These are the items you don't want to miss out on

With Black Friday fast approaching and everyone’s Christmas lists suddenly on their minds, I’m in the mood for some deals! It’s not only hefty discounts on Holy Grail items that get me excited, often it’s the practice of finding beautiful quality picks that slot right into my everyday wardrobe that thrills me the most. So, in the spirit of this, let’s take a look at the 33 items I’m loving from COS right now.

Buildable Basics

When it comes to basics, I like to keep things simple. I’m so fortunate to have some incredible pieces in my wardrobe, but without the basics to build my outfits around, the statement items can’t really shine. COS has everything from my favourite simple white tee to classic pinstripe shirts, plus sheer layers that feel a little more fun and trendy.

Knitwear

I feel like I’ve been banging on about my love for cosy knits quite a lot lately, but if there’s one autumn/winter styling tip that cannot be practised enough, it’s investing in timeless quality knitwear … so I will continue my ramble. COS knits are a mix of minimalist traditional layers plus contemporary options like this wool zip-up bomber jacket and off-the-shoulder jumpers and dresses that feel super feminine. There’s plenty of cashmere, Merino wool and silk thrown into the mix if you’re after that premium, luxury feel, too.

Tailoring

Tailoring is another topic I could talk about all season if you guys wanted to hear it. COS has got the classic tailored basics covered (as always) but what I’m most excited about for AW24 is the very special pieces. From silk-blend velvet suits to the most chic waistcoat and maxi skirt pairings.

Outerwear

It’s chilly out so everyone (myself included) is shopping outerwear right now – no shock there. Something else that should come as a surprise to none of us is COS’ well-curated selection of styles. From extra-snug double-faced wool layers and my favourite scarf-coat hybrids, to boxy collared jackets that are plenty versatile, these are the kind of ‘sensible investments’ that we can all feel good about buying.

Shoes & Accessories

And lastly for the shoes, bags and jewellery that bring all looks together – COS has got an impressive assortment. My top picks? THE most beautiful and classic black leather loafers, kitten heel slingbacks in burgundy, red and black options and the biggest boot trends of the season, plus chunky silver jewellery that’s perfect for everyday.
