Stores I Love – COS Stores – Summer 2018 | COS is synonymous with timeless, minimal and functional fashion. Making COS Stores a firm favourite for one of my first posts on “Stores I Love”!
My Personal Discovery of COS Stores
I’m not sure if I had been living under a rock (well, maybe just in New Zealand). However, on a recent trip to London, I was doing my usual shopping at speed when I happened to stumble across a COS store, which I had never seen before. I took a double-take, and I was very nearly hyperventilating.
Where to start? The fashion was so classic, minimalist and yet with a distinctly European edge. The quality and price point are perfect. COS is synonymous with timeless, minimal and functional fashion. Making COS Stores – a new addition to “Stores I Love”! It was only my daughter protesting that stopped me from buying an infinite amount of things.
COS – About
COS (short for Community of Science) was launched in 2007 as the more sophisticated sister brand to the Swiss Store H&M. It is synonymous with timeless, minimal and functional fashion.
It’s high-quality essentials for the modern wardrobe, reinvented classics, mid-level pricing, and contemporary designs that last well beyond the season.
The brand’s ethos is to put longevity first, combining this approach to design by focusing on using sustainable fabrics and material innovation to use primarily recycled or repurposed materials by 2030.
Everything COS is inspired by art and design. – “Art and design lie at the centre of COS. This is the thread that runs through everything – our constant inspiration.”

COS Stores – My Current Favourites!
1) BELTED HIGH-WAIST TROUSERS $115USD
Timeless and elegant is all I can say. High-waisted trousers with an on-trend wide-leg fit.
2) CURVED WIDE-LEG TROUSERS $125USD
I love these trousers. Maybe not for everyone, and honestly, I do shy away from white. In my humble opinion, one should avoid white and tight, which should be avoided. However, what’s not to love about these wide-leg trousers?
3) SLEEVELESS JERSEY JUMPSUIT $125USD
I have coveted the on-trend jumpsuits for a while, and this heavy jersey style was perfect for me. It’s so chic with an edge that can be casual or dressy.
4) CROPPED DENIM JACKET $115USD
Everyone should have a great denim jacket in their wardrobe! And the colour of this jacket is perfect.
5) FLARED SLEEVELESS DRESS $125USD
I loved this so much that I had to have it, and I did. Dress up or down a classic must-have in your wardrobe !! ( I have featured this dress in a later post, The Classic Little Black Dress Edit – The versatile must-have for every woman’s wardrobe!
6) BELTED WOOL COAT $350USD
This coat is so on-trend (Meghan Markle has made coats like this a must-have!) Check out my subsequent post, 9 Stunning Coats Inspired by Meghan Markle.
7) SUEDE SLINGBACK HEELS $190USD
These shoes are so gorgeous, and they also came in black. I have a size 42 feet and was a bit like Cinderella. I tried them on twice, just in case. Alas, I left them behind.
8) LEATHER PHONE POUCH $35USD
My friends are currently obsessed with a similar version of the leather phone pouch. When I first saw it, I had doubts; it has a price tag of at least four times this stylish pouch. I have come around to the practicality and need for such an item (especially if you are into walking and popping out).
9) BRAIDED LEATHER SHOULDER BAG $125USD
I think this bag is just stunning (you need to check it out online and see it on the model). I have always used an oversized bag, but the simple cross-body bag undoubtedly has a moment. Check out my post on The 24 Best Minimalist Crossbody Bags for further inspiration.
