The COS Leather Coat and Plaid Shirt That’ll Sell Out By October 1

Though there was plenty of fall 2025 inspiration on the catwalk at COS’s New York Fashion Week show this weekend, what stuck with me most from the event, held at Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse in Brooklyn, were two specific COS items that didn’t make it onto the runway. Instead, they were both released ahead of the official fall/winter 2025 collection and were worn by a bevy of chic attendees. Now, I’m predicting a quick and thorough sell-out of the two popular pieces. What were they? Keep reading.

The first was COS’s Checked Flannel Shirt, which comes in both tan and blue plaid. All of the above were represented on guests at Sunday’s show. Plaid shirts have been rising in the ranks of fashion this year, but most of the options on the market are expensive—like really, really expensive. COS’s two options are priced under $150, but look just as luxurious as their designer alternatives. And I’m not the only person who thinks so. I heard the like from at least five of the people seated around me. At the warehouse presentation, I saw the shirt styled in various ways, with WWW editor Anna Laplaca wearing hers with a knee-length, tobacco-colored suede skirt.
