BRAND EDIT: COS
We asked you which shop you'd all love for this week's brand edit and there was a huge number of replies and you all wanted Cos. This was music to my ears as I'm also a big fan. I went a visited the shop, took a load of stuff into the changing room,and then went home and did my homework. I go through all the patterns in more detail in the video or scroll down to see what I found.

We had to start with a shirt, and this boxy oversized shape came in lots of colour ways. The Assembly Line oversized shirt felt like a great option with very similar proportions.
This was one of the pieces I tried on in the shop, I thought that the Fibremood Gabriella would be a good starting point to make this, you might need to size up so make if feel more boxy.
The elasticated barrel leg trouser is something I'm sure is going to be popular this summer so make a head start with the Matchy Matchy Archer. Just leave off the pockets and it's a great match.
I saw lots of lovely pea coat options in Cos and fell hard for this grey version. The Bella Loves Kaia is such great option and check out those amazing darts at the collar.
Another shape I tried on in the shop, this boxy rugby top. Made in a heavyweight cotton it was in between a top and a jumper. The Pippa from Juliana Martejevs would we a great option but might need to be sized up to make it more boxy.
You can't beat a good boxy t-shirt and as soon as I saw this I thought of the Tessuti Avoca, which was a pretty close match.
Now we move onto dresses, loved this boxy shirt dress and the Warbrobe By Me big shirt is a great option.
Another great shirt dress was this pop over style and the Fabric Godmother Aspen is a dead ringer for it.
I've seen this shape dress is quite a few high street shops so thought it was worth a mention. The Named Loviisa would work well if you lengthened it a little.
Another popover style shirt dress! This one has quite a bit of volume in it which could easily be added to the Merchant and Mills Scout.
A classic mac that will never go out of style. I love the proportion of the pockets on the Cos jacket. The Papercut Eliza would be a fantastic option to recreate this.
Last but no least this super sweatshirt, I loves the shape of the sleeves and tried on a knitted jumper in the same shape that I loved. The Closet Core Mile End would be a fab if you wanted to make it as it has the seam at the top of the sleeve too.
I really hope you enjoyed my little edit from Cos. Which brand would you like me to do next?
