I’m on the hunt for some elevated basics and the COS sale is ticking every box
Timeless, wearable styles for less? Yes please.
I’ll be honest, I always get excited when the COS sale begins (it doesn’t happen often, you see), and the January sales are finally here. From winter coats and chic knitwear to elegant ankle boots, COS always delivers.
ARKET also has a brilliant sale on right now, and I've rounded up my favourite timeless-yet-on-trend styles. But if there's one thing that COS excels in, it's elevated basics. As somebody keen to build their capsule wardrobe, I naturally gravitate towards the brand for stylish everyday pieces that have longevity.
With its timeless offering and surprisingly affordable prices, the most popular styles are known to sell out fast. So that’s why I’ve scoured the sale with a shopping editor’s eye to find the very best pieces for you to invest in now.
Whether you’re after some timeless tailored pieces, classic cotton basics or chic accessories to elevate your winter looks, there’s sure to be something in here for you. Keep scrolling to shop my top picks.
