 Hi everyone, welcome to this elegant, chic and timeless haul with a review try-on of COS. COS, an abbreviation of Collection of Style, is a brand I've liked for a long time, but actually this is the first time I've ever done a haul with them. So I'm really excited to share this review and of course hear what you all think. A portion of this video has very kindly been sponsored by Nordgreen, a brand I've been championing for a while and who was celebrating Valentine's Day with a bit of self-love. But I shall tell you all about that a little bit later in this video, but first let's get started with all those beautiful clothes. Now a bit like Everlane in the States, COS have a focus on high quality, sustainable fabrics. They ship worldwide and they always manage to keep their prices constant and affordable. I'd probably describe them as high end of the high street, I think that's fair. Essentially they have effortless sheep down to a tee. And when I'm searching for those elegant and timeless pieces, they're always on my shopping list. So without further ado, let me show you what I bought and how I would style those pieces into my outfits. I've recently rediscovered a lot for chinos this season and I'm thinking some of them definitely become a staple in my own wardrobe. 2021's interpretation is higher-waisted and elusive fit, definitely no less chic and one trend I'm really excited about. I have a few pairs in my capsule wardrobe already but I was on the hunt in this haul for a slightly baggier pair and I came across this COS version made from organic cotton. Now I went for the off-white but seeing it in person, I'd say it's somewhere between beige and a very light gray but do keep an eye on their range because they've got a khaki tone coming soon. Now, as you can see in this footage, I probably could have sized down but I actually really like the fit a little bit looser. Aside from being super comfy, it's also really on trend too and it does give you more options in terms of styling it. It gives you the option to wear them quite high-waisted maybe add a bell, really cinch it in or wear them low-slung on your hips for a really relaxed, laid-back look. There are lots of ways to style a pair of chinos, perhaps for another video so do let me know in the comments section if that's something you'd like to see. But in terms of this pair, I love the quality, love the fit and I know they're going to be really wearable in my capsule wardrobe. So definitely a winner. Now as a self-confessed jeans obsessive, I was eager to try out COSes for the first time so there was a lot to choose from. I decided to go with the barely timeless style of a straight-laid crop. Some of you might have seen my most recent Everlane haul where I found the perfect pair of loose-fitting jeans. These ones I'm wearing, actually. So I knew I ticked that box so this time I went true to size for a more elegant look. They're high but not too high. They're straight but not too tight. In essence, they seem to have a good grasp of the shape we all love. Certainly what I feel really comfortable in. Tucked in and able to breathe. There's a brand name right there. Now they are also available in a gray tone and a brilliant pastel yellow. I say brilliant because I don't think I could ever imagine myself wearing a pair of yellow trousers until I saw this pair of jeans. The color is lovely, subtle enough to get away with and obviously perfect for the spring-summer. Now as I mentioned, this video has very kindly been sponsored by Nordgreen as part of their self-love Valentine's campaign. And if there was ever a time for a bit of self-love, it would definitely be after the last year we all went through. If you're not already familiar with Nordgreen, they're a Danish watch brand with a heavy focus on quality, sustainability, and ethics as a company. For instance, they have their own giving back program. Donating money from every single watch sale to either Water for Good, Cool Earth, or Prattum UK. The latter of which will give one month's education to a child in India for every watch that's sold. There aren't many companies with initiatives like that, so it's definitely worth chatting about and one of the reasons I love this brand so much. And it's not just about their ethical practices, they back that up with a collection of really stunning watches. The designs are elegant and timeless, but with that undeniable, scandy minimalism that I love. So firstly, this is the native watch that I'm wearing and this is actually the first watch I ever received from Nordgreen. It's simple and elegant, but modern at the same time. And as you probably gathered from my videos and my Instagram, it has had an awful lot of wear since I got it. I went for it with the white dial and gold mesh strap and the largest face available, 40 millimeters, which I really like. So packaged in a beautiful box like this and this is the other one I have, the Philosopher Watch. I've got that in the brown leather strap but also a black leather too. So as I said, Nordgreen is celebrating Valentine's Day with a 15% discount offer or you can opt for a free interchangeable strap instead. And that's on top of the 20% off they've already got on their website so there's some really big savings to be had. So don't forget that discount code which I've added with a link in the description box below. A big thank you again to Nordgreen for supporting my channel. It's honestly a pleasure to share such beautiful pieces with everyone. There are many reasons I love COS but their elegant lounge wear would definitely be one of them. With that focus on high quality fabrics, I always end up thinking they look and feel far more expensive than they actually are. And a perfect example would be this beautiful lounge wear set that I just bought in white. I fell head over heels for this waffle knit done in a lovely organic cotton. We often see a cotton waffle knit on dressing gowns because of its really absorbent nature but in reality I just love the texture and the look of it in the outfits. Now in the top portion I sized up because I wanted it oversized. I definitely didn't want it too tight and I didn't want it hugging around my tummy at all. With the trouser portion however, I just went true to size as they already looked quite roomy and I would say their spot on. It's elegant, chic and timeless not to mention ridiculously comfy. Come the evening time sliding into these and getting cosy on the sofa, that's me definitely in my happy place.

