Most of us like to dress up at Christmas – but that doesn’t automatically have to mean fussy fashion. And the chances are those who like understated design based on quality fabrics and clean lines already make Cos their first port of call.

The Swedish firm’s flagship Scottish store is in Princes Square, offering a light and airy showcase for the clothes, which are beautifully arranged in colour groups with matching pieces to help you choose the right look.

So if you’re looking for something different this festive season, give Cos a try. Simplicity doesn’t have to mean dull, as the store’s autumn and winter collection highlights. Among the key pieces are two shimmery designs in quality fabric that are bound to turn heads at any party – the copper Foxes dress at £90 and the Roxanne foiled dress at £89. The beautiful gold shimmer top at £60 is also a stand-out piece, and could be easily matched with tailored trousers or jeans.

Cos is also renowned for its modern jewellery designs and this season’s collection is no exception – the black necklace at £39 is particularly eye-catching.
