the mod one button

Take note from the cult Mod movement, depicted in the new adaptation of the classic film Brighton Rock . The film is set in 1960'sBrighton , which shows the mods and rocker riots on Brighton beach. The cast include Sam Riley, Helen Mirren and Andrea Riseborough.
Mod fashion is about creating a simple, sharp silhouette - meaning a tailored slim cut suit in a Mohair tonic suit paired with a super sharp shirt. This will certainly make you stand out from the crowd. We've a fantastic selection of beautiful lightweight fabrics with a slight shimmer, is a particular favorite of mine!  is a blue and pale yellow medium weight wool, silk and linen mix. The fabric is woven with two high contrast colours giving it a vibrant tonic effect. Sharkskin is another of my favorites, it's a light weight, grey fabric, with a tonic weave - perfect for all seasons.
The Mod look is certainly a favorite of mine at the moment, particularly when worn with a skinny tie - which sets off the 60's inspired trend!During these times of belt (or hip adjuster!) tightening, it is important to remember that one can breathe new life into wardrobe staples by simply adding a bit of colour. By this I mean accessorising an existing suit with a different colour palette, to give it a new lease of life, which is where the simple shirt can often come in handy.Although a  bespoke suit is a thing of beauty, in which one cannot help but feel slightly regal, it is not in contact your skin like a shirt is, and we must not overlook the humble shirt. In fact, I might even go as far as to say that a bespoke shirt is the ultimate luxury! When cut correctly, in a shirting fabric that you love, in a shade that is flattering, it really is like a second skin.
