Serious Question: How Isn't Every Single New COS Item Out of Stock Already?

Serious Question: How Isn't Every Single New COS Item Out of Stock Already?

COS is one of those brands for me that I can always count on to offer at least a few items that check off all my boxes. Whether that's just a striped T-shirt, great pair of jeans, or an easy, everyday dress, it doesn't much matter. As long as I know that every time I type cos.com into my browser search bar, I'll find something worth buying, I'll keep coming back for more. Well, lately, the frequency at which I browse COS's website has been more of a problem than an innocent behavior, and probably not for any of the reasons you're thinking. The issue? Everything is too good.

Whereas I once might find one, max two, COS items to add to my shopping cart every time I looked, lately, that number has increased dramatically. Its selection of outerwear, dresses, shoes, pants, and most of all, bags, has me spending far more than I should. I just can't resist, and the worst part is that when I receive my purchases, they're even better than they looked online, sending me back to the site to browse and creating a never-ending spending cycle. My financial advisor is not happy with me. My wardrobe, on the other hand? Thriving.

That's all to say that COS is on a hot streak this season—hell, this year—and I can't, for the life of me, understand how every new arrival that lands on the brand's site isn't already sold out. Clearly, people aren't checking as often or as thoroughly as I do, which is why I've come here to change that. Below, find all the best new COS items for summer 2025, from elegant scarf blouses to expensive-looking dresses. There's also swimwear, basics, and lots of purses (my favorite category from the brand right now). It's all just a scroll away.

Asymmetric Double-Faced Wool Top

COS

Asymmetric Double-Faced Wool Top

This gorgeous scarf top could easily be twice or even three times this price from another brand. It looks so pricey.

Drawstring Phone Pouch - Straw

COS

Drawstring Phone Pouch - Straw

I plan on really leaning into raffia bags this summer. Why not, right?

Cotton-Blend Capri Pants

COS

Cotton-Blend Capri Pants

I'm buying these capris if only to copy this exact outfit. I love the juxtaposition of a spring pant with a fall jacket.

Gathered Cotton Tank Top

COS

Gathered Cotton Tank Top

A pop of red always helps an outfit—always.

Crochet Bucket Hat

This hat will look so chic with white jeans and a fun, colorful tank this summer. It would also be great with a bikini top and linen pants for a European beach day. The possibilities are endless, I must say.

Printed Midi Wrap Skirt

COS

Printed Midi Wrap Skirt

Wow, this print is everything.

Leather Flip Flops

Especially if said skirt could be paired with these red leather flip-flops.

Draped V-Neck Maxi Dress

COS

For an even cooler look, layer a white boyfriend tee underneath.

If you've been on the hunt for flats that give heel energy, I found just the pair for you. I have them in black and wore them throughout my recent trip to Athens. They make every outfit look refined and chic, without any of the pain of heels. I also packed them for the trip I just returned from in Seoul, and they garnered tons of compliments on the city's streets.

Shop the flats:

Square-Toe Leather Court Shoes

COS

Square-Toe Leather Court Shoes

If you love these, I highly suggest buying them in cream too. That is, if they don't sell out first.

Relaxed Cotton T-Shirt

COS

Relaxed Cotton T-Shirt

COS, in my opinion, has the best tees in the game. No other brand even compares.

Tailored Linen-Blend Longline Shorts

COS

Tailored Linen-Blend Longline Shorts

I'm very into Bermuda shorts and culottes right now. They're unexpected and chic, especially in this dark-brown shade.

Column Straight-Leg Jeans

Garnet Beaded Necklace

A perfect accessory, if you ask me.

Collared Suede Jacket

COS

Collared Suede Jacket

I'll find a way to obtain this jacket. I need it with every fiber of my being.

Consider this T-shirt ordered. I want to style it with a long-sleeve underneath.

You can style these white poplin shorts in so many ways.

Embellished Triangle Bikini Top

COS

Embellished Triangle Bikini Top

Striped Pouch

Under $50 for this cute summer clutch slash makeup bag? Done!

Basically, this entire outfit is COS, from the shoes to the capris to the blazer. The blazer, especially, is such a cool statement piece, mostly because of its unusual shape and texture. It almost looks like denim, but is actually a heavy woven fabric that feels super expensive.

Shop the blazer:

Oversized Exaggerated-Shoulder Denim-Look Blazer

COS

Oversized Exaggerated-Shoulder Denim-Look Blazer

This blazer is, in fact, incredible. I get so many compliments every time I wear it.

Wide-Leg Linen Drawstring Pants

COS

Wide-Leg Linen Drawstring Pants

Ideal travel pants—lightweight, versatile, and comfy.

Bandeau Swimsuit

Those brown pants would look so chic with this green maillot for a beach day in Begur, Spain.

Scope Sunglasses - Rectangle

COS x Linda Farrow

Scope Sunglasses - Rectangle

Linda Farrow makes my favorite sunglasses, so I'm sure you already know I adore these from the brand's ongoing collab with COS.

Twist-Detail Cotton Top

COS

Twist-Detail Cotton Top

Ditch the boring tank tops already.

The second this bag arrived at my desk, I took everything out of my "before bag" and put it in here. It's been my go-to ever since, toting around all my essentials (and then some). It fits far more than it looks and because it has no visible hardware, you can pair it with gold or silver jewelry.

Shop the bag:

Mini Studio Bowling Bag - Suede

COS

Mini Studio Bowling Bag - Suede

My new every-single-day purse.

Hooded Trench Coat Cape

COS

Hooded Trench Coat Cape

Sporty and chic (and practical).

COS

Cotton Midi T-Shirt Dress

Keep this dress on hand anytime you have no idea what to wear.

Sculpted Cuff

When in doubt, add a big cuff.

Pleated Linen Maxi Dress

COS

Oversized Hand-Woven Tote Bag - Raffia

Oversized Hand-Woven Tote Bag - Raffia

A ludicrously capacious bag I can get behind.
