I Buy My Luxe Basics From COS—Here Are 20 On-Sale Items That Will Wow You Too

01 July 2023 2 years ago46 Views

Let’s be honest. Unless you’re rolling in the dough, buying luxurious wardrobe pieces isn’t always possible. Even as an editor, I can’t tell you how often my colleagues and I have messaged over Slack about our desire to buy Totême or Prada, knowing very well that it’s not in the cards for us at the moment. But just because we lack the means doesn’t mean that we can’t still find affordable clothing that gives off “rich energy” for less.

In fact, there’s a slew of places our team loves to shop for luxe staples—including everywhere from Zara to Mango. And while I love those shops just as much as the next editor, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that my favorite is COS. Every time I scroll through its new-arrivals section, I’m left gawking over the retailer’s ability to take classic wardrobe pieces and make them feel luxe through unique hemlines, colors, and fabrics. No other retailer in my mind understands the assignment quite like COS, so you can see why I was overjoyed when it announced its 2022 summer sale.

Finding fabulous basics on sale is fantastic in and of itself, but shopping the sale section on COS? Top-tier life experience. So as COS’s summer sale nears an end, I’ve taken the liberty of rounding up the best staples to buy right now. And since its pieces always manage to sell out quickly, I’ve also rounded up a few other staples worth purchasing (so that you don’t have FOMO).

Your new favorite wardrobe essential is a scroll away.

You'd be wise to pair it with the matching tube top.

Pair with white jeans and black accessories for the chicest summer outfit around.

I can not emphasize enough the importance of owning at least one trench coat. It’s the key to making any outfit look more expensive.

I love when a classic dress silhouette comes in a trendy color.

But don't worry, it also comes in black.

Hello, date-night.

This may be a controversial take, but Bermuda shorts are that summer staple. You can dress them up or down, you don’t have to worry about them being too short, and they’re so comfortable.

All of COS’s trousers are just *chef’s kiss*.

Loafer lovers, this is all you.

I want to carry this by the water.

Give your plain white tees a break for once.

Great mules.

I can guarantee that these will become your go-to summer pants.

The perfect accessory for the summer, if I don’t say so myself.

Meet your new favorite tank.

This silhouette is incredibly sleek and '90s-inspired.

Suiting never ceases to amaze me.

This color!

I love classic button-downs, but this cinched-waist shape is just too chic.
