If I wear tall I'd rock it in a heartbeat. I'm short and it would drag on the ground.
I'd buy it.
It' stands out, and I love deepest blue. A midnight blue really.
What color is your hair?

I think it is fantastic, but I am not tall enough to wear a coat like that.

Whiskeypowers · 13/01/2024 15:36

I love that coat @TurquoiseTurtoise

astarsheis · 13/01/2024 17:12

I love COS but find that their coats just swamp me. I'm 5'2 and size 8 so have never managed to buy one of their oversized coats despite liking the look.
That particular coat has a bit too much going on for me.

How old do you think the model is? I would say she is 18 to 23.im 55and wear cos so am aware of their usual demographic this model is not it

Are you seriously saying you only buy clothes where the model is your age and size? What an odd comment

It looks like a pin-stripe dressing gown with a matching scarf. Although it's not cheap, it'd have to be four times the price to have a chance of looking good in spite of being a pin-stripe dressing gown.

OH DEAR LORD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!!!!

These coats are BEAUTIFUL.

I want them all.

My coat got stolen at the start of the winter so I’ve been nicking DP’s big shabby coat.

I am treating myself to one of these. (Note to self - do not buy them all).

Thank you so much for this recommendation!

NigelHarmansNewWife · 14/01/2024 10:47

It looks lovely, but as with lots of Cos stuff, you have to be 1. Tall and 2. Slim. I'd look ridiculous at 5'4" and a size 14.

Cavewomansue · 14/01/2024 10:55

I think it’s spectacular (don’t own so this is on aesthetics alone). But I thought the rainsisters coat up thread was awful so we may have different tastes as I think you liked that?

Cos have an Aline Greige coat at the moment which I really really like. However I cannot justify another coat at the mo. There were also some nice ones in the Toast sale.

TurquoiseTurtoise · 14/01/2024 11:06

The coat arrived and it is nice but the style does not suit me. I’m 5’5 between size 8-10. Ordered XS and that it was a good fit but the style is overwhelming.
Agree that only suit very tall women but not necessarily slim imho

Moved on to an AllSaints coat which is very minimalist and ‘clean’ - I have a thread about it here.

I prefer this one to the All Saints one but they are both lovely. I just bought the COS dress that is very similar to the coat. I find the sizing frustrating. A S is too big but an XS will likely be too tight on top.

CharmianGardiner · 14/01/2024 14:22

I appreciate the follow up. I thought you'd get lost in it unless you were a big woman.

Howmanyroses · 14/01/2024 17:54

Scarf coats are in right now. I like the shape, but don't like the pinstipes - not versatile enough

corkystclair · 14/01/2024 18:49

holy shit that's divine. I totally want one but won't as I already own multiple things that give that vibe. You've got to love being a Cape Type Woman though. Do you like stalking into a room preferably with audible shoes and have your clothes follow you 3 seconds later? Do you pontificate like a champ? Do you give Tilda/Blanchett vibes? Match made in heaven. If you aren't any of those things and you love it, though, then it could also be for you because you love it. I'd say you'd have to try on though either way. I love all my shit from cos but you've 100% got to try on first as it's all either great or odd. The silvery nature of the pinstripe would have to be seen in person. Could be perfect, could be late 90s Portmans.

My best friend has it, it's beautiful!

Way too long for me and overwhelming for my frame but it is lovely! You must buy😉

Don't tempt me!! ;)

Fraaahnces · 18/01/2024 11:21

While I like it, you would need to be statuesque to carry it off, and I am not certain that it wouldn’t look dated very quickly. Is the scarf bit removable? That might make it more versatile and last longer.

EllaPaella · 18/01/2024 13:40

Gorgeous coat. Personally I know I'd find it a faff to wear and all the extra layers would annoy me but it's a beautiful coat and I'd admire it a lot on someone else.

tillyandmilly · 25/01/2024 19:46

I love COS - the coat is fab - looks really chic and expensive!

WinterLobelia · 26/01/2024 12:54

I like it. But as I am 5 ft 1 and 13 stone I'd look like a fat sheep. If you are (much) taller I would certainly admire it on you.
