If I can share one insider secret with you, it’s this: Keep an eye on COS. The brand has long been my secret weapon for finding elevated-looking basics at an affordable price point. It's also my secret weapon for tapping into the quiet luxury look dominating the runways at New York Fashion Week.
Its new drop is proof. It’s full of lust-worthy jackets, dreamy knits, and luxe-looking layer-able staples that will improve your everyday winter and early spring outfits. The entire range is also available in neutral hues like navy, cream, and black, with a few trending colors and textures sprinkled in—like fringe and suede, which were both popular on the runways this season.
Keep scrolling to shop 25 pieces that I would buy if I had unlimited closet space. I own a few of these picks, too, so you know they’re good. Plus, everything is under $300.
