MENSWEAR retailer Moss Bros has reported better-than-expected Christmas trading after seeing younger customers smarten up for the party season.
A trend towards black-tie outfits has benefited the chain, which saw like-for- like sales grow 2.7% in the 24 weeks to January 12.
Its shares have doubled in the past year and were up by another 2% yesterday after the firm said profits for the year to the end of January were now expected to exceed City forecasts.
