We Are All in Agreement: This COS Dress Is a High-Street Highlight
As a team of editors with wide-ranging tastes and fashion preferences, it's not often that we unanimously adore one particular item of clothing. But last summer, high-street hero COS only went and delivered a dress so chic that we couldn't help but communally fall in love with it. And guess what. It's back.
Coming in a summer-ready light pink and a more trans-seasonal dark forest green (a great alternative to more traditional neutrals such as black and brown, FYI) and boasting a dramatic gathered neckline and voluminous puffed sleeves, this dress packs plenty of drama, yet thanks to its roomy silhouette, you know it'll be super easy to throw on at a moment's notice.
I've even sent the link to quite a few friends who have been looking for a wedding guest dress, and as you can see on the model below, it looks so fab with strappy heels. However, I have no doubt that it would look equally as cool for the weekend with chunky boots or even pretty sandals (similar to how Emma's styled it below), a crossbody bag and maybe even a waist-cinching belt, if you're so inclined. All of this for under £80? Yes, please. Scroll down to shop COS's hero dress, and see similar styles.
