5 Colour Trends COS Is Backing This Winter
On my fortnightly mooch around my local COS store, I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I usually aren't, as it's definitely one of my most-loved high street stores, but I was pleased to see so much colour. After all, winter in renowned for favouring darker hues. As I walked around, I saw pops of purple that reminded me of 'the purple one' in a box of Quality Street (yes Xmas chocs are firmly on my mind), and then, I spotted a shade I really wasn't expecting—lime green. Updating everything from cosy knitwear, midi dresses and bucket hats, I have to say, I'm quite the fan. And although I've fully embraced pink in all its glory this year, I glided right past these items in favour of the fresh new colours.

Don't get me wrong, though, I'm also all for the more typical wintery vibe that comes with grey, camel, brown and of course, black. It's only a few weeks ago Francesa Saffari made me want a camel suit after she wore a COS style on Instagram. And I'm obsessed with a cord suit (you'll have to keep scrolling to see which colour it is) that I tried on in-store.
No matter your style, I bet you'll be inspired to try out these 5 colours COS (and I are) are backing for the winter months.
1. Purple
2. Camel
3. Lime Green
4. Cobalt
5. Grey
