COS (Collection of Style) is H&M Group's minimalist label, launched on London's Regent Street in March 2007 and still guided by design director Karin Gustafsson, who joined at its founding. It sells architectural tailoring, oversized knitwear, leather bags and muted wardrobe staples, with the twice-yearly Atelier capsule reaching luxury-level fabrics and prices. COS has shown at New York Fashion Week each season since 2022 and staged its spring/summer 2026 collection in a Seoul bathhouse. Expansion continues into India, the US and Mexico while parent H&M trims stores elsewhere.

Does Cos run big or small?

Cos runs large. Most people are happiest sizing down one from their usual size, especially in tops and outerwear, unless you specifically want the oversized look. COS is widely described as cutting generously and architecturally, so garments usually feel a size larger and looser than the label suggests, though fit can vary noticeably between seasonal collections and between 'relaxed' and 'slim' labelled styles.
