11 Anti-Trend Items From the COS Capsule Wardrobe
Collarless Blazer
COS
Collarless Suede Blazer
The collarless blazer is quietly becoming my favorite silhouette of 2026. It’s understated yet deserving of compliments. It is a ’90s minimalists’ dream.
Cotton Button-Down
COS
Layered-Collar Pima Cotton Shirt
A white cotton button-down is a staple in many people’s wardrobes because of its ease of styling and crisp look. This layered collar is an elevated take on the classic.
Mohair-Blend Crewneck
COS
Zigzag-Knit Mohair-Blend Sweater
A quality crewneck sweater is the spring piece you are forgetting. It’s ideal for an effortless throw over the shoulder or tied around the waist in case the temperature drops.
Belted Trench Coat
COS
Belted Cotton Short Trench Coat
Over the past year, funnel-neck jackets have become increasingly popular. Ironically, so has the collarless silhouette. It would be fair to assume that the style set is intrigued by unique necklines. If that sounds like you, I highly suggest the one above.
Wool-Blend Polo Shirt
COS
Shrunken Wool-Blend Polo Shirt
A polo shirt has just the right amount of East Coast prep without falling too far into the “old money” aesthetic.
Pencil Skirt Set
COS
Jersey Midi Pencil Skirt
For my fellow Love Story binge watchers, doesn’t this ’90s-like set look like something you’d find in CBK’s wardrobe?
COS
Pima Cotton-Jersey Shirt
Straight-Leg Jeans
COS
Reprise Straight-Leg Jeans
Skinny jeans this, cigarette jeans that. A pair of straight-leg jeans with just the right amount of ankle stack will always reign supreme, IMO. Pair them with the cotton button-down above, high-vamp pumps, and you’re set.
Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan
COS
Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan
If you follow our NYFW coverage, you may have spotted a number of our editors in V-neck sweaters. When worn with a white crewneck underneath or paired with a croc-embossed leather skirt, this rich-looking silhouette deserves a spot in your outfit rotation.
Cotton T-Shirt
Barrel-Leg Utility Pants
COS
Barrel-Leg Cotton Utility Pants
My tapered leg and button detailing immediately caught my attention. When worn with a pair of fitted ankle boots and oversize button-down or a pair of Mary Janes and a boatneck long-sleeve, you’ll find yourself reaching for these khaki pants again and again.
