A WARM TONED ALTERNATIVE TO SUMMER NEUTRALS


Words: C. Saramowicz

 

You’ve probably seen copper tones around this summer, weaving their way into suiting, shoes and casual daily wear. Though this terracotta colour is often associated with autumn, in the summer it’s a bold, warm alternative to taupe, reminiscent of Spanish tapas dishes and sun-soaked mornings in Marrakech. Tone down the neutrals this summer and try something new – see below on how we styled our copper pieces this season.

 

Moss - rust and ecru stripe open knit

Keep it subtle

If you don’t want to dive into wearing head-to-toe copper quite yet, add a subtle touch to your daily outfit with a pattern. Our rust stripe crochet shirt features vertical stripe details that gives a nod to the colour without overpowering your look. Wear it over a vest or unbuttoned when the heat kicks in.

 

Moss - copper Hoxton jacket

 

The statement piece

If neutrals are your thing, adding a shot of colour is a great way to elevate your look. It could be as simple as adding a copper pocket square, tie or sock, but if you want to go further, a jacket is the way to go. Our copper Hoxton jacket is unlined with a bit more drape across the shoulders, making it ideal for more relaxed affairs.

 

Moss - copper wool linen coord

 

Head-to-toe

If you’re ready to go all out in copper, a coord is for you. Made from cloth crafted by Japanese fabric specialists Takisada, this wool linen set is a great way to look cohesive and make a statement at the same time. The good thing about coords is that you can wear the pieces separately as well as together, giving you an infinite amount of options for outfits depending on the mood and occasion.

 

Moss - rust suede espadrille

 

Accessorise

If copper clothing isn’t really for you, how about a shoe or two? Rhymes aside, adding a bright shoe is a great way of adding colour to an outfit without going overboard. Ours is an elevated take on the espadrille, crafted from Italian suede with a traditional jute base. The copper colour really pops on the leather, making them a real conversation starter during gatherings and events.
