For Spring Summer 2017, COS is honoring its Scandinavian origins with a sleek and minimalist collection. As usual, the brand favors comfort and structural lines to create timeless "with a twist", which will be worn well beyond a season.

The cuts are made with mid-season XXL coats and oversize sleeveless kimonos, while deconstructed lines create graphic dresses and skirts. The fallen is straight, the size marked, and the discrete transparent keys.

If the collection remains sober, audacity is nonetheless present. The claw dares the long tunic, between transparency and golden brown, worn over a straight dress with white sneakers. A khaki dress with architectural lines and bare shoulder imposes as much as it intimidates. What would a COS collection be without a neutral color palette? White, khaki, navy, sky blue, beige and brick still stand out as the favorite colors of the Swedish brand. The silver metallic makes a shy appearance by slipping on a bomber and a skirt of the collection.

Minimalism requires, accessories are discreet. Pouches are preferred to handbags and gold plated earrings or rings embellish the outfits. Side shoes, basketball leather, white or black, goes with everything.

Available from March 2017, the collection soothes and seduces as much by its basics as its strong pieces. Desirable, then.
