On September 13th, 2026, London-based brand COS invited us back to New York for its Fall/Winter 2026 show, a study in office apparel for the fashion obsessed. Hosted inside the WSA building in Manhattan’s Financial District, the entire show centred around corporate aesthetics, from its sleek backdrop to the clean precision of its designs.
As usual, COS’s FROW was star-studded with familiar faces, including Michelle Williams, Lupita Nyong'o, Sharon Stone, John Boyega, Diego Calva, and Heart Evangelista. They looked on as COS unveiled a collection that felt as elevated as it was understated. A muted colour palette of delicate creams, cool greys, and powerful purples and blues set the tone, as COS put its main emphasis on quality and texture.
Tailoring on the runway flipped between being sharp and relaxed, as proportions were cinched and then exaggerated in turn. From cashmere and leather to pleating and fringe, the collection was a reminder that textures and fabrics can do more for a look than even the brightest colour. This was especially evident in the most extravagantly layered looks, which we’re keen to replicate.
Rooted in the stylish simplicity of a New Yorkers' officewear, COS's FW26 collection transformed instinct into edge in a collection that felt both intricate and effortless. Keep an eye out for the collection on COS's website and in-stores.
