It's almost that time of year again when the leaves start to fall, the days become crisp, and for me, dressing becomes an art form. As the temperature drops, there's something about the layering possibilities, cosy textures and rich colour palettes that make this season my absolute favourite. Autumn calls for a wardrobe refresh that combines comfort with style and each year, I eagerly anticipate unpacking my chunky knits, oversized coats and versatile staples, because I'd argue that dressing for autumn is the most fun of all the seasons. And what better way to lean into this than by updating my wardrobe with the latest from high-street hero COS?
When it comes to finding those perfect autumnal essentials, I always head to a few trusted brands that never let me down. COS, a year-round favourite, holds a special place on this list, especially during autumn. Its commitment to timeless designs and quality fabrics makes the pieces go-tos for easy, throw-on style. COS' beloved wide-leg trousers and the 24/7 T-shirt are the backbone of my capsule wardrobe for that off-duty vibe I love. For the coming season, many of the brand's new arrivals have already made it onto my wish list for everything from work meetings to weekend getaways. I know these finds are set to elevate my autumnal outfits.
Browsing through the latest collection, I've fallen in love with several items that perfectly capture the essence of what autumnal style means to me. Take for instance the Cropped Wool Cardigan—its relaxed fit and soft wool blend make it ideal for layering over a crisp white button-down for a chic office look or a turtleneck for cosy weekend vibes. Then there's the Deconstructed Cotton Barrel-Leg Trousers, which give a slightly more casual, cooler silhouette to other trouser options, and can easily be dressed up with a sleek blazer or pared back with a casual tee. The Boxy Double-Faced Wool Jacket is another standout—its oversized fit and dark tan hue are perfect for making a statement, even when it's cold. Below are the 17 pieces I can't wait to get my hands on.
