THREE BUYS FROM COS
...and I may be back for more. Great style at a great price is hard to resist.
COS continues to be the brand I turn to for updated staples and unique pieces with personality, all at a fair price. My latest picks from the early spring collection include both. Read below for what I bought and am likely purchasing in doubles (different colors though).
For starters, a drawstring parka jacket earns major style points with references to utilitarian pieces from Prada and Miu Miu. Even without those nods, it’s a great layering piece with tons of personality. It runs HUGE. I got an XS. If I wanted to make a major volume statement, I could have sized up. Look how much it updates a base layer of jeans and a sweater.
It’s also available in navy which I would wear now with black (love a navy/black pairing) and with white all summer long. It’s lightweight and perfect for California weather. The silhouette will also elevate a skirt and tee look.
Next, a drawstring funnel-neck shirt is another find. I bought it in ivory and wore it right away to Frieze LA over the weekend with Nili Lotan trousers. It’s nice on it’s own or adds an interesting layer under a jacket. Also available in navy which I may revisit. It has The Row vibe at a great price with a good fit. Not too oversized, reasonable sleeve length. I took a size 6. Tops with a little something going on around the neck look modern and of the moment.
Last, with the current 20% off HELLOSPRING promo, it’s a good time to freshen my white tees for the season. I’m replacing them with the Clean Cut Regular T-Shirt. It’s a substantial weight cotton with a high neck that sits perfectly for layering. I wear medium.
