So Many Timeless Staples Are Selling Out in COS’s Sale—These Are Worth Checking Out
When it comes to discount shopping, it's easy to be swept up in the deals and excitement of saving a few pounds. It's definitely happened to me. But the COS sales change that. With considered pieces, timeless styles and smart wardrobe additions, we're counting down the days to COS's next Black Friday sale launch.
What Should I Buy in the COS Black Friday sale?
Few high-street brands are able to create pieces as elevated and affordable as COS. The retailer balances timeless items that will work hard in your wardrobe and fashion-forward styles that prove COS keeps up with the changing trends. Lucky for us, and our wardrobes, the sale consists of a curated selection of classic staples to invest in now and wear year after year. You’ve probably heard us talk about capsule wardrobe pieces that are the foundations required to build easy outfit combinations, and the COS sale has all the necessities.
On Black Friday, you might want to consider adding the brand's high-quality basics to your wardrobe, like the beloved Clean Cut T-Shirt. As we're well into winter, this is prime time to invest in a great coat to see you through the colder months, year after year. The brand is also known for tailoring, so crisp tailored trousers and blazers are always on our editor's wish lists. Plus, the brand's denim has quickly become a fashion person's favourite.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday weekend is an annual sale shopping event that originated in the US. It marks the end of Thanksgiving and the start of the festive shopping season, resulting in the majority of well-known—and even, in recent years, smaller—brands and retailers heading into a period sale for a full four days.

COS' crossbody is beloved by fashion editors, and for good reason. It's ergonomic design and sleek finish make it a no-brainer for day-to-day styling.
We consistently sing the praises of the brand's Clean Cut T-Shirt. I have it in plain white and wear it all the time, but I'm really thinking about shopping this chic striped style, too.
Trust me—these are some of the best tailored trousers on the high street.
A classic coat works hard in every wardrobe, and this rich charcoal shade will go with just about everything.
Low-waist jeans are a favourite within fashion circles and our editor's are raving about the brand's jeans.
Now is prime time to invest in sumptuous knitwear and this cosy beige knit offers warmth and style in equal measures.
Ready for you to layer up your knits underneath, a cosy scarf coat will insulated you against the harshest winter breeze.
Ballet flats continue to be a key style in any footwear collection, and this playful mesh version is bound to sell out.
I'm obsessed with the body-skimming design and elegant silhouette and this classic navy dress.
There's just something so elegant about a square toe and these are some of the chicest I've seen.
A wool skirt remains a winter staple and nothing screams elegance like the heavy weight style from COS.
COS' popular knee-high boots also come in this elegant burgundy shade. I'll be reaching for these to add an easy wash of colour to my winter wardrobe.
The definition of an elevated staple. Style this with denim for the day-to-day or pair with a chic wool skirt for an elevated take.
This fashion person-favourite now comes in faux fur!
Scarf detailing is undeniably elegant, and the detachable hood pushes this jacket over the top.
I'll be choosing this chic turtleneck dress over a cosy jumper for the rest of the season.
The shade feels so high end. Style this cinched in at the waist with the detachable belt or let is hang loose for a comfortable fit.
The exaggerated-shoulder detail adds to the elegant appeal, and Black Friday is the perfect time to shop such a wardrobe staple.
It's hard to overstate the elegance of this chic blue blouse, but I think it's one of the most special pieces on the market right now.
COS bags never disappoint and this clutch will look lo great with all your festive party outfits.
The layered detailing makes this look so much more expensive than it actually is.
A knit dress with a directional feel to it. Dress this down with slouchy boots or pair it with tights and pointed toe heels for an elevated take.
I'm very into the oversized crossbody trend and in this neutral colour and easy material, it's just perfect.
Wide leg jeans are a wardrobe hero that will never go out of style, and these might just be the perfect everyday jean.
This will dress up any of your denim outfits. While it looks great sans jewels, I think this will come to life with a bold silver earring.
Comfy and chic and so very practical. I reach for navy trousers more often than black.
Every wardrobe needs an easy dress to dress up or down at will.
A versatile purchase you'll never regret—just ask any fashion editor.
The fringed collar is such a unique touch—you'd never believe it's from a high street label.
COS shows once again that it's a master at understated elegance. I've seen few bags chicer than this.
A classic English style, I predict that pea coats will be one of the hero silhouettes for the rest of the winter seasons.
This pair ticks both relaxed and smart boxes. Wear it was a t-shirt for relaxed daily style or pair it with a button-down for an ultra-sleek silhouette.
I own this and wear it constantly—and everyone is surprised when I tell them it's from the high street.
You'll fit so much into this crossbody bag, and the quilted composition gives it such a playful energy.
A camel coat will serve you well in the colder months, and the detachable hood sets this apart from the rest.
I'm officially a silver jewellery person, and I really love the shape of these.
Our acting affiliate editor has tried this on, and loves the way it fits. If cobalt blue isn't your colour, then note that this also comes in black.
This will go with so many outfits, day and night—a truly versatile buy.
The pearl jewellery trend has taken over my jewellery box this season.
