Cos's rounded cashmere crew neck sweater, an annual bestseller, has returned for autumn, offering a high street alternative to The Row's luxury knit at a fraction of the price.
The sweater costs £220 and is 100 per cent cashmere, while The Row's Ophelia style retails at £1,440. The Cos version features a ribbed round neckline, drop shoulders, and a chunky cashmere composition, making it near-identical to the designer piece.
A polished autumn drop
The high street label's new collection includes belted jackets (£169), classic trench coats (£199), and long-sleeve layering basics (£55), all available at Cos.com. The pieces aim to ease shoppers out of summer in style as cooler weather approaches.
The sweater is designed with saddle seams, ribbed trims, and an exaggerated neckline, offering shape and structure. Colour options include grey, brown, and dark green, which pair well with winter neutrals.
The Row comparison
The Row's Ophelia sweater has reached cult status among fashion enthusiasts, known for its oversized cut, weighty wool and cashmere composition, and bell-shaped sleeves. It is described as having more structural integrity than most knits.
The Cos sweater is positioned as a winter essential to invest in now and return to year after year, providing a more affordable option for those seeking a similar aesthetic.
