Stock moves fast at H&M. Just when you think you’ve got all the time in the world to mull over those great knee-high boots, a premium tailored coat or The Row-inspired handbag, it’s gone.
Now, this isn’t to say that I condone panic buying—I really don’t. However, if you feel instantly attracted to an item, can already plot all of the ways you’ll wear it on repeat, and it chimes with your personal style and the contents of your wardrobe, then I would say it’s sensible not to dilly dally.
Recently, we’ve seen the Scandi high-street brand upping its game. H&M’s bag offering, for example, has dramatically improved to include more elevated leather totes with hardware and detailing that feels more considered than in years before. We’ve seen a swing towards minimalist tailoring, and an increase in more luxurious knits and tonal separates that come together to assemble a chic, hard-working wardobe.
The latest drops are full of party-season pieces, but look beyond the sequins and you’ll see some early signs of big hitters for 2025. I spent a not-insignificant amount of time in the new-in section to provide you with an edit of items that I don’t think will stick around… Happy perusing!
