Tired of black? COS has announced the most stylish colors to wear at the moment.
For the majority of the year, my closet primarily features neutral colors. During the cooler autumn and winter seasons, my main color palette includes black, white, and grey, with a few carefully chosen accents of red and khaki. However, in the summer, even as a committed minimalist, I find myself attracted to more captivating shades. Perhaps it’s the brilliant blue skies, sunny yellow days, and lively greenery that prompt this more vibrant shift in colors. While I can certainly appreciate the brilliance of white in the summertime, it’s the deeper shades that truly grab my attention.
From the simplest tank top to the most thoughtfully crafted dress, color plays a significant role in a garment's appeal. Keeping longevity in mind, I am sticking with timeless silhouettes and designer-inspired cuts that I rely on while opting for updated colors to give them a fresh feel that aligns with my style. Among the brands available, COS consistently impresses me with its luxurious-looking pieces, and this season, it has focused on six color trends that enhance the elegance of even the most beautifully designed items.
A quick look through the COS new-in section reveals clear color trends that have emerged. The seasonal palette is established, with every buttery yellow and deep burgundy exuding a sense of novelty, even when the designs are classic. From essential shirts to sharp tailoring, the brand has taken into account the longevity of its designs as well as the precise shades that convey sophistication. Overall, these are the six luxurious-looking color trends to consider right now.
