shiny – Above The Ankles

Silver suits are a favourite of mine, definitely not a suit you would wear to work, I know some people do but hey, each to their own. The Moss London Tonic Mixer suit was my favourite suit 3 years ago before I eventually managed to buy a tuxedo. The suit goes great with everything and you really can stand out if you wear it to the right place. I have worn mine to weddings, award ceremonies, parties and even on a night out a few times. It’s one buttoned with notch lapels and single breasted, it really suits the slim fit style nicely. It comes with the normal two pockets and breasted pocket which I’m hoping you will keep the pockets closed and not ruin the shape of the jacket!

When I bought this it was known as the Ventuno21 suit but now it’s called the Moss London but I’m pretty sure it’s still the exact same fit as the one I had. The new Moss waistcoats are low cut so they only have three buttons as opposed to the normal five or six. The trousers on this suit are really thigh hugging so if you have quite big thighs I wouldn’t suggest this suit unless you know your measurements, and make sure you check the sizing guides.

When I initially bought this suit I remember it being around £150+ for the whole set but thankfully now it’s on sale;

The Blazer – From £99.00 To £59.00
The Trousers – From £60 To £20
The Waistcoat – From £49.00 To £39.00

The Total Price – £118.00

I would highly recommend the Moss London Slim Fit Silver Tonic Mixer as long as you’re not planning on wearing it for daily use, keep it only for events and times when you’re planning on really showing off.

So I’m out shopping the other day, pretty much the same as everyone else nowadays. Anyways I went into Moss Bros looking for brown suede loafers, did I find them? No I didn’t, however I did find some absolutely sexy shoes that I will need to save for the perfect occasion. Now we all know black patent shoes are amazing, you’ve all probably seen the Ted Baker ones thats in loads of stores. You’re probably thinking why are these any different? Well they aren’t. These Moss Bros black patent shoes are exactly the same in quality and appearance, I suppose you could say the only difference is they are significantly cheaper at £80. I do understand that the Ted Baker ones have a blue trim and a different sole but we don’t worry about that.

When To Wear Them

Now normally you would only wear these shoes at a specific event, i.e. a black tie dinner but I’m all about going against the mould. Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying we should wear these to work, calm down that would be social suicide. With that being said you can wear these with all of your dark suits. I wear these on any nights out to the restaurant with the Mrs or to any event that’s out of the ordinary where I know I’m going to be out during the night. I don’t know why but black patent shoes just don’t look that good during the day.

Fakes

Now I am aware that primark sold their own black patent shoe for £15 and I’m sure there’s other black patent shoes you could grab for £20-£30. Regardless of the company selling it, if you’re going to get black patent shoes make sure they are real leather. Everyone on the planet can tell if your wearing decent patent’s or not. Don’t be that guy trying to look rich.

Have a look yourself.
