The summer collection is a curation of classic menswear staples updated for the warmest months. Reflecting the ease of summer, the beach holiday packing list features men’s holiday essentials crafted in materials made for the coast. Accessories are versatile and practical, working just as well on the beach as they do in the city. 

With packing space at a premium, an adaptable neutral palette allows each piece to coordinate seamlessly, while lightweight fabrications stow easily into your luggage. 

SUMMER SHIRTS

The combination of camp collars and oversized pockets weave classic summer cool with practicality, while light tones like dusty peach refresh men’s summer shirts and echo the holiday mood. Each style is cut to a relaxed shape so they can be worn on their own or comfortably layered over a T-shirt or vest. 

SWIMWEAR

The swimwear collection reflects modern COS design codes. Quick-drying nylon men’s swim shorts feature refined utility details, with a snap closure and large cargo pockets. Every piece is designed to be worn at the beach and beyond, meaning fewer pieces to pack – the seersucker pair is naturally lightweight and breathable, and can be styled with a tailored shirt or a polo post dip.  

BREATHABLE TROUSERS 

Lightweight trousers that are easy to pack and simple to style are central to the collection this summer. Linen is chosen for its naturally airy qualities and fluid handle; each pair adds a smart take on summer style for days in the city. A jersey pair focuses on comfort and practicality, with an elasticated waistband and a crinkled finish that packs well, best styled with the coordinating shirt.  

RELAXED SHORTS 

A staple of the season, the summer short features on every holiday packing list. For a smarter look, tailored pieces recall classic menswear references with broader shapes and pleated details. Swim shorts are designed to be worn with separates off the beach. 

SUMMER KNITWEAR 

A balance of modern style and breathable fabrics allow knits to be worn on even the warmest days. Merino wool and recycled silk vests embody a sense of ease, while the ultra-light knitted paper T-shirt embodies the COS codes of craftsmanship and artisanal design.  

STATEMENT SUNGLASSES 

Wherever the destination, sunglasses are a men’s holiday essential. Aviator and D-frame shapes in tortoiseshell, khaki and black offer modern takes on archetypal styles – a simple way to update summer looks. 

SEASONAL COLOURS & MATERIALS

Classic shades of navy, white and neutrals are punctuated with dusty-orange hues for an easy summer mood. Carefully chosen fabrics are designed to suit the heat of summer, from silk to laid-back linen – a fixture throughout the collection. Breathable and tactile, flax fibres add texture to summer separates like the straight-leg trousers and the relaxed tailored shirt. 

RELAXED T-SHIRTS 

This season, boxy shapes, dropped shoulder seams and longer sleeves update a classic. A fixture in every man’s wardrobe, the relaxed T-shirt acts as a foundational piece for summer layering and holds its own worn solo – its versatility and lightweight design make it the perfect packing garment.
