COS's New York Fashion Week Hits: The Croc-Embossed Leather Coat and Checked Flannel Shirt
The recent New York Fashion Week (NYFW) show by COS saw a standout moment with the COS Croc-Embossed Leather Coat taking the spotlight as the unofficial street style star of the day. This chocolate-brown heavy-duty leather coat, with its unique croc-embossed finish, has been turning heads and quickly selling out.
Another popular item from COS's NYFW collection is the scarf-detail silk top and a draped checked midi skirt, both of which were announced and presented during the weekend event.
The COS Croc-Embossed Leather Coat, priced slightly higher than most COS outerwear, has been styled with various items such as knee-high boots, black bags, tights, kitten heels, shift dresses, animal-print heels, and a folio oversized bag in croc-effect leather. On the other hand, the COS Checked Flannel Shirt, priced under $150, comes in two colorways, tan and blue plaid, and has been spotted on attendees at COS's NYFW show.
Eliza Huber, an NYC-based senior fashion editor who specializes in trend reporting, brand discovery, and the intersection of sports and fashion, has been keeping a close eye on these items. Huber, who joined the platform in 2021 from Refinery29, has launched two columns, "Let's Get a Room" and "Ways to Wear", and has profiled several celebrities such as Dakota Fanning, Diane Kruger, Katie Holmes, Gracie Abrams, and Sabrina Carpenter.
In addition to the COS pieces, other fall finds worth mentioning include a fall wishlist of 34 Zara new arrivals curated by a Gen Zer, and a list of 34 standout fall finds that resulted from an hour spent browsing Nordstrom's new arrivals.
Interestingly, plaid shirts have been rising in fashion this year, and COS's options are more affordable than designer alternatives. Emily Ratajkowski and Anna LaPlaca, a WWW editor, have been spotted wearing the COS Checked Flannel Shirt with various outfits. LaPlaca paired it with a knee-length, tobacco-colored suede skirt.
Jennifer Lawrence has also been spotted wearing a styling hack for making "boring" jeans-and-tee outfits look chic this fall, which could be a popular trend. Laura Harrier has been frequently carrying a timeless The Row bag, although it is not a Margaux bag.
As we look forward to spring 2026, NYFW predicts six trends that are expected to be popular. One of these trends is a skirt trend that is predicted to upend leather in fall 2025, appearing sophisticated, hyper-elegant, and expensive-looking.
It seems that COS is setting the pace for fall fashion with their stylish and affordable offerings. Whether you're looking for a statement coat or a versatile flannel shirt, COS has got you covered. Stay tuned for more trend updates from COS and other fashion brands.
