Trompe-L'œil Belted Shirt Dress

This season, the COS womenswear team experimented with elevated printing techniques for a fresh perspective. Crafted from fluid viscose, this draped shirt dress has a softly gathered neckline, wide sleeves and a tonal belt to define the silhouette. Rendered in a rich caramel and off-white palette, it's decorated with a painted hem and an intricate trompe l'œil motif, creating the illusion of billowing pleats.

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.
