I was at an event in Nolita on Tuesday, and for the first time in a long time, I was compelled to actually stop and ask someone where their sweater was from. I braced myself to hear Khaite, Toteme, or another spendy brand, but instead, I was *delighted* to be told that she'd picked it up on a whim at COS that very afternoon. The vibe was that it had happened completely unexpectedly, almost against her will. "But it's just so weighty and soft!" she said and insisted I touch her arm. It had the hallmarks of a much more expensive knit, we solemnly agreed as immediate friends.
If the question is whether I could bop into COS on any given day and find a truly solid purchase to wear on repeat all season long, it's never a no. I live dangerously close to the COS store in Williamsburg, which makes walking home down the south side of North 6th Street risky business. You can imagine how it went when I popped by yesterday in the name of research. I'm proud to report that I fulfilled my editorial duties and have identified all the best winter fashion the brand has in stock right now for you to enjoy scrolling and shopping at your leisure. Did I also arrive home with a new knit? Again, not no. In my defense, she was right—it is very soft.
The sweater had me interrupting a stranger. It's the side profile that got me.
The perfect satin pants to pair with my new knit.
Faux-snakeskin accessories are really growing on me. If I bought a belt last week, is it too soon for a bag?
This is an *excellent* pullover.
You can't go wrong with burgundy accessories.
A great LBD to pair with the pumps above.
I highly recommend clicking in to see the chic detail at the back.
This pic doesn't do the sleeves justice.
But have we considered the delight that is a fringe wool coat?
The only thing better than wearing this chic cape is knowing you got it on sale.
These are ideal everyday ankle boots. If you're thinking, "Man, these heels would be perfect as a knee-high style…"
…You'd be right!
A sweater that says she's ready for the holidays.
This neckline—no, this whole outfit—is very Carven-esque.
I'm really into these earrings. A little soft pink pairs so beautifully with burgundy.
Just here for a laptop-friendly tote with a good, thick shoulder strap.
Also here for this quirky little guy.
If your bag is decidedly not quirky, this charm brings some personality.
Love imperfect jewelry in all shapes and forms.
Extremely chic, good silhouette.
This belt looks designer IRL.
Not enough "nice" coats have hoods. I will die on this hill.
These are going to sell out immediately.
Okay, let's do some great black winter dresses real quick. This may as well be designer.
A great neckline and a little corset detail really go a long way.
How much do we love a machine-washable dress?
This is just a little bigger than it needs to be, which is the perfect size.
Everyone's favorite quilted crossbody now comes in an on-trend leopard print.
Just quietly perfect.
The exact long-sleeve tee to layer underneath.
It's so windy and chilly today in NYC, and $67 to wrap my head in cashmere honestly sounds like a great deal.
I'll leave you here with this perfect scarf.
