COS Is Already in Winter Mode and so Am I—19 Chic Coats That Have Already Impressed Me
Whether it's a belted, elevated dressing-gown style or one with pockets or a detachable scarf, COS is the destination for the chicest coats this season, and we want to show you our favourites. Scroll on to see the best COS coats available now.
When it comes to outerwear, you can never be too keen in your search for finding "the one." The fact is, coats are often the first items to start dropping in for autumn, so you have to be quick off the mark to secure the best styles. And you only have to look back at previous years for proof, that Totême scarf coat or The Frankie Shop's quilted iterations, for example, they've had to be restocked multiple times due to selling out as soon as they landed. And while we're all for an It coat, we also like to stick to the brands that consistently serve up timeless and stylish outerwear collections, and for this, we always head to COS.

With its clean aesthetic and fuss-free mantra, COS is, of course, a destination for minimalists. Excelling in everything from crisp shirting to love-forever knitwear to tailored trousers and coats, it's basically a one-stop shop for all your elevated basics. But with its mix of silhouettes and plethora of coloured and neutral iterations, it can be tricky to narrow the list down to just one COS coat we expect to see everywhere this season. So instead, we're going to show you 19 that have garnered the attention of every editor in our office. From the classic wool to shearling and scarf-detail styles (yes, they're still going strong), these are the COS coats catching our eye this season.
