A sleeveless design, this vest-style top is made from a bonded cotton blend for a smooth, padded quality with tonal topstitching in a checked pattern. Cut for a straight, boxy fit designed to be pulled on, it has a classic round neck, slightly dropped armholes and a clean folded hem.
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.
