Shirts for all seasons

Men’s fashion is returning to a slightly more adult attitude. While hoodies and t-shirts will always have a place in your wardrobe, today there’s a strong appetite for the classics. Shirts are something that can easily be overlooked because they’re a little stuffy or too formal, but Cos’ prodigious collection is sure to have something that will float your boat.

Reworks of classic styles, such as looser oxford shirts and cozier boiled wool overshirts, are a great place to start if you want something a little more contemporary. Smarter, more tried-and-tested styles are available in a fitted cotton poplin for those who need something to up their office wear game, and Cos will also, on occasion, deliver a shirt that’s sort of tricked out , as having a vintage feel. 50s-inspired patch pockets or drawstring at the waist. Not forgetting the wide range of short and long sleeve printed styles available, so you’re covered no matter the time of year.

Denim for days

Is £100 for jeans expensive? There are really two ways to look at it: yes, anything over £100 is an investment for most of us, but it’s always worth considering how often you’ll need to replace the item in the long run term. A little upfront cost to get something that will need to be replaced a lot less is often a better solution than going for a cheaper pair that you’ll have to replace over and over again.

This approach is definitely worth considering for Cos’ denim selection – most of which float around the £100 mark and offer any silhouette and wash you could want, really. We are particularly fans of the Dome Straight Leg Jean; it’s a really solid option for the baggier place menswear is currently in, without going overboard – more of a real homage to 90s silhouettes. Whether you’re looking for a slimmer pair or whether you want to go all out on the barrel leg or wider shapes, you are truly satisfied at Cos.

A suit can be the most comfortable and flattering thing you can own, if you choose the right one. Aside from going the custom route – which produces incredibly good results, but can be extremely expensive – your best option is to buy “off the shelf”.

A basic suit can be easy to find in most department stores because, for many of us, tailoring forms the backbone of what we need to wear on a daily basis. However, finding a slightly more interesting or exciting style of costume that won’t cost an arm and a leg can be trickier.

This is where Cos can really be a useful place to shop. You can find suits that are a little more playful or trendier, like a double-breasted, flared-leg style that looks straight out of Harry Style’s wardrobe (or that of Lennon Gallagher, for that matter), for under £400, under the same roof as more traditional options like a regular-fit twill suit, perfect for an uncluttered office wardrobe rotation. Cos also runs the gamut in between, for weddings, more casual suits and anything that requires a bit of sartorial flair.

Cashmere scarves? Yeah. Elegant small leather goods? Of course. Bags? Absolutely. Like any purveyor of good clothing, Cos also makes sure to lure you in with some great everyday accessories that are hard to refuse.

The selection of bags on offer is definitely something to pay attention to, whether you lean more towards the side of nylon shoulder bags or need a ridiculously roomy bag for on the go, the options all fall into one format very discreet but well-designed category that is surprisingly affordable. The same goes for Cos leather goods – a solid range of options that are a great place to look if you’re considering moving on from a well-worn wallet.
