It wouldn’t be winter without a shift towards deeper, moodier colours. Burgundy, chocolate brown and forest green are all on the cards, but there are some other players worth having on your radar if you’re seeking a tonal refresh.
You don’t have to look far to spot them. Now we’re in December, brands have wholly embraced the key shades of the season—and the high-street heroes we rely on for affordable trend pieces are leading the way. H&M, in particular, continues to impress, offering a tantalising selection of on-trend items that look much more luxurious than their price tags suggest.
Five standout colours are currently taking over the new-in section—from timeless neutrals to unexpected pastels—and I’ve rounded up the most stylish examples of each to make your shopping experience even more effortless. Keep scrolling to see the top winter colour trends you can find at H&M right now.

Style Notes: A year after Barbiecore’s peak, a new shade of pink is taking centre stage. This time, it’s a soft, blush tone with a subtle hint of lilac. H&M is championing this fresh hue, pairing it with grounding shades like charcoal, brown and black for a sophisticated contrast.