For this Cos review haul and trial I was really keen to introduce some more of their knitwear. Some of you might remember that one of my favorite jumpers all winter came from Cos. It was that beautiful navy sweater made from a blend of alpaca. This season they have a great selection of sorbet tones which of course we saw all over the 2021 catwalks. They've incorporated an array of beautiful tones from dresses to blouses and coats even. But I decided to go with this pastel blue short sleeve jumper as I thought it would make a great transitional piece. Made from a blend of wool and with short sleeves I thought it would be perfect for spraying but would easily work now if I layered a cardigan or a coat over the top. Now as you can see, I've styled it with these light washed denim jeans and my lovely leather handbag to finish. There's a cute Parisian vibe about this top. Maybe it's the stitching detail that's making me think it. So you could add a head scarf or a headband to give it that added bit of je ne sais quoi. If you're looking for a pair of trousers that are smart enough for work but crossover with ease for your weekend style I think I might have found the perfect pair. The joy of wide leg high waisted trousers is that they have a tendency to make your legs look about 10 inches longer. Which being in the short leg camp myself I'm definitely not going to refuse. So I was very excited to give these a try on for this haul and then very quickly annoyed with myself for messing up on the sizing. I think I could have done the sizing down. They're coming up just a bit too big around the waistband. I think with a pinch or two out that waistband I would really get that special effect from them. That said, in terms of quality cut and fabric drape I think they're a beautiful pair of trousers. It's just the sizing that I messed up on which is really annoying. I love this tailoring detail at the front. The fact that they've been made from a blend of recycled polyester and if you're feeling brave they also are available in a brilliant shade of teal. Next I went for a sprinkle of yellow. Quite probably my favorite color but strangely I don't have enough of it in my wardrobe. I need to correct that. Anyhow, I spotted this slightly unusual mulberry silk blouse in this great shade of dusty yellow and I just had to give it a try. Retailing at 89 pounds I thought it was a great option for those looking for beautiful quality without breaking the bank. Which is actually what I'm finding across the board with the whole cost collection. Obviously there's a few different ways you could start this attached scarf section. In a bow always looks chic and loose knot always looks timeless and my favorite relaxed but elegant way of just letting them hang loose down the front. Then you might wonder how versatile yellow could be in your own wardrobe. I think you'd be surprised just to how many tones and outfits you could make with it. I love it with navy or light blue. I have brown and yellow together. Of course there's black and white would make it feel even more crisp. In short it's far more wearable than you'd think and having been made from such a beautiful mulberry silk fabric retelling under a hundred pounds I think it's another great piece from the cost collection. I really hope you've enjoyed this review haul and try on with COS. It's one of a few high street brands that's got such a clear identity. You always know what you're going to get. High quality fabrics, elegant and timeless designs with a hint of cool to keep you feeling on trend and without breaking the bank while you're doing it. I actually love taking a closer look at their collections so I'd be really interested to hear what you all think. Are you with me on those light washed denim jeans? Would you ever incorporate yellow into your own wardrobe? It's always really good to hear everyone's different opinions and don't forget about the beautiful watches by Nordgreen. I've added a link and that discount code in the description box below. I'll be back in a couple of days with lots more beautiful fashion for you so hopefully you will join me there. Take care.
