COS Gives Us A Much-Needed Autumn Chill

Fall clothes are a hard sell when it's still 90 degrees in the shade of a Prospect Park elm, and Mister Softee's siren song calls to us from every corner. But, for a moment, close your eyes (preferably in front of an air conditioner), cast your mind forward a few months to crisp, autumn air, and remember how life-givingly good it feels to slip into something thick and cozy on a chilly morning.

Do we have you in a pumpkin-latté type of mood yet? Good — you'll want to stay there while you take a peek at COS' fall 2014 collection. Starring Guinevere Van Seenus in all her icy perfection, the campaign is full of lovely, softly structured overcoats, '90s Jil Sander-esque polo knits, and nubby sweaters we want to hibernate in.

The pieces with be available to shop on August 22 at COS — but click on for a bracing dose of autumnal goodness right now.
