H&M results: sales and profits down but CEO talks of progress, COS is strong
Gross profit was SEK58.59 billion, down from SEK61.2 billion with a gross margin of 52.3%, down from 54%. Operating profit dropped to SEK7.11 billion from SEK9.17 billion and net profit fell to SEK4.54 billion from almost SEK 6.3 billion. Despite the fairly anaemic results, CEO Daniel Ervér talked of 'progress' in key areas and said that 'our plan, with its focus on the product offering, the shopping experience and brand, is again confirmed by the progress we see. The positive development in important areas such as online, H&M womenswear and H&M Move, as well as continued focus on good cost control, will contribute to a profitable sales development.' Unusually, given that H&M rarely mentions its other brands in such results announcements, he said: 'Portfolio brands also grew in the quarter and COS has developed particularly well. Some measures have a faster impact than others, but the direction is clear and during the year we continue to implement improvements in other parts of the business.' He sees further reasons for optimism with actions such as the company opening its first stores and offering online shopping in Brazil (a country with a population of more than 200 million) early in the second half as a prime example of positive developments. The CEO also said that the Q2 figures need to be seen in the light on Q2 in 2024 being particularly strong so the comparisons have got tougher.

If You're Only Buying One More Pair Of Linen Trousers This Summer, Make It This One
By now, you've probably heard plenty about the best linen trousers on the sartorial scene, from COS to H&M and Arket. But we're here to make the case for one more pair - not just because they've been spotted on fashion's It-girls (which they have), but because they're incredibly practical and endlessly versatile. And when balmy temperatures make wearing your favourite jeans feel near impossible, you'll be glad to have them on standby. Let us introduce you to Abercrombie & Fitch's Linen-Blend Pull-On Pant - the ultimate blend of elevated minimalism and easygoing summer cool. You're probably wondering what sets these linen trousers apart from the countless others lining the high street. Not only is the cut and drape great (delivering that effortless, elevated silhouette), but they also come in playful, trendy prints that offer a welcome departure from the muted tones and clean lines of other minimalist versions. From a graphic criss-cross gingham to a coastal-cool seashell motif, they're exactly the kind of effortlessly cool staple you'd spot on the fashion set lounging in Positano or wandering the streets of Palma. 1. Linen-Blend Pull-On Pant - Gingham While styling these boldly patterned trousers might seem like a challenge at first, they actually slot seamlessly into a capsule wardrobe. Think perfect white tees, crisp button-downs, or a simple tank (COS has an extensive offering of ribbed tanks) for that easy breezy feel. Alternatively, when temperatures peak, consider pairing them with a bikini top for that off-duty model edge; an excellent choice for all-inclusive alfresco dining or poolside lounging, especially when styled with oversized sunglasses and delicate gold jewellery. If, however, you're leaning toward a more minimalist approach, opt for the black or brown iterations instead. They offer the perfect base for experimenting with printed tops and statement blouses - no fear of clashing necessary. For footwear, sandals are non-negotiable, and to stay firmly on trend, make it a toe-ring pair. But snap these trousers up fast - the white and blue striped versions are already practically out of stock. 2. Linen-Blend Pull-On Pant - Black Sleek, timeless and endlessly versatile, Abercrombie's black linen trousers are the kind of summer staple you'll reach for on repeat. 3. Linen-Blend Pull-On Pant - Seashell Equal parts playful and polished, this seashell-print pair are perfect for beachside strolls, sunset dinners, and everything in between. 4. Linen-Blend Pull-On Pant - Brown Understated but far from boring, this rich brown pair is the versatile neutral you'll reach for time and time again.

Cat Deeley's red mini dress is the ideal summer staple and it's from the high street
Cat Deeley's red mini dress is the ideal summer staple and it's from the high street Cat Deeley wore a stunning halter neck mini dress to host This Morning Cat Deeley wearing the red mini dress from Cos (Image: Instagram/CatDeeley ) Last summer's tomato girl aesthetic may have been all the rage in 2024, but Cat Deeley seems to be reviving the trend with her This Morning wardrobe. The presenter has sported the warm, vibrant colour on three separate occasions since her half-term return to the show, most recently in a stylish ensemble from one of Instagram's favourite 'cool girl' brands. The 48-year-old turned heads last week when she showed off her legs in a striking red halterneck mini dress from COS, a sister brand to high street favourite H&M. Priced at £85, the Fluid Halterneck Mini Dress is predicted to be a popular choice for summer events, especially after being seen on the fashionable mother-of-two. The A-line dress features a chic draped neckline with elongated ties at the back - and includes side seam pockets for all your essentials. It offers a relaxed fit that flatters the tummy area, and is made from a TENCEL Lyocell blend, a fabric renowned for its softness and breathability, making it a top pick for warm weather wardrobes. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter The dress is as comfortable as it is stylish, however its size range is somewhat limited, only available in sizes 4-16. In contrast, M&S's red mini shift dress comes in sizes 6-24 and is available in three lengths, costing customers just £29.50, reports Belfast Live. Fashion enthusiasts may be drawn to this COS piece, particularly as we've struggled to find anything similar online. While Cat paired hers with nude strappy heels, COS suggests kitten heels and sculptural jewellery for a more sophisticated look. However, it might prove difficult to dress down this outfit for casual events - perhaps pairing it with flats and a denim jacket is as relaxed as it can get. Cat seems to have developed a liking for this shade of red recently. Earlier this month, she wore Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39, teamed with ME + EM's Ultra High Waist Wide-Leg Trouser in the orangey-red trousers. She has also worn these Flowing trousers with darts for £99.95 from Massimo Dutti, allowing them to take centre stage by pairing them with a simple white tee. A mini dress is also a staple in Cat's wardrobe. Back in May, the presenter looked ready for summer in a Yellow Bow Embellished Mini Dress. Despite appearing designer and fitting seamlessly with Cat's high-end personal style, the dress is actually from high-street favourite River Island, priced at £75. Article continues below But it's her little red number that feels like an early contender for the must-have summer outfit. So, for anyone wanting to grab it before it sells out, shoppers can find it on the COS website here.

Cougar activity prompts closure of Whistler bike park trails
Mountain biking in Whistler is a popular activity for the first official day of summer but that's not the case this weekend. A large portion of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park was closed due to cougar activity in the area. The BC Conservation Officer Service says it received 'information about two separate incidents at approximately 7 p.m. Friday night, involving one or more cougars,' a statement reads.

In another incident, a mountain biker was approached by a cougar but ran off when other bikers arrived — though the big cat stayed in the area. No one was injured during these incidents. Story continues below advertisement The COS says, as a precaution, the creekside and garbonzo zones of the bike park will be closed Saturday and Sunday. 'In consultation with Whistler Blackcomb, partial closures of the park are in effect to ensure public safety. For information on closures, visit the park website,' a statement reads. This closure comes just a week after BC Parks had to close a popular trail near Garibaldi Lake after hikers had a close encounter with a cougar just off Rubble Creek trail. That trail is roughly 20 kilometres away from the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
