Presented live from the Dionyssomarble Quarry in Athens, the COS Spring Summer 2025 runway collection conveyed a quiet evolution of the COS wardrobe. Clean cuts and relaxed tailoring in a neutral palette were explored through a rigorous approach to craft, construction and fabric, while classic styles were revisited, bringing a fresh perspective to traditional designs – each one honouring the practice of hand-drawn sketches, draping on the stand and hand-painted artwork for prints. 

The vast and striking natural space echoed the essence of the COS design language: elevated foundations, grounded with neutral tones and steel-grey hues. The setting created an impactful contrast to the clean minimalism and sculptural lines of the collection. 

Take a closer look at the COS Spring Summer 2025 men’s collection and discover the key pieces from the runway.  

THE LEATHER JACKET 

Building on the house codes of lasting design and exceptional craftsmanship, the men’s leather jacket was revealed as a central piece of the runway collection, crafted from supple chrome-free lambskin in a rich deep-khaki tone.

Everyday silhouettes rendered in luxurious materials embody the essence of the season. Pared-back styling showcased the rich quality of the leather; the jacket was worn nonchalantly over a simple white cotton T-shirt with fluid, wide-leg trousers. The eternal appeal of the men's leather is indisputable – pare it back with denim or style it with a suit to offset the formality of tailoring.  

TAILORING 

The runway presented a balance between modern design and the traditional codes of COS tailoring; relaxed suiting refined through a studied palette and purposeful details. Structured shoulders and roomy shapes lean classic, while a sleeveless blazer skews established menswear proportions.  

HOW TO STYLE A SUMMER SUIT 

Men’s blazers were styled over zipped polos and lightweight cotton T-shirts on the runway – an interplay of smart and casual. The sleeveless blazer was the focal point in an entirely black ensemble, paired with leather mules and wide-leg trousers, with angular sunglasses as an accent. For a more polished take, men’s blazers can be styled with a crisp shirt and a pair of loafers. 

THE SHIRT 

The show explored interpretations of the resort shirt, shaped to a relaxed silhouette and finely crafted in silk in a dark-grey hue or rendered in a unique marbled print inspired by Renaissance paintings.  

HOW TO STYLE A SHIRT 

A versatile hero for the season, the resort shirt can be styled in myriad ways for holiday or the city. Follow the cues of the show and wear tucked into wide-leg tailored trousers for a perfect smart meets casual look or style the printed version head to toe for a bolder statement. 

UTILITY WEAR 

The show introduced a subdued take on utility. Rendered in an enduring midnight-blue tone, the cotton field jacket is designed with workwear-inspired details, such as the oversized pockets and elongated storm flap. Proposing a new everyday uniform, roomy shapes and lightweight fabrications lend themselves to the transition from spring to summer. 

HOW TO STYLE A UTILITY JACKET 

Pieces with functional details were modernised through bold proportions and a considered colour palette. Men’s utility jackets can be styled with wide-leg shorts and leather fisherman sandals for contrast throughout the summer months.
