It's Official: These Are the 12 Best-Selling COS Items This Year
If you weren’t a regular shopper at COS before this year, I’d be very surprised if you hadn’t been won over by now. Of course, the high street hero has been producing reliable, good quality staples for years now, all with an elevated, minimalist approach. But in the last year especially, we’ve noticed the label stepping things up, and creating seriously expensive-looking pieces that would be hard to set apart from The Row. We’re talking utterly desirable items that also make up the basic building blocks in a capsule wardrobe—a hard feat to come by. The perfectly oversized trench coat, for example, a leather crossbody fashion people can’t get enough of, or slouchy tailored trousers that make tank tops look like a million dollars.

It’s one thing we’ve really come to appreciate about COS— that unlike others on the high street, they tend to overlook trends and focus on these wardrobe staples that last far beyond just one season. Balancing design, quality and affordability is difficult for any brand, but honestly, COS has it nailed. And it’s reflected in the fact that we can barely open Instagram without coming across COS pieces on the most stylish people we follow.

Of course, some pieces in the latest collections have outsold others, proving just how good they really are. So if, like us, you’re nosy about what people are actually buying most, we thought you might want to get your eyes on this list of COS’s best-selling items of 2022 so far. From perfect T-shirts to versatile dresses, you might even own a number of these in your own wardrobes already. If not, you're in luck—most of them are still in stock (just) and there are links below if you're wanting to invest in these top tier buys before they sell out.
