Is it just me or does anyone else find shopping overwhelming? As an experienced fashion editor, I should probably be a dab hand by now— but since I spend all day every say scrolling through new-in sections, it’s an occupational hazard to be completely spoiled for choice. That’s why each season I usually end up just focusing on a handful of my favourite brands and stocking up on chic basics that I know will all work together— with the odd investment dress, accessory or vintage find thrown in for good measure.
When I began browsing recently to bring my summer capsule collection up to date, there was one clear brand that jumped out at me for having the best edit of expensive-looking pieces: COS. A high street favourite of the Who What Wear UK team and one of my long time go-tos for minimalist classics, this summer I must say they’ve truly excelled themselves. With plenty of linen staples, versatile basics and gorgeous dresses for events as well as everyday, I’d honestly be happy shopping only from there this season. It’s hardly surprising, then, that myself and so many of my fellow editors have been stocking up on hero pieces from the new collection recently.
I managed to edit my wish list down and placed an order of a few key items I’d had my eye on to really elevate my existing summer wardrobe of flowery dresses and denim shorts— and they didn’t disappoint. Keep scrolling to see the pieces I’m keeping (and can wholly recommend after trying), and how I’ll be styling them in lots of different ways together this summer…
