The packable swim shorts

Of all the many great things about summer holidays, the beach and pool are two of the best. Since a pair of swim shorts is essential for these moments, it always pays to be prepared – and COS’ new packable design is perfect.

Cut for a regular fit, they feature a comfortable elasticated waistband and are finished in a versatile black colourway. They can be packed away into the concealed back zipped pocket and have a practical hook for easy transportation. Plus, they’re made from a recycled nylon and ECONYL®-blend – making them a more sustainable choice for your poolside wardrobe.

The crossbody bag

Modern style meets practical design in COS’ new crossbody bag. It’s crafted from a recycled canvas material with a webbing strap, making it a lightweight, comfortable and more sustainable choice.

It’s detailed with everything you need to keep your daily essentials secure while sightseeing. Slip pockets? Press-stud fastenings? A key chain? Check, check, check. And, if you want to switch it up, the strap can be easily tucked away at the back so it can be carried as a hand-held pouch, too.

The padded sandals

No holiday wardrobe is complete without a pair of all-day-every-day sandals. Crafted with comfort in mind, they feature crossover webbing straps and extra-soft soles made with Bloom Algae Foam™ – an innovative material to replace conventional rubber. Why algae? It collects CO2 and acts like a natural carbon sink to help clean and restore the environment. Comfortable and conscious – now, that’s what we call a win-win.

The baseball cap has long been a warm-weather hero, offering that much-needed protection when you’re out all day in the sun. Engineered to keep you cool, it’s crafted from a lightweight recycled material with a jersey sweatband and embroidered eyelets for added breathability.

Finished in a crisp shade of cream with a minimal five-panel profile, this is a cap to count on for many holiday seasons to come.
