywhere
Everyone needs a t-shirt that goes with everything. Why stop at one, though? Our heavy weight crew neck is crafted from 100% rich cotton and comes in four different colours, making constructing your casual outfits a walk in the park. With dropped shoulders and a relaxed boxy fit, the fabric has a really good drape but still looks structured enough to pair with smart chinos.
The go-to summer trousers
Hopefully, the weather will stay warm enough that you can live in your shorts, but if you are going to be wearing trousers this summer, invest in a pair that will see you through work and weekends alike. Light fabrics and breathability is essential, so go for organic cotton or linen to keep things airy. Our pleated trousers have a roomier thigh and seat, making sweaty commutes and sun soaked walks just that little bit comfier. With an adjustable waistband for a better fit, pair them with linen shirts for office days or cotton tees and loafers for days off.
The smart-casual linen shirt
We love a linen shirt here at Moss. Combine summer’s favourite fabric with cotton, however, and you’ve got a crease-resistant and much softer garment that has all the benefits of both cloths. We’ve topped our linen-blend shirts with a Cuban collar for a versatile shirt that can be worn on holiday, in the pub and any outdoor events you’ve got planned. The slub texture makes them breathable, too – the tiny pockets of air formed by its irregular yarns help regulate your body temperature, keeping you cool on warmer days. Wear it unbuttoned with shorts on the beach, and combine with chinos for evening dinner.
The work-to-weekend shorts
The humble short, reworked to make it a bit more versatile. Cut on the same block as our pleated trousers, our pleated shorts feature the mitred extended waistband and side adjusters for a smarter look. The sartorial details make them perfect for smart-casual summer events, particularly when combined with a button-down or a merino knit tee. They’re also crafted from seersucker and linen for extra airiness.
Lightweight espadrilles
Trainers and sandals are natural go-to’s for the summer, but sometimes the occasion calls for a bit of formality. Made from supple Italian suede with a natural jute sole, our espadrilles our an elevated version of this classic summer shoe. They’re also lightweight and pliable, which makes them great for packing on holiday.
