last week i popped by COS to have a look at their latest fall winter 2009 collection. i tried on the above blazer, and it is l00o00ve. the grey blazer is made from a stiff fabric, which is great as it provides shape and gives the wearer a good silhouette.
the blazer fitted perfectly. it comes with matching trousers too so i can make it into a formal suit. i can't fault the tailoring and finish, it's beautiful. the blazer retails for £195. i love it, but i thought the price is a bit steep so i put it back.
and then i tried on the varsity-like jacket, again it fitted so well. i think i am going back more often now, as their sizing is good for me. the jacket with leather sleeves and wool body retails for about £250.
the leather and wool jacket was also featured in their ad campaign/lookbook too.
COS is dangerous i tell you.
COS is dangerous i tell you.
Like this a lot 00o00. See, this is inspired design. Inspired by Balenciaga, I'd say, but still a distinct COS style.
ReplyDeleteYou have a a finely tuned valuometer, if you are able to walk away.
yeah COS is a shop in my top shops, shame its nowhere near me and they dont do online. boo. i wanted the cape.
ReplyDeletekorok: finely tuned valuometer lol! i like that!
ReplyDeletemat: COS is opening more shops, there's one in westfields too. they might eventually do online shops i guess...
i've got the hooded cape (last image) and it's totally amazing.
ReplyDeletethe next think i'll buy from cos: the boots (first picture).
i adore the jacket with the leather sleeves but it’s a bit too expensive i think.
i tried the cape but it swallowed me whole lol!
ReplyDeletethe boots looks gorgeous.
shhh, i'll wait for the jacket with leather sleeves to go on sale....
i bought the cape in small
ReplyDeleteand it’s perfect.
the boots cost about £150
and that’s totally fair i think!
i'll wait for sale too!
but stop: there’s something
like a private sale here
in germany with 20% off
everything in mid october.
that could be an option.
i will think about. ;)
I must give COS another chance. I like those but I'll wait for sale season. :-)
ReplyDeletei wish i had a cos i always hear such good things about it. (also dont have an h&m either, but im not impressed w/ them)
ReplyDeletethat varsity jacket is very nice. it's sleek enough that it doesnt become preppy.
gosh! why there'll be private sale of 20% off in germany?!? never heard of such in london... or m i not on their list yet? :/
ReplyDeleteomg..i juz bought the one with leather sleeves today and here it is on u...lol....
ReplyDeletebtw did u see this long black coat..stiff wool as well..with a high collar with hidden front buttons??
COS is expanding soon....i heard they r opening quite a number in europe when i was chatting with the sales assistant today....
COS really is dangerous. The store is so well "curated."
ReplyDeleteWhen is sale season here in the UK?
I am so Jealous!!! We don't have COS in the US. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah sure i can say the jackets look great... and they do. but i am quite attracted to the rest of the outfit. the tucked in Nehru collar shirt, selvage jeans that fit perfectly, and the slim and sleek brown leather belt are so sexy! i want to comment on the shoes too but they are hard to make out... dark blue suede? whatever they are they look nice! esp. because they are pointy toed
ReplyDeletei really love your bag.
ReplyDeleteplease do a shoe post! all of your shoes!
it’s the third time i could join
ReplyDeletethat kind of private sale.
the last event was sponsored
by vogue. now it’s elle. i don’t
if there’s something like that
in uk?
i tried the boots on today
but they look totally different!
no used look! no shiny leather!
nothing special... :/
The varsity jacket is so balenciaga!:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the blazer..it has a very sharp fit and cut...and I agree..price is a bit steep...but so nice!
yeah Kevin, varsity look Balenciaga-ish.
