When
COS first opened, I was excited about the prospect of quality affordable clothing with a unique edge, and although I wasn't disappointed I think they played it a bit safe at the beginning. However, on a bit of a whim I went into their store on Regent Street (the only one unfortunately) and found a noticeable difference from my first visit. The shapes were still quite simple but there was a lot more emphasis on unusual detailing and the colour palette was a lot brighter - with emerald green, canary yellow and peachy pink providing a contrast with their usual grey tones. While I was there I bought a beautiful yellow top in a sheer fabric, which would be great on it's own or layered over another colour. Together with the high-waisted black jeans, it was a great little shopping trip and one that totally changed my opinion about the brand.
