Despite not being much of a minimalist for the majority of the year, I find that there's something about the full-on florals and floaty femininity of summer that has me reaching for the black midis and clean-lined tailoring the moment the mercury rises. As always, COS is my go-to for all things minimalist, and I've already invested in one of its oversized T-shirt dresses for the June heatwave, but I have to say that the brand's latest accessory edit has also piqued my interest.
I generally like to keep things simple in the accessory department, sticking to neutral colourways and versatile silhouettes, so naturally, I'm spoilt for choice with COS's new-season edit. These are the sort of accessories that will look fab in summer in the city but can be easily adapted for balmy beach holidays whenever we can finally travel again.
From the oversized tote bag that will (almost) fit your whole life and the wear-with-everything chain necklace to the chic knotted leather belt and Celine-inspired summer cap, I've paired five of my favourite accessories with five minimalist summer outfits that will appeal to any lover of clean-lined style. Scroll down to see what COS accessories I'm buying this season.
