A sleek layering piece. This padded vest is reimagined with open sides and a tie belt that is intricately threaded through the back for a clean, minimal finish.
A brand whose aesthetic has been so influential that it’s hard to remember what went before. But when COS launched in 2007 against a backdrop of fast, trend-led fashion, its focus on minimal pieces at accessible prices was a breakthrough moment. With a focus on style over trend, it heralded a new era for interesting, modern, considered design and changed our wardrobes for the better, forever.
Who What Wear Acting Assistant Editor, Joy Montgomery says: “Their selling point lies in their ability to sit invisibly underneath coats, and, thanks to an adjustable neckline, they can even work with undone jackets and blazers (as seen below). Once I wore it out, I never turned back. Suddenly, I could wear my favourite shirts and light knits in winter without having to pile on bulky layers. Plus, if you need any further reason to make the investment, stylish A-lister Katie Holmes was spotted out and about this January with her own layering gilet—clearly I'm not the only one who is a quilted vest convert”. 15 January 2021.
