Don’t panic! This is a ‘new year, new me’-free zone, but I’ve just been served a fresh drop of COS active wear that I thought I’d share. COS positions its COS Active* collection (quite cleverly) as ‘designed for everyday movement’, thus taking it out of pure gym-speak.
As well as Lycra fare, there are Prada Sport-esque windbreakers*, some interesting quilted capes*, oversized hoodies* and boxy sweats*. Just the thing for the restricted Lockdown 2.0 walkabout, no? (more…)
After overindulging in 90s trash movies, toasted Panettone and lashings of brandy cream, it’s time for a palate cleanse. Here’s mine: The Row SS21.

New e-commerce discovery of heritage-y staples with a mix of classic brands (Margaret Howell cable knits!) and expertly selected vintage finds.
The Plain Goods site and accompanying Connecticut store are run by interior designer Michael DePerno and fashion brand manager, Andrew Fry, and they shoot all the campaigns locally themselves.
Current faves: their own line of men’s Shetland knitwearwear and these Martiniano loafers – such a cool take on the old school penny.
Browse at your peril….
