Do I currently have 21 COS pieces sitting in my basket that I would happily buy right now? The answer probably will not surprise you. Yes. In fact, I could probably find even more, but this time I decided to stop at 21. You absolutely do not have to.

By now, I think most of you already know that COS is easily one of my top three favourite high street brands. It has been a favourite for a very long time and remains one of the brands I return to season after season. I have mentioned this before, but their collections often give me a subtle The Row feeling. Everything is clean, minimal and beautifully cut. The colour palette is usually quite neutral, the silhouettes are simple, and they focus on exactly the kind of wardrobe staples I genuinely enjoy wearing.

When it comes to their summer collections, there is a lot of what I naturally gravitate towards anyway: cotton, linen and the occasional silk-blend piece. These are the fabrics I find myself reaching for every summer. Another reason I keep coming back to COS is how versatile the pieces are. Most of the collection is minimal and understated, which means everything works together effortlessly. They integrate effortlessly into my existing wardrobe and work just as well with other COS pieces as they do with designer items or old favourites I have owned for years.

I have several of their white T-shirts and tank tops in both Milan and Monaco, and I genuinely love the quality of the cotton. Those are the pieces I end up wearing constantly and replacing whenever necessary because they have become such a staple for me. Then, each season, I usually add a few new pieces that fit naturally into my wardrobe rather than buying things simply because they are trending. That is probably what I like most about COS. Their collections never feel overwhelming or overly trend-driven. Instead, they offer pieces that can quietly become part of your wardrobe for years.

This summer, one of my favourite purchases has been a linen blazer and matching tailored bermuda shorts. It is exactly the kind of outfit I love wearing during warmer months: simple, polished and versatile enough for so many different occasions. The pieces work perfectly together, but I know I will probably wear the blazer and shorts separately just as often. The current collection is also full of easy dresses, great linen pieces, summer hats, leather sandals and accessories that can be mixed and matched with almost anything. While writing this, I also realised I have never really talked about their sunglasses, which is funny because I own several pairs and genuinely love them.

All in all, I think COS does a fantastic job. If you are looking for a high street brand that offers quality fabrics, clean silhouettes and pieces that do not feel dated after one season, it is definitely one worth exploring. As always, I have gone through the current collection and selected the pieces that stood out to me the most. Some are things I already own, some are currently sitting in my basket, and some are pieces I am still trying to convince myself I do not need. So, here are the 21 COS pieces I would buy for summer.
