The Minimalist Staples I'm Buying From COS This Summer

last updated 13 May 2020

Simple, timeless and irresistibly minimalist, there is something so timely about COS's spring/summer collection. Of course, the brand has been championing the stripped-back aesthetic long before it was on-trend, but over the last few months, we can't deny that over many other high-street brands, it has an edge when it comes to achieving that high-end finish with a high-street budget.

Away from the melee of clashing prints and look-at-me logos, COS is a breath of fresh air as we edge ever-closer to the summer months. With the '90s minimalist look having a moment in the sartorial spotlight, there's no better place to go for tank tops and strappy dresses, the likes of which could happily be transported back to Gwyneth Paltrow circa 1995.

So what's at the top of our COS wish lists? We can't deny that the brand's eclectic selection of sleeveless tops has piqued our interest, with everything from leather to knitted fabric making an appearance. We're also keen to get our hands on one of those utility jumpsuits for easy WFH style—just add Birkenstocks. We also recommend heading on down to the chic loungewear pieces at the bottom which are sure to appeal to your inner hoodie-wearer. Trust us on this one. Happy scrolling!
