I Combed Through Hundreds of Summer Arrivals at COS—These 32 Were the Chicest

The high-street brand our editors are most impressed by this season is COS. Simple classics are the bread and butter of this brand that has built a loyal fan base for its minimalist basics, so it's no surprise that the new-in section is filled with timeless separates that will go the distance in your wardrobe. COS doesn't do fads, but that doesn't mean the designs are boring.

This summer, the hero pieces have streamlined '90s silhouettes and elevated details like tie details (a huge 2024 runway trend) or an elegant neckline. The most appealing factor, though, is that COS pieces are always polished but still comfortable, with plenty of throw-on appeal. (Think flowing fabrics, delicate straps and clever draping.)

Specific highlights include the perfect turn-up jeans, the knit waistcoat and the hooded trench coat everyone (including Linda Tol, above) is wearing right now. There's also excellent-quality co-ords and the chicest minimalist footwear to go perfectly with all the relaxed tailoring. Keep scrolling to see the pieces we love from COS's new-in section.
