Moss Wears: workwear
See how our head office team styles their summer work gear.
Summer workwear – outfitting that requires careful planning for all scenarios, from sweaty commutes to air conditioned offices. Here, our head office team is showing how summer workwear can be both polished and practical. Let’s take a look at the team in their favourite pieces, with styled images and insights on how they approach dressing for the warmer months.
Aryana, Junior Designer
What are you wearing today?
I’m wearing the taupe four-button cardigan. I’ve styled it quite casually with a white tank and grey jeans.
What do you think makes a great office outfit?
A great office outfit is a balance between professionalism, comfort, and personal style. For me, it’s one that makes me feel confident and put together throughout the day.
What’s your biggest office outfit regret?
Not considering layering. While it might be hot outside, the air conditioning indoors can make the office quite chilly!
If you could wear one thing from the collection every single day, what would it be?
It would definitely be the cardigan. It's also available in navy and white, making it a versatile piece that complements a wide range of outfits. It’s perfect to wear on its own or throw over the shoulders as a styling element.

Tommaso, Junior Designer
What are you wearing today?
I'm wearing the off-white cuban collar linen shirt and casual navy stripe trousers. The white shirt with navy trouser works contrasts well, and they are both very comfortable in a relaxed fit, perfect for a casual summer look.
How would you describe your personal style
I have a very simple style focused on comfort – not too colourful either, as I feel plain or darker colours suit my look better. Plain t-shirts, shackets or linen shirts with the sleeves rolled up, combined with jeans or linen/wool trousers and often topped off with a cap.
What do you think makes a great office outfit?
Comfort is just as important for your office days as it is for your off-duty ones. You need to feel good in your clothes. I stay away from trying too hard, making sure my clothes are ironed and not wearing hoodies or clothes that are too sporty.
What's your biggest office outfit regret?
I would have to say shorts which are either too short or too tight. I also once wore something a bit too relaxed – a hoodie with linen trousers – which made me look as if I was lounging at home.
If you could wear one thing from the collection every single day, what would it be?
The oversized t-shirts are the best. With a great range of colours, they have a high cotton count and a thick feel to them, which I like in a t-shirt. The khaki wool linen shacket, the brown suede jacket and the blue bengal cotton linen stripe shirt are also favourites.

Matt, Head of E-Commerce
What are you wearing today?
I'm wearing a light blue linen shirt, tailored fit stone chinos and a pair of classic Moss white trainers.
How would you describe your personal style
Imperial leisure.
What do you think makes a great office outfit?
An outfit that's comfortable, stays cool on the commute and can see you through to an evening out as well.
What's your biggest office outfit regret?
Purple shirt with a lime green tie – a tragic mistake that I didn’t hear the end of for years. That was about 25 years ago but I’m not over it yet.
If you could wear one thing from the collection every single day, what would it be?
Our new merino knitted polos - a great top on their own or as a layering piece. And with lots of collar choices and colours, you can wear them all week and keep looking fresh.

Nadia, Returns Specialist
What are you wearing today?
I am wearing the cotton linen dusty pink wide stripe shirt. I tucked the collar in and crossed it over at the front to give it a more feminine edge to match my personal style.
How would you describe your personal style
In the office, my style is a mixture of smart-casual with a modern edge. I like mixing tailored pieces with more laid-back elements to keep it comfortable yet put-together.
What do you think makes a great office outfit?
A great office outfit is one that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and polished. It should reflect your personal style while still being appropriate for the workplace.
What's your biggest office outfit regret?
Wearing brand new shoes to the office without breaking them in first. I was so focused on looking smart that I didn’t think about comfort – by the end of the day, I could barely walk!
If you could wear one thing from the collection every single day, what would it be?
I would choose the olive melange merino-blend button-through shirt – the texture and cut make it super wearable. I’d style it by tucking it in and pairing it with black jeans.
