COS releases a minimalist activewear collection shortly after debuting its Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The pandemic has forced major fashion retailers to slow down and focus on the basics. As consumers continue to stay indoors and work from home, an increased need for versatile yet stylish pieces has become apparent.
Those who have used working out as a way to cope throughout the pandemic will be pleased with the new collection, as it features functional and comfortable pieces designed for movement. Some of the standouts from the line include the Seamless Performance Sports Bra and Leggings set, which was designed using a sustainable method of recycled nylon and polyester. The line also carries shorts, sports bras and more.
