COS unveils summer collection
FOR SUMMER 2026 COS presents a wardrobe shaped by the spirit of the French Riviera. Refined silhouettes and softly tailored forms are crafted from fluid fabrics and light textures. A clean, pared-back color palette defines the season, anchored in monochrome dressing. Subtle variations of pearlescent white and warm cream tones are enriched through materiality and texture, including delicate pleats, broderie anglaise and scallop detailing. Shades of blue, dusky pink and rose-tinted hues serve as understated accents, complemented by earthy clay, terracotta, and khaki tones. The women鈥檚 wear collection includes matching sets in rich fabrics and elegant silhouettes. Dresses feature boucl茅 fringe details and sheer panels. Summer shorts are reinterpreted in preppy knitted sets and soft satin, while trousers explore a new lightness in silk and linen. Menswear balances functionality and elevated design, through relaxed cuts and lightweight fabrics centered on effortless versatility. One finds modern, unstructured silhouettes across shirts, trousers and coordinated sets, while workwear-inspired details and softly sculptural knitwear introduce texture. Completing the collection, swimwear is defined by graphic black and white designs that channel modern minimalism, complemented by sunglasses with a nostalgic sensibility. Womenswear accessories include a woven bag alongside shoes in supple leather and suede. Menswear introduces woven leather sandals. Selected styles are available online and in selected COS stores, with additional arrivals throughout the season.

Dry shampoos to combat oily hair
NO LONGER a niche product, dry shampoo has now become a staple in many beauty routines. It is a convenient way to manage oil, add volume, and extend the time between washes. Both international and local brands are stepping up with formulations designed to suit different hair types, preferences, and lifestyles. Among the newer entries in the category, Hello Glow Dry Shampoo has gained attention for its ability to refresh hair without leaving a visible white or powdery residue. Traditional dry shampoos can sometimes appear chalky: Hello Glow absorbs excess oil while keeping hair looking clean and natural. Batiste Dry Shampoo is a widely recognized global brand. It remains a staple for its strong oil absorption and ability to add volume at the roots. Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk is known for its gentle formulation, and is often preferred by those with sensitive scalps. Its lightweight finish helps minimize buildup, making it suitable for more frequent use.
