Cos Sizing?

I'm a standard 12 in places like M&S so what size should I order from Cos? I've heard they come up really big?

I’m a size 10 and wear size 8-10 or XS or S.

It depends on the garment. I was in the store today and tried size 8 in two pairs of trousers. One was too small, the other fitted. For tops, most Cos styles are oversized so for me (size 10) I wear a size S in Cos.

M&S are generous sizing so I guess a size 12 would be the equivalent t of 12-14 in Cos?

I find European sizing ie 36, 38 etc quite accurate.
Small, medium and large is anyone’s guess! I have dresses ranging from XS to L and they all fit!

They are big round the waist but don't cut for large bum/thighs/upper arms so best for apples in my experience.

Sizing is on the generous side.

It's also worth noting that COS now accept payment by Klarna which enables you to buy now, pay later. I've taken advantage of this to order several sizes and only pay for what I keep.

I'd think S or M depending on style.

I'm a 12/14 and wear an M in fitted styles (dresses) but loose styles drown me.

Their tops are usually oversized so maybe go down one size. Their fitted trousers are true to size. I disagree about them being designed for apples. I'm pear shaped and the trousers are a good fit.

I'm an apple and can't get the largest size trousers to do up. So I don't think their bottoms are apple-friendly. Same goes for Arket, sadly.

I stand corrected Grin They're not 'me' friendly Wink
