THE MERINO CREW NECK 


A menswear perennial, spun in hand-selected merino wool which has been chosen for its superior feel and natural warmth. The defined silhouette lends a smarter sensibility that can be styled with tailoring or pared back with denim. The lightweight material makes it a staple knitwear layering piece through the coldest days of the year.

THE WHITE T-SHIRT   

The baseline of every man’s wardrobe – the white T-shirt is refined and perfected by the COS design team with an exacting fit. A continuation of a timeless design, it’s crafted from soft organic-cotton jersey and fitted with slightly dropped shoulders for a relaxed shape. It holds its own as a standalone piece or as a foundation for everyday outfits.

THE SIGNATURE JEANS 

 

A fixture of the menswear collection, precisely cut in a timeless straight-leg shape. They’re crafted from durable 12.5oz organic-cotton denim with classic tobacco topstitching and metal rivets. They strike the balance between smart and casual, working just as well styled with a crisp white shirt as with simple knitwear.

THE OXFORD SHIRT 

 

The blueprint of casual shirting, the iconic COS oxford shirt is crafted with materiality in mind. Rendered in heavy Oxford cloth, the light texture lends structure that holds its shape. The typical button-down collar is replaced with a neat pointed collar that adds sharpness to smarter outfits styled with tailored pants.

THE MERINO POLO 

  The COS menswear team has reconfigured the polo shirt as a storied wardrobe staple in soft and lightweight merino wool, establishing a refined feel that helps elevate everyday outfits. Every detail is carefully considered: pearlescent seashell buttons fasten the neck and neatly ribbed trims retain shape. The merino yarn is selected for its warmth and superior, featherweight feel that provides day-to-day comfort.

THE SLIM-FIT PANTS 

 

Tailoring codes strengthen a foundation of men’s autumn outfits. The slightly narrow profile of a slim-fit pant creates a neat, clean-cut look that creates a solid base for versatile styling. Wear with layered knitwear and seasonal outerwear for considered off-duty appeal.
