- The Editors at Men's Health  Confession: I don’t usually sport activewear beyond the gym. I’m that guy who changes clothes about three times a day—a carefully curated ‘fit for the office, an all-black workout uniform for an EOD sweat sesh, and a loungewear ensemble at home. Then 2020 happened and I wore the same pair of running shorts for a month (er, six…)! I promised myself to step up my WFH style this fall, but I’m still spending a lot of time at home, and something about the “socially-distant outdoor gathering” doesn’t lend itself to breaking out your Sunday best. So as soon as I heard that one of my favorite brands, COS, was launching an activewear line, the hype was real.
The COS Active collection is your ticket to dressing well this season. It is, first and foremost, serious performance gear. Yet it is also cool, casual and sophisticated enough to wear anywhere. The pieces work just as well when integrated with your casual day-to-day duds as they do when paired together for sport. Take the half-zip short-sleeved pullover jacket, for instance. It pairs with any of the bottoms from the collection, but the oversized fit and boxy sleeves make it a perfect top layer over a long-sleeve tee or rugby shirt with chinos. This collection is ideal for every occasion this fall, whether you’re working from home, working out, at a casual meet up with your friends, or trekking through the great outdoors.
