Designed to sit between the hip and the waist, these pleated trousers are made from cotton. A voluminous shape with a dropped crotch, it has slanted pockets, a strap at the back and a length that goes just beyond 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.
