If you didn’t already know, COS is the moment. While the fashion brand has been around since 2007, it recently received a surplus of new (and well deserved) attention. Why is that, you ask? I like to think the emphasis on quality basics, quiet luxury, and sustainability did the trick. The brand offers affordable but timeless pieces made with materials like regenerative cotton and other recycled fabrics. It also helps that A-listers, including Pamela Anderson, Gigi Hadid, and Alberto Guerra, are big fans of the label.
What I love most about COS is its design ethos that fashion should be timeless, good clothes should work for more than just one season. As a fashion editor, this is especially important because it’s my job to sift through sales, dissect trends, and predict fads—and through the years of my career, COS has been one of the brands to remain on all of my must-have lists. The pieces I’ve acquired from COS are durable, elegant, and serve as the foundation of my wardrobe.

If you’re new to COS, you’re in luck as Nordstrom has marked down 30 items from the label, including a few best-sellers. Although COS can be considered mid-luxury, the price tag can be a bit steep for some, which is why this sale is especially exciting. All the items are at least 25 percent off. Whether you’re looking to revamp your fall outfit rotation, need something for a last minute warm-weather vacation, or you just want to plan ahead for summer 2025, this sale checks all the boxes.
