A summer staple updated with a comfortable elastic waist, these shorts are made from cotton with a crisp, lightweight quality. An easy pull-on style, they have side pockets, a welt pocket at the back and they are completed with neat single topstitching.
A brand whose aesthetic has been so influential that it’s hard to remember what went before. But when COS launched in 2007 against a backdrop of fast, trend-led fashion, its focus on minimal pieces at accessible prices was a breakthrough moment. With a focus on style over trend, it heralded a new era for interesting, modern, considered design and changed our wardrobes for the better, forever.
