COS comes to Montreal

COS has come to Montreal!  The big-sister from the H&M family is minimal, sleek and grown up.

COS A-Line Sweatshirt Dress

COS Sheer Pattern Jumper

I had the pleasure of attending the opening and got to check out the clothes in person.  There was a lot of oversized knits (oversized everything really), smooth lines, and fairly androgynous offerings.  There were a few fitted pieces but the vast majority were loose and large.  Patterns were minimal with only the odd polka-dot here and there.  There was a lot of sweaters (some were fitted), and clothing in wool, silk and jersey on display.  I could see a lot of the clothes in an office but there was definitely some that I felt comfortable wearing at home too. And yes, there’s a men’s section.

COS Wide-Neck Cotton Dress

I’ve always had trouble buying dresses as I’m somewhat tall (5’7″) but a size small and everything always comes up short on me.  COS is (finally) the exception and I found all the dresses had ample length.

COS Fitted Waist Dress

There is a lot of black but there are spots of colour including  wonderful coral, green and mustard.  The fabrics are much nicer than H&M and the price point is as also higher.  My friend remarked that it seemed nearly everything was $135.  The coats came in around the $290 mark.

COS A-Line Wool Coat

These were some of my favourite picks and I chose them because I remembered seeing them in the store.  There is a lot more in store than on their website.  I bought a textured jersey dress which I LOVE and I will be able to wear around the house as well as out.  I didn’t see it online, so you’ll have to find it in store.

Do you know COS already?  What do you think?
