Here’s What We’re Buying From The Just-Opened COS In Manila
We’re so excited to visit!
Say the word COS and you’re for sure to hear someone who loves it. London-based fashion brand COS finally hits Manila and it’s all the rave this season. Finally, the enduring yet contemporary style of COS is now accessible to the thousands of Filipinos obsessed with the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.
Set against their sleek store, COS opens in the city with their Spring/Summer ’21 collection. The pieces are testament to why the brand is so well-loved: Clean-cut pieces that are no fuss while being highly functional. Relaxed and effortless may be overused words in fashion but in the case of COS, they are given a whole new meaning. Womenswear pieces have this throw-it-on-and-go-quality to them that any piece is sure to cater to your day’s needs. From swimwear to paired basics, clean lines and layering are always at the collection’s core. Every piece from the brand is set to make your wardrobe more timeless piece after piece.
As a brand committed to sourcing quality materials that limit the impact on the planet, the pieces highlight the use of linen and hemp that require much less water and pesticides to source.
The brand is off to a great start here in Manila. Before you go on a spree, we are giving our very own shopping list of what we’re buying from COS (and what we’re borrowing from the boys)!

A grazing floor-length dress is this season’s most lived in piece. Get this light green pleated dress for easy days in the sun.
It pays to have a top that breathes. Case in point: this beige collared tee that will see many years in your closet.
Pair the tee with this cropped pair of trousers for a minimal look but maximum impact.
For office days in, a little added surprise of a ribbon to your white top lifts up the mood.
A put-in-everything approach to bag selection is cue to a fully functional choice. This roomy black bag does the job.
Understated doesn’t need to mean boring. These white hoops are the update we need from earrings.
A chunky pair of slides is all the rave this season. Think comfy and cool rolled into one pair.
Make your eyewear of choice uncomplicated but timeless. This pair is sure to last the test of trends.
Borrowed from the boys, this white vest is the newest thing your closet needs. The more oversized the better!
Wear it with pants, over a dress, or on its own for your days in, this versatile button-down won’t fail you.
