The holiday packing list

If there’s one dress you need for any holiday, no matter where, it’s this one. It’s made from pure linen that’s undyed for a completely natural look – a new process COS has introduced this season to create its collections with less impact. Light and breathable, it features gathered details at the back and wide straps for comfort. Add your favourite accessories to make it yours. 

Bring a fresh perspective to your ensembles with these frames. Crafted from Italian-made Mazzucchelli acetate, they feature tinted polarised lenses with full UV protection and are finished with flexible hinges and curved temples for a comfortable fit. With their cat-eye shape and transparent finish, they’re an instant classic.  

No holiday wardrobe is complete without a wide-brim straw hat. Crafted from 100% paper for a lightweight feel, it’ll keep you cool and covered in the warmest of climes on many summer escapes to come. 

Introducing the most hard-working piece in your holiday wardrobe. Crafted from lightweight linen with a relaxed cut, it can be dressed up or down – or thrown over a swimsuit – with ease.  

The ultimate holiday choice got elevated. Crafted from supple leather, COS’ take on the flip-flop is elevated with crossover straps and extra-soft padded footbeds. Plus, the leather is made using a chrome-free tanning method that leaves less of a footprint on the environment – now that’s what we call a win-win. 

Take to the water (or sun lounger) in style with COS’ new two-piece. At first glance, you’ll notice all the hallmarks of the brand’s signature design: clean lines, comfortable details and a rich navy hue. But do a deeper dive and you’ll find this piece is made more sustainably, too – reimagined in a recycled nylon-blend made from fishing nets, carpets and other nylon waste.
