When it comes to runway shows, designers often showcase collections that aren’t immediately available for purchase. Typically, fashion lovers have to wait about five months before getting their hands on the new designs or seeing them up close in stores. However, some brands have chosen to deviate from this standard by making their collections instantly available for purchase right off the runway. The latest one to do it? London-based brand COS.

During New York Fashion Week, COS took showgoers to the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard to unveil its fall/winter 2024 collection with a “see now, buy now” collection. The 43-piece line featured sophisticated pieces that beautifully captured the essence of COS’s DNA codes—minimalistic designs, clean lines, and neutral palettes.

While the brand maintained its traditional essence, it explored new levels of craftsmanship and a fresh perspective, evident in the designs that combined modern and traditional elements. Alongside the impeccably tailored suit separates and stunning wool coats, the collection also featured ballet flats with playful pops of bright color and crochet tops paired with trousers. Overall, the collection showcased luxurious yet wearable pieces, making it a solid starting point for one’s fall capsule wardrobe.

If you’re ready to update your closet for the upcoming season with pieces embodying craftsmanship, innovation, and lasting design, keep scrolling. I’ve gathered the top trends and the best finds from COS’s new collection, which you can shop for now. However, keep checking COS’s site because more runway pieces will continue to drop throughout the season, and the COS Atelier collection will be available starting in October.

Leather jackets have always been and will always be a wardrobe essential for chic fashion people. While no leather jacket style is “out,” COS has demonstrated that some silhouettes, such as bombers, truckers, and shearling-lined coats, are more current than others.

Chic European fashion people love a good pair of baggy trousers, so it makes sense that the UK brand showed an abundance of them on the runways. These versatile pants were paired with crochet tops, thin knit sweaters, and oversize blazers, illustrating their ability to complement a range of looks.
