Crafted from a linen-cotton blend in a dark-green hue, these breathable shorts are cut for an oversized fit and have a comfortable elasticated waistband designed to sit above the hips. The A-line hem falls before the knee.
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.
'Made with 55% linen. Linen is made from the fibres of the flax plant. Flax is resilient and can grow in poor soil, using less water than cotton to produce.'
