21 Stylish Buys From COS That Will See You Through Spring and Beyond
Sponsor Content Created With Cos
There's no brand quite like COS when it comes to treading that fine line between timeless classics and contemporary design. I know so many fashion editors who wear old items from the brand year after year that still feel fresh for every new season. Well, for spring 2021, COS most certainly holds onto its accolade of minimalist high-street hero, with a dreamy collection of transitional gems.
With our work and home lives becoming more blurred than ever, we need wardrobes that will flex and adapt to our shifting needs: be it sitting in front of a laptop in our living rooms, going for a walk around the local park, or simply popping out for a takeaway coffee at the weekend. We also want pieces that will also work when life returns to normal, and thankfully, COS knows how to pack plenty of polish via tailored separates, clean-lined silhouettes, and chic accessories.
So what should we expect from the spring collection? I am personally drawn to the brand's sculptural tailoring, which covers blazers, trousers, and shirting that are sure to give your basics a high-end finish. There's also an enviable colour palette, covering all your versatile neutrals, such as navy, black, cream, and beige, alongside pops of colour via tangerine, lemon, and sage green. Really, this is the place to go for expensive-looking spring style on the high street this season. Scroll down to see and shop my definitive spring edit.
