HOW TO BUILD A SPRING CAPSULE WARDROBE 

The new season provides the perfect opportunity to start afresh. A well-edited spring capsule wardrobe sets the foundation for a series of dynamic looks for the season ahead. Start by assessing the existing pieces in your rotation, then sort and simplify to determine what aligns with your current style, what feels seasonally appropriate and narrow down the new spring clothes that can benefit your wardrobe. 

Following this formula, the new collection spotlights timelessness, versatility and comfort as key tenets, marking a return to intuitive dressing. Focusing on a primary palette of neutrals, directional outerwear and transformative pieces are offset with a foundation of core essentials, from T-shirts to denim, that anchor the everyday wardrobe. Discover the key pieces from the new collection to create the ultimate spring capsule wardrobe. 

STATEMENT OUTERWEAR 

Lighter outer layers are synonymous with transitional dressing during the spring months. A classic longline beige coat in premium Responsible Wool Standard wool-blend twill highlights the key trapeze silhouette of the season. A cotton shirt acts as a featherweight top layer for warmer days with an engineered funnel-neck collar. The use of denim and leather signals a seasonal shift, the latter cut in a boxy silhouette perfect for spring styling. 

KEY ACCESSORIES 

The season’s key accessories are minimal yet distinctive, elevated by exquisite materials and a focus on craftsmanship. Chunky hoop earrings sculpted in softly squared shapes and a striking box-chain necklace with spherical pendant complement the precise and pared-back nature of the spring collection. Signature icons in the Alcove tote, mini Studio Bowling bag and the playfully modern Dahlia shoulder bag showcase the individuality of the COS bag collection, charging even the simplest of spring outfits with personality.  

READY-TO-WEAR DENIM 

Reimagined for spring, signature COS ready-to-wear silhouettes are updated in denim crafted from organic or recycled cotton. A double-breasted trench coat pays tribute to the oversized cut, redone in a deep-indigo wash for a modern spin on the spring classic. The season’s key barrel-leg shape is translated to raw denim jeans, reinforced with tobacco topstitching for an Americana aesthetic. The collection features five exclusive styles created for COS Remade, a denim capsule crafted from 20% collected pre-loved cotton pieces by COS. 

SLIM SHIRTS & T-SHIRTS 

COS wardrobe staples are revisited with a new sense of refinement for spring through the simplicity of a slim cut. A classic white T-shirt with a gradual scooped neckline offers a fresh update on the crew-neck, crafted with precision from organic cotton. A streamlined polo shirt spun from lightweight TENCEL™ Lyocell and merino wool marries perfectly with a crisp white shirt, layered nonchalantly for a preppy spin. The polished silhouette of a pinstriped Pima cotton shirt, tailored on a classic block, underpins light knitwear for those between-season days. 

SPRING SHIRT DRESSES 

The shirt dress is an endlessly adaptable COS signature, and a key highlight of the spring collection. Crafted from pure cotton with tonal ties to define the shape, the design is offered in two iterations: a more formal classic khaki version with the tailoring influences of a traditional trench coat and vibrant blue stripes in an easier, relaxed silhouette that lends itself well to wide-leg trousers for daytime. 

TRANSFORMATIVE DETAILS 

Lightweight shirts, coats and jackets with enveloping funnel-neck collars streamline the silhouette and provide a barrier against the unpredictable spring elements. In contrast, scarf necklines, spaghetti straps and bows in lustrous fabrics show a softer side to the collection, showing strength in femininity. 

WARDROBE FOUNDATIONS 

Minimal layers form the foundations of a hard-working wardrobe for spring, anchoring the season’s key hero pieces and transforming outfits. Everyday silhouettes are elevated with exquisite materials, from a minimal crew-neck long-sleeved top in pure merino wool for transitional layering, to the signature COS turtleneck top worn as a base for crisp poplin shirts and statement outerwear. Choose foundations in uncomplicated neutral shades to work with everything in your wardrobe.
