COS Has Just Launched a See Now, Buy Now Collection: Here Are 6 Fall Trends We're Snagging First
Fashion month is in full swing, and as the spring/summer 2026 season concludes this week in New York City, the general agreement is that the collections have been a true visual delight. The only drawback? We must wait several months before we can purchase any of the items. However, that was not the situation at the COS runway show yesterday, where the brand launched its F/W 25 collection—available for immediate shopping. Held at the Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse in Brooklyn, the show showcased COS's dedication to timeless elegance, craftsmanship, and quality. The collection exuded a sophisticated yet bold aesthetic, contrasting structured pieces with flowing designs. For example, long-sleeve tops with scarf details were layered beneath tailored funnel-neck pullovers, while cinched-waist jackets and sculpted dresses accentuated the female form, and flat shoes—including leather loafers, derby shoes, sock ankle boots, and suede sneakers—balanced comfort with style. If you're starting your fall and winter shopping now or looking to enhance your cold-weather wardrobe, COS's wearable runway collection is an excellent source for these essential staples.

Funnel-Neck Tops
Like many fashion enthusiasts right now, we’ve been on the lookout for ways to make our outfits appear more polished and sophisticated. Recently, we found that funnel-neck tops are a simple way to achieve this, and COS agrees. As highlighted in its runway collection, leather tops and wool capes were recreated with high necklines that rise straight up the neck, visually extending it and providing a luxurious, effortless feel. We also observed short-sleeve silk blouses with relaxed high necklines that maintained the funnel shape but included a draped front that folded over, enhancing the elegant appeal.

Plaid Pieces
At Who What Wear, we’ve identified plaid as a significant print trend for fall 2025, confirmed by designers like Proenza Schouler, Miu Miu, and Kallmeyer. COS has embraced this print in its F/W 25 runway collection. The show featured striking head-to-toe plaid ensembles—tops matched with tailored pants and skirts, stylish plaid turtlenecks layered under oversized leather jackets, and slouchy plaid clutches carried by models. This fresh interpretation of plaid moves away from early 2000s styles, focusing instead on clean lines in muted tones that feel contemporary and refined.

Belted Silhouettes
Although leather belts are typically simple in design, unique styling can elevate them. At COS's runway show, the brand presented a stunning collection featuring sleek leather and croc-effect slim belts that cinched the waists of flowing maxi dresses, leather jackets, and long blouses. You likely already own a beautiful leather belt, so the next time you use it, consider breaking from the conventional style. Instead of threading it through your favorite jeans or trousers, take cues from the COS runway and try wrapping it around a dress, jacket, or easy top.

Pencil Skirts
The pencil skirt has long represented professional style, making it logical that several were included in the collection that highlights refined yet powerful looks. The first two designs showcased black tailored pencil skirts crafted from a relaxed fabric that allowed for ease of movement with each step. They were cut just above the mid-shin to display the brand's new sock ankle boots, which insiders are eager to own. The collection also featured a leather pencil skirt and a gray crinkled-effect dress, both matched with coordinating tops, as well as a wool checkered-print piece.

Not-So-Little Black Dresses
We’re not suggesting you should discard your little black dress, as it still holds a place in fall fashion, especially when styled with sheer tights and classic black heels. Instead, we encourage you to reconsider your black dress choices. This fall, COS advocates for long black dresses that boast simple silhouettes yet feature intricate sculptural details. For example, one dress in the collection, composed of a wool blend and lined with sheer mulberry silk, showcased an off-the-shoulder neckline and an exquisite ruched design around the midsection. Another was a lengthy silk A-line dress with a unique twisted overlay cascading down the front.
