Whenever I aim for a polished and expensive look, I go directly to COS—these 5 knits demonstrate exactly why.

      As a fashion editor, I take my responsibility to ensure that you (and I) find the highest quality items at the most reasonable prices very seriously. When it comes to high-street shopping, I consider myself quite knowledgeable. Whether it's discovering Zara's hidden treasures or analyzing H&M's capsule collections, finding the best pieces is truly my favorite hobby and one of the most fulfilling parts of my job.

      Marylin showcases knitwear in a bright red COS sweater. Amid the constant influx of new arrivals and seasonal releases, there’s one brand that consistently stands out: COS. It embodies the idea of "expensive-looking high street" and offers a range of high-quality, affordable essentials, versatile outerwear, and stylish jeans. With unpredictable weather and a chill in the air, COS knitwear is making a comeback, better than ever. From cozy red knits that add a pop of color to a monochromatic outfit to a baby blue polo neck that brings a lively touch to brown velvet jeans, the trendiest personalities I follow are turning to COS for knitted pieces in diverse styles.

Made from 100% cashmere, it combines the brand's minimalist style with this season's trending hues and silhouettes, effortlessly balancing style and substance. Available in five muted colors, its refined silhouette is polished and extremely soft. I tried it in a medium; it layers perfectly under a trench or over a tee, making it an ideal piece for transitional autumn outfits.

      You can follow COS's lead and layer two cardigans over each other for a relaxed upgrade.

      **Pros:** Great value, available in various colors, 100% cashmere.

      **2. Merino Wool Cardigan**

      **Style Notes:** This Merino Wool cardigan sells out every year before winter arrives. Made from premium merino wool, it is soft and very warm, perfect for chilly days. With rounded sleeves and ribbed trims, its cropped fit sits just above the waist. I tried the pale pink version, but it also comes in navy and Mole mélange, each adding a cheerful touch to simple outfits. I wore mine with low-waisted trousers and loafers, but I’ve seen others style it with everything from jeans to draped over a maxi dress.

      **Pros:** 100% Merino wool, thick fabric perfect for winter, machine washable.

      **Cons:** Limited colors may not fit into everyone’s capsule wardrobes, limited size range.

      **3. Chunky Cashmere Crew Neck**

      **Style Notes:** Every year, fashion enthusiasts flood my feed wearing various shades of this Chunky Cashmere Crew Neck. Its thick knit and detailed ribbed trims contribute to its luxurious feel, thanks to 100% cashmere. Available in navy and beige, I was drawn to the pale pink shade for its laid-back elegance. Size small was a perfect oversized fit. Recently, I've seen this sweater styled with everything from trousers to snake-print skirts.

      **Pros:** 100% cashmere, machine washable, looks more expensive due to its elevated design.

      **4. Brushed Cashmere Polo Jumper**

      **Style Notes:** I’m a huge fan of polo necks, and this brushed cashmere version is among the best I’ve tried. I tried a small, and its open collar and batwing sleeves create a relaxed shape, while the earthy olive color is perfect for autumn. The brushed fabric adds texture, and its longer length skims the thighs. I simply couldn't leave the store without this knit!
