The Tailored Waist Shirt

This piece is part of the COS ATELIER capsule, where specialised craft and innovative applications combine to create a refined collection. This season, the COS ATELIER collection spotlights effortless silhouettes. This shirt is expertly cut using a straight tailoring block to give it a classic shape, while the subtle pleats define the waist. Note how the collar folds neatly into itself.

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.
