If your summer wardrobe is stacked with minimalist summer dresses and elevated basics that feel timeless yet current, chances are you're well acquainted with COS. A fashion editor's go-to, the high street label has a knack for delivering chic staples that effortlessly slide into your wardrobe rotation and look much more expensive than they are. One standout that's simply too good to gatekeep? The Gathered Cotton Top, which, if you've been religiously scrolling through the minimalist label's website lately, will look familiar to its gathered waist midi dress that was inescapable on social media this spring.

Boasting the same gathered waist detail as the bestselling dress, the gathered cotton top offers a similar understated versatility. Made from lightweight cotton, it'll keep you cool and polished, while the gathered bodice injects just the right amount of volume and movement to elevate a simple silhouette. It’s no surprise, then, that the style set has already snapped it up, and judging by how quickly it's been selling, we'd suggest you snag one as soon as possible, too.

Chocolate brown is surprisingly popular this summer, and this breezy cotton top is perfect for the balmy months, making it an essential suitcase staple.

If you loved COS’ Gathered Midi, this top is the natural next step, striking the perfect balance between polished style and versatile, mix-and-match ease. Styling this top is extremely simple – whether you dress it up with a black satin maxi skirt (or silk, if the budget permits) or wide-leg tailored trousers, and a pair of pointed-toe mules. For off-duty looks, let the top take centre stage by pairing it with straight-leg jean shorts and cowboy boots for a hint of western charm, or swap in retro trainers for a streetwear twist on a feminine staple.

The stocks are already thinning on the COS top, so best not to wait. The best part? It’s made to last, so you can be sure it'll deliver timeless style season after season.
