COS, the It-Girls' Secret Wardrobe Maker, Is Having Its Black Friday Sale and It's Beyond

If you're going to splurge on a classic wool coat, now's the time to do it. This particular one is part of COS's Capsule Wardrobe: "a seasonal evolution of permanent COS icons." In other words, the brand sees this refined coat—made from 60 percent RWS and 40 percent TENCEL™ Lyocell—as a long-term investment. But it's also versatile, designed with notch lapels that can be folded up to be styled as a funnel neck.

COS doing more of what it does best: classics that somehow seem from the future. These 100 percent leather boots with thermoplastic rubber soles have an almond-shaped toe and block heel that can be styled a million ways to the runway, but they look especially chic with dresses or mini skirts.

Alternatively, these knee-high boots with a heel and wide, modern shape offer a simple but impactful twist on the classic leather footwear. In a word: outfit-making. In three more: Refined, subtle and elevated. Plus, getting a deal on 100 percent leather shoes is something I don't take lightly.

COS tends to offer up oversized, boxy silhouettes that walk a tightrope between feminine and masculine. And the Folio bag, a piece revisited from the brand's archives, embodies that ethos—but also manages to be a carry-all you can stuff all your must-haves in. The oversized leather bag with crocodile effect is angular yet supple; fashion-forward yet serviceable (see: magnetic closure). Style it across the body with the strap or hold it like you're heading to Fashion Week.

The quilted jacket has quickly become THE transitional outwear staple. It's comfortable, lightweight and does the job of keeping you warm. But the designers at COS dared to ask: "But what if...FASHION?" Their take on the classic jacket includes a tonal scarf that wraps effortlessly around the neck, adding a luxury fashion upgrade: insulation and added dimension.

Part of COS's core collection, the brand's 100 percent cotton long-sleeve tee is the understated essential building block for any closet. Made from soft organic-cotton jersey, the tightly ribbed neck, long sleeves and neat top stitching make this a shirt that can hold its own just fine or comfortably layer. With COS's Black Friday 25 percent off sale, take this as a sign to stock up.

Another basic powerhouse, this is the versatile styling piece every closet needs. It's made from 97 percent RWS Merino wool, recycled nylon and elastane. The softness of the wool, simplicity of the crew neckline and the enduring—and having its moment right now!—brown hue make this a future wear-on-repeat I have my eyes on this Black Friday.
