The COS Flash Sale Is Here: 21 Spring Buys I Recommend

last updated 5 April 2024

I think we can all agree that COS is brilliant isn't it? I don't really know what we'd do without their excellent quality, affordable basics. Not to mention the versatile dresses and chic tailoring pieces—all of which are timeless enough to stay in our wardrobe rotation for years and years. I often get friends and styling clients coming to me asking how they can look rich, polished and classy without spending thousands and thousands on a designer wardrobe, and I always send them to COS.

So, on my daily scroll of our favourite sites I noticed a COS flash sale with up to 50%(!!!) off, I simply had to share. There's a number of spring-ready bargains to pick up, from vibrant dresses to denim jackets that will work hard throughout the season and well into summer. If I'm honest, I'm also excited to get my hands on some of the year-round styles, like tailoring and knitwear, that you'll also look forward to pulling out next year.

My personal highlights include the versatile tailored trousers that have become a frequent sighting around the Who What Wear offices, and are ideal for the transitional season. There's also a mix of elegant tops and skirts that will support outfit builds be they everyday or evening. Plus, I have to mention the seriously good selection of dresses, from versatile denim styles to wafty summer-ready silhouettes that have already made their way into my basket.

So if you need to save some time browsing everything, I've collated the very best pieces from the COS sale in a neat little list below—happy scrolling!
