          Just be Cos.

          December 18, 2017

          If you are looking for a calming shopping experience, take a breather and enter the new Cos store in Guildford’s High Street, previously home to H&M. Easy on the eye the elegant clothes have minimal details and clean silhouettes. Perfect core items for your wardrobe.

          A high percentage of the store is made up of shades of black, greys and neutrals with hits of high powered colours to break up the classics. The bold yellow draws you close, but most will understand the easier colour options and soft pastels in pale green and pink tints.

          Yellow silk top, £115, bold sitting under a tuxedo jacket.

          Slim fit trousers, £59, perfect party pins with elastic waistband and a washable cotton blend.

          The elegant way to show a shoulder, fine rib fabric, £55

          Purse perfection in red leather, £19 

          Oversized and super cosy, in green and grey wool check, £49

          Clutch or shoulder, this perfectly proportioned leather bag, £69 also in black for the future proof choice.

          A cool idea a bit like a tailored hoodie, the padded hood with front and back bib sections to sit under a coat, £55  

          Wear forever, wool blend tailored coat, £175 over trousers or into Spring with floral dresses. 

          With womenswear on the ground floor, mens and and children on the first, all housed in modern open surroundings, the floors look nearly uni sex. With crazy all around it was a sigh of relief to walk where details are discreet, clothing designed without unnecessary additions. Although there are experimental ideas for the adventurous, with twisted seams and the occasional quirky cut, the finish feels designer at high street prices.

          The trouser selection should fill most of our needs from very slim to super wide. I would advise a search through the website before you visit to find your shapes, and then ask where to find them in store as a few shoppers are a little intimidated by the sparse layout.

          You won’t love it all, but be open to new inspiration.

          Take a look and enjoy the future, Kx

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
