I Just Bought All My 2025 Capsule Wardrobe Staples in COS's Amazing New Sale

I don’t know about you, but when one year draws to a close and another begins, I always get the urge to have a wardrobe sort out. New year, more organised me. It just seems like the perfect time to take stock of pieces I haven’t worn throughout the year to donate, and identify any gaps that could really do with filling. It also means that once you have an idea of the pieces you’d like to invest in going into the year ahead— a crisp white shirt maybe, or a perfect blazer—you can then find them in the Christmas sales for less.
This is exactly what I just did, specifically with the COS winter sale—and let me tell you, I found so many amazing staples that will bolster my capsule wardrobe in 2025. We all know how great COS is for those reliable yet elevated high-street heroes that you actually wear on repeat—from basic T-shirts and easy dresses to excellent quality knits and coats. Classics are what the brand does best, but sometimes the prices can creep up for their best pieces. Both of these things make it the perfect destination for shopping when it goes into sale, and right now COS currently has up to 50% off.

Personal highlights (and the items that found their way into my recent order) include the long black scarf coat (I've been desperately in need of a genuinely warm coat for a while), these chic wide-leg jeans to wear with a blazer and heeled boots for work, and the iconic crossbody bag which I know I’ll wear so much no matter the season. I can also personally recommend the brand's popular wide leg trousers and this designer-looking, trendy short trench that comes with a detachable hood—both styles I bought earlier in this year and have been wearing on repeat ever since.
Whether you’ve found time for a wardrobe sort out yet or not, it’s unlikely you’ll regret any of these wardrobe staples in the COS winter sale below. Keep scrolling to see my edit of the best pieces…
