It’s fair to say that men are not as well served on the high street in terms of clothes – especially when it comes to those looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.

But that’s where Cos, which has its flagship store in Glasgow’s Princes Square, comes in.

As always, this summer the stylish Swedish brand offers something a little bit different. The clothes are sophisticated, with classic lines and ideas worked in unexpected ways. And with the weather still mild, it’s all about lightweight layers in casual tailoring and neutral-toned jerseys in loose silhouettes.

So, whether it’s a relaxed barbeque in the garden or a hipster wedding reception at a country house, the summer collection has something cool and accessible.

So, if he’s feeling confident – and if he’s got the legs for it - why not persuade him to ditch the trousers in favour of a pair of smart shorts? You’d be amazed how smart they can look with the right accessories.
