Is this outfit peak Cos?

[SamanthaBrique]

I'm not sure I could convince any of the men in my life to wear this...

OMG. Cos. I find it astonishing they sell anything off their website: some kind of weird reverse marketing maybe? Some of my very nicest clothes have come from Cos although they do make it as hard as possible to find them.

Funnily enough I was in a Cos store the other day and saw this kilt from one side and I thought "nice grey skirt, could work for winter" and then realised it was on a male mannequin AND missing the other side!

It’s described as “a distinct piece” 😂

Looks like something from Star Wars...

I kind of like it but you would have to have a very distinct look. Your average jeans polo shirt wearing man would be horrified.

I am no man but I kind of like it too. I can see it having potential (for women) layered over another pleated skirt with a different width pleat or worn over a leather skirt that's about half the length of that and black opaques to really play with the negative space aspect of it.

Men who like a bit of Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, and Gareth Pugh would probably not be phased by it and embrace it, wear it with chunky boots and grotty leggings and a holey jumper. Granted they're a small group but they do tend shop at my local Cos a lot.

It's a lot of money to wear with grotty leggings now... Also, if it doesn't stay put but works it's way around your body you'd be wearing an apron half the time. I admit I am a little boring and am a little too fond of functionality, but this just seems like an annoying item of clothing to me. There's just a little bit too little skirt there for me to get it?

out of stock now

currently trying to convince DH to buy a jumpsuit from Cos but I might draw the line at this one!

Zinnia I think I prefer the half kilt to the jumpsuits actually! I am nothing if not fickle and hypocritical

I love Cos, but that's a fantastic description, Evilpostbox

I like the look of that

But no way would my DH ever wear anything like it. He's just not "cool" enough And now it's sold out, I look forward to seeing it in real life, although probably not in my provincial home counties town!

Lol @ "peak Cos" 🤣

I'm enraged it includes a hidden pocket. If it was a womens full skirt it wouldn't.

Half a kilt? A jumpsuit that looks like it has simultaneously expanded and shrunk in the wash? Sometimes I wonder who on Earth wears that stuff. Even my Swedish friends are not Swedish enough to walk around like that!

Ha! I'm a sucker for weird Cos clothes but I don't think I could persuade dh to wear this.

Only if he was going to murder someone in a b movie.

You don’t even get the trousers with it! What a rip off!

I missed the pocket. I take it all back then, it's a functional garment and then it's pretty cool.

if a dystopian dictatorship ever rises to power, they will buy their uniforms from COS.

It’s like half a school skirt

I showed DH and he, legit, thought it was a Star Wars fancy dress costume.

I reckon it could look cool though, on someone a bit quirky.

But, yes, I think we have reached peak Cos here.
