Forget Burgundy—COS Has Announced *This* as the Must-Have Color for Fall.
Fall typically brings to mind shades like burgundy, dark brown, and emerald green. These colors have long been associated with the season, evoking feelings of warmth and comfort, much like a pumpkin spice latte, and mirroring the transformation of the leaves. However, for fall 2025, a new hue is vying for the title of It color, and COS is embracing it: powder pink. This week, COS released its pre-fall collection, showcasing a carefully curated range of sophisticated barn jackets, barrel-leg jeans, pencil skirts, loafers, suede coats, and tailored trousers. While most styles are available in browns, blacks, and navies, a selection of powder-pink items stands out, offering a gentle burst of color for those willing to stray from classic neutrals. This soft pink tone was prevalent in the spring 2026 runway collections (think Alaïa, Miu Miu, and Khaite); however, that doesn't mean it will be retired after September 22, the final day of summer. So if you feel inspired to incorporate this color into your new-season wardrobe with one or two pieces, keep reading because we’re highlighting those finds along with other stylish new arrivals from COS.
