For minimalist staples that are incredibly chic and bear a striking resemblance to pieces from quiet luxury brands - think The Row, for instance - COS should definitely be on your radar.
The elevated sister brand of H&M has made quite a name for itself in recent years, thanks to its ability to nail pared-back style that looks far more expensive than its budget-friendly high street price tag suggests.
For summer, the collection feels just as polished as ever, though this season it incorporates much more colour, perfect if you're looking to brighten up your warm weather wardrobe. As always, many pieces are crafted from genuinely excellent quality materials, including 100% linen.
Airy and lightweight, these designs are guaranteed fashion pack pleasers during the balmy months, and I predict plenty of them will sell out at record speed.
But it’s not just the linen offering that stands out. From classic regular cut dresses with subtle detailing to timeless shirts, my favourite has to be the bright cobalt blue style with a deep V neck, there are plenty of summer essentials to choose from.
Shop 7 of my top picks for the season ahead below. The best part? The quality of these pieces is unmatched, meaning you’ll wear them year after year, with no need for a complete wardrobe overhaul every summer.
