Secondhand brand guide
Secondhand COS
COS (Collection of Style) is H&M Group's elevated minimalist label, known for clean lines, considered proportions and a muted palette. Pieces are designed to outlast trends, which makes them one of the most rewarding brands to buy pre-owned.
Why buy COS secondhand
Because COS leans on timeless shapes and durable natural fabrics — wool, cotton, linen — older-season pieces look almost identical to current collections. Buying secondhand gets you the same quality at a fraction of retail, and many sellers list barely-worn items.
What to look for
- Check wool and knitwear for pilling under the arms and at the cuffs.
- COS sizing runs generous and boxy — size down if you want a closer fit.
- Look for the COS woven label; the fabric composition tag confirms natural fibres.
- Structured pieces (coats, blazers) should hold their shape — avoid items that look collapsed.
Best known for
Minimalist knitwear, structured coats, clean-lined trousers.
Secondhand price guide
Expect £20–60 secondhand for items that retail at £55–150 new. Coats and leather pieces sit at the higher end.
