Shopping: A Few Things on our List for Summertime

In the golden hours of autumn, when sunlight slants through branches at just the right angle, the world takes on a burnished glow. Virginia Woolf once observed that “autumn seems to cry for a million golden quills to paint it”. Indeed, it’s a season that gilds everything it touches—from the last lingering leaves to the quiet sophistication of a perfectly tailored camel coat in the crisp morning air.

IN THE quiet of autumn evenings, as twilight paints the sky in shades of lavender and gold, there’s a palpable shift in the air. It’s not just the crisper temperatures or the earlier sunsets, but a change in the very rhythm of life. Colette once wrote, “Autumn is the season of nostalgia, of memory, of looking back”. Yet it’s also a time of subtle anticipation, of cocooning ourselves in preparation for what’s to come.

As autumn descends, the air grows crisp and the world transforms into a canvas of amber and gold. This fleeting season, with its gentle decay and whispered promises of renewal, invites introspection.

AS THE CRISP air ushers in a new season, the fashion world undergoes its perennial metamorphosis, breathing life into our wardrobes with fresh inspiration.

With only eleven days left in August, our attention is (reluctantly) shifting to fall fashion, and one brand we’ve been particularly drawn to lately is COS (Collection of Style). This season, the brand’s designs seem to echo the aesthetic of high-end label The Row, known for its refined minimalism.

In the most recent instalment of our weekly newsletter, we shared these Pleated Barrel-Leg Chinos, and they were so popular, we thought we might post them here as well.
