Chic, Easy, Effortless, and Under $300—This Brand Is So Underrated

As the sole fashion industry member of most of my friend groups, you bet I get asked a lot of questions. Out of all the requests that I get asked, the one I hear the most just so happens to be related to the workplace wardrobe. Despite most of us being catapulted into the era of work from home, there’s still a need for that big interview, pitch meeting, or team reunion, which may be over Zoom, that my friends are dressing up for. And the reason they come to me is that they don’t want to break the bank and I know all the sites that can help you look good on a budget.

This is why I almost always send them to Cos. The entire site is heaven for anyone who is looking to build upon their wardrobe staples and add a few more. Pretty much every item can be worn in an infinite number of ways and versatility is the #1 thing that I look for when it comes to fashion. That and impeccable style. I find their pieces to be so wearable and everything I’ve purchased from them has matched the quality of the designer pieces that hang in my closet. If the look you’re going for is super luxe on a budget, like my friends, I know exactly where I’m sending you. Straight to the 32 spring-friendly picks below, enjoy.
