I Just Assembled 5 Chic and Cosy Winter Outfits Entirely From COS

One of the best things about entering into a new season is new season shopping, and new shopping means the potential for some great new outfits. There's nothing I love more than putting together fresh looks with some of the high street's very best pieces, and as a stylist turned shopping editor, it combines two of my favourite things: assembling outfits and getting to share with them you, dear reader. And may I say, this winter has outdone itself as being one of the most inspiring yet. 

From the year's unexpected smash hit–the balaclava, to the boots we'll inevitably be wearing for many more winters to come, this season has given us a lot of notable moments, and it just so happens that you can shop them all at COS. The brand's winter collection landed on site with a bang after showcasing its first runway show in New York a couple of months ago, and I've been obsessed with its excellent shopping options ever since.

From the tailored trouser-and-jumper combination that'll take you seamlessly from work into the weekend, to the cold-weather accessories bound to sell out by Christmas, keep scrolling to see the five COS winter outfits I'd very much like to wear this month (and the next).

1. THE WOOL COAT + MIDI SKIRT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

Style Notes: Simple but effective, COS always gets seasonal colour palettes right, and layering up in shades of brown and cream with gold and black accents makes this look feel instantly expensive.

2. THE STRIPED JUMPER + WIDE-LEG TROUSERS + BALLET FLATS

Style Notes: We were stripey jumper obsessed this year, but in a sea of monochrome crew-necks only the few that sported clever attention to detail managed to grab our attention. Bell sleeves, turtlenecks, oversized and zip-up jumpers came in first, and when paired with tailored trousers and polished ballet pumps, you've got a comfy casual look that still manages to feel fresh.

3. THE CARDIGAN + CHECK TROUSERS + KITTEN-HEEL SLINGBACKS

Style Notes: If there were two items we didn't expect to see make a fashionable comeback in the last couple of years, it would be the cardigan and the kitten heel. Both dismissed to the back of the wardrobe after being declared "grandma wear," we have the likes of Khaite, Miu Miu and Prada to thank for putting a sexy spin on the "cutesy" wardrobe staples, making them A-list favourites and cool-girl must-haves in the process.

4. THE KNIT DRESS + CHUNKY BOOTS + LEATHER GLOVES

Style Notes: If you need an outfit that you can wear in the pub, out on winter walks, running errands, and even coffee with friends, your wardrobe needs a knit dress. You'll be just as comfortable snuggled up at home as you are preparing for a day in the office in a soft, wool turtleneck. Just add a thick coat and a sturdy pair of boots as soon as its time to venture outside.

5. THE FAUX-FUR COAT + THE SLIP DRESS + METALLIC HEELS

Style Notes: Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can't go all out for the evening. In fact, why not make a coat the star of the show? A simple slip dress is the perfect base for statement outerwear, and metallic heels will help bring the look to life. Bring on party season.
