I Asked My Most Stylish Colleague What She's Buying From COS—She Immediately Sent Me These 9 Chic Buys
From perfectly cut coats to sculptural knits, these are the COS pieces stylish insiders are snapping up for the season ahead.
If you ask me, few high-street brands do winter quite as well as COS. There are plenty of collections worth browsing right now, but COS always manages to feel that bit more premium. The sharp cuts, the considered fabrics, the perfectly placed seam or drape—it’s all in the details. You can spot a COS piece instantly, and you’ll always wonder how it manages to look so effortless. So, when I asked my most polished colleague which brand she shops the most, her answer came before I’d even finished the question: “COS” she said. Of course she did.
She’s the colleague who arrives on a Tuesday morning wrapped in the perfect wool coat, wearing barrel-leg trousers that hang just so, and carrying an accessory that could easily pass for The Row. Her secret was hiding in plain sight—it was always COS. Yes, the price point sits slightly above Zara or its little sister, H&M, but you see every pound in the quality and design. COS pieces are thoughtful, timeless, and quietly luxurious—the kind of staples that elevate an entire wardrobe without shouting for attention.

Keep scrolling to shop—and prepare to want every single piece she sent.
