Forget Burgundy—COS Has Declared *This* the It Color to Wear for Fall

Fall typically brings to mind colors such as burgundy, dark brown, and emerald green. These hues have long been synonymous with the season, evoking warmth and comfort, much like a pumpkin spice latte, and reflecting the changing of the leaves. However, for fall 2025, a fresh shade is competing for a spot as an It color, and COS is on board: powder pink.
This week, COS dropped its pre-fall collection, which features a curated selection of elegant barn jackets, barrel-leg jeans, pencil skirts, loafers, suede coats, and tailored trousers. While most silhouettes are available in browns, blacks, and navys, an array of powder-pink pieces stands out, providing a soft pop of color for those who aren't afraid to deviate from timeless neutrals.
This dusty pink shade was seen all over the spring 2026 runway collections (think Alaïa, Miu Miu, and Khaite); however, that doesn't mean it's saying goodbye after September 22, the last day of summer. So if you're inspired to add this color to your new-season wardrobe with one or two pieces, keep scrolling because we're sharing those finds along with other chic new arrivals from COS.
