I Spent the Morning Scouring COS and Zara's New Arrivals—These Under-$200 Finds Caught My Eye
If you’re looking for the online-shopping equivalent of a double feature, there's always COS followed by Zara. I decided to spend the morning scrolling through both of their new arrivals sections, and everything I found is under $200.
At COS, the $45 Clean Cut T-Shirt doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but I could see this becoming a reliable go-to if you’re looking for a new plain t-shirt. The Cropped-Sleeve Merino Wool Polo Shirt also stood out (I can’t resist a slightly preppy polo). I love all of the merino wool pieces COS carries, including the Tailored Merino Wool-Blend Mini Dress. When I scrolled past the Chenille Mock-Neck Vest, I was reminded of the enduring power of a sleeveless mock neck (I'm such a fan of these). Another favorite is the Curved A-Line Midi Skirt.
Over at Zara, I spotted Amelia Grey modeling the Short Polka Dot Tie Dress and the Short Batwing Sleeve Combination Dress. A few other standouts included the if-I-wore-orange Fine Knit Wool Jumper and the Asymmetric Midi Dress. Below, shop all of the finds that caught my eye.
