The COS sale just got insanely good

Whilst the Zara sale is always an obvious choice when it comes to stocking up on trend-led pieces, I like to head to COS to pick up my more classic pieces, those I'll be likely to wear for seasons to come.

And my ultimate hack to finding the best bargains is waiting until the end of the sale period, when the discounts are just too good to believe.

Of course, it's a bit of a gamble, because if you've got your eye on a particular piece, you risk it going out of stock or selling out in your size if you wait too long.

But the key is to go in with an open mind, and you might just find gems such as cotton dresses for £30, loungewear for £20, and classic knitwear for less than £50.

COS have made the search easier for you as well, since it's sorted all its discounted items in its 'Archive Sale' section, and all you need to do is click on your size at the top to filter the items. Here are some of the best bargains I've found in the sale, you can thank me later.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
