Ask any fashion editor on our team where they shop for quality basics, and I guarantee they're going to mention minimalist-chic retailer COS within their top three picks. As someone who has been shopping at COS for over a decade, I can personally attest to just how good COS's selection of versatile, easy-to-wear staples is. In fact, practically every in-the-know fashion person in my circle is savvy to the brand's sleek and elevated styles.
So when COS has a sale, we editors don't miss a beat when it comes to adding the best pieces to cart. Its winter sale right now is particularly good—filled with easy and elevated year-round basics that will bolster your capsule wardrobe in 2025.
