black boots: these look just as good as in the pictures, fit tts, and leather is as good if not better than shoes for the same price (retail I mean)

white-painted boots: fit tts as well(duh) and honestly look way cooler in person than on pictures, really quite cool

white-painted jeans: these are just dope, will definitely get a pair if there are any left after christmas

camel-coat with inverted lapels: the fit on this thing is great, and construction seems nice enough

sneakers: comfy, tts, don't look as tacky as in pictures but still nowhere near the rest of the collection

fair-isle sweater: fit on this was kinda...I dunno...it didn't really look bad but it didn't fit like I had excepted it too (if you're interested in this I think you should definitely try it out first)



So yeah, this was a small round-up on the things I tried on, will go to stockholm on saturday so they may have a bigger selection there (especially hoping for the white leather-jacket), more impressions will follow in that case

Please enlighten me on buying a full, well rounded wardrobe at full retail as a student, I'm very curious to hear how you do it.
While COS certainly isn't expensive as designer goods, considering the conversion rate the prices fall around most mid range brands that are popular here. And considering it is a rather large brand with a number of stores, I half expected there to be decent sales in the coming months and it made little sense to me to buy things now which could be had in a month's time for 30% less. Also, I'm not sure COS would quite fall under the category of "fast fashion" like H&M, All Saints etc, as it implies a cheapness in construction and material and a lack of ingenuity in design. COS imo has quite high quality stuff, and some of their designs are pretty damn cool and somewhat novel (I handled a lot of their pieces during my stint in the EU).
