Chic, Easy, Effortless, and Under $300—This Brand Is So Underrated
As the sole fashion-industry member of most of my friend groups, I get asked a lot of questions. Out of all the requests that I get, the one I hear the most just so happens to be related to the workplace wardrobe. Despite most of us being catapulted into the era of working from home, there's still a need to dress for that big interview, pitch meeting, or team reunion, which may be over Zoom. And the reason why my friends come to me is that they don't want to break the bank, and I know all the sites that can help you look good on a budget.
This is why I almost always send them to COS. The entire site is heaven for anyone who is looking to build upon their wardrobe staples and add a few more. Pretty much every item can be worn in an infinite number of ways, and versatility is the number one thing that I look for when it comes to fashion—that and impeccable style. I find COS's pieces to be so wearable, and everything I've purchased from the brand has matched the quality of the designer pieces that hang in my closet. If the look you're going for is super luxe on a budget, like my friends, I know exactly where I'm sending you—straight to the 32 spring-friendly picks below. Enjoy.
If you haven't had the chance to invest in a good suit yet, the pieces of this one look just as good as separates as they does together.
Shop the matching Wide-Leg Tailored Trousers ($150).
If you don't know what to wear, a dress like this will erase all of your problems.
Layer this oversize tee with a button-down and blazer and you'll discover the power that comes with a pop of color.
Rain boots are a must come spring, and these are available in black too.
I just had a vision of how I'd style this jacket, and now, I think I need it.
I gravitate toward heavyweight fabrics when looking for transitional-weather T-shirts.
If the bold green that everyone is wearing is too much for your workplace, this dress is a subtler approach.
I will never move on from how good the brand's button-down shirts are.
I can't get over how good the subtle sheerness of this turtleneck is.
