I'm 29, and my mother is 62—if we both entered H&M right now, here’s what we would leave with…
My mom and I share many similarities, one of the most significant being our mutual passion for fashion. However, our personal styles are quite different—I lean towards a minimalist, subtle aesthetic, while she favors a more maximalist approach. Despite our contrasting preferences, I thought it would be enjoyable to ask her which items from H&M's new arrivals she found appealing to curate a selection that blends both of our styles and caters to various fashion tastes.
If you haven't checked out H&M's early fall collection yet, it's their most sophisticated and chicest collection to date. There are over 10 pages filled with high-quality basics and standout pieces for the upcoming season. Consider items like suede jackets, barn coats, plaid shirts, knee-high boots, and dark-wash jeans. So, without further delay, keep scrolling to explore and purchase our curated 18-piece selection. Remember, H&M's sought-after new arrivals tend to sell out quickly, so if something catches your eye, make sure to add it to your cart right away.
This is our top pick, but that doesn’t mean the rest of our selections aren't just as great. Don’t forget to look at the chocolate-brown option while you’re at it.
H&M
Fine-Knit Turtleneck Top
A sophisticated knit you’ll never tire of wearing.
H&M
Harper High Rise Wide Leg Jeans
We’re only interested in wearing dark-wash jeans this fall.
My mom has adored leopard print since her teenage years, so it’s no surprise that this is her top choice.
What’s not to love about this collarless leather jacket?
This color is incredibly sophisticated.
Pencil skirts used to be styled with blazers and button-ups, but now they’re often paired with casual tees and sweaters for an unexpectedly polished appearance.
So you’re saying these aren’t from Toteme? Impressive.
H&M
Jacket With Corduroy Collar
This jacket also comes in army green and khaki, but my mom and I think the navy blue looks the most luxurious.
Opt for a larger size for a more relaxed fit that will feel trendy for 2025.
Combine these with a blazer and loafers for the office, or pair with a cropped tank and slingback pointed-toe heels for a night out with friends.
Forget the adjustable long strap. Instead, use the wide top-handle to carry this bag either in the crook of your arm or in your hand.
H&M
Tie-Belt Denim Jacket
There’s something about a belted jacket that gives off a laid-back and effortless charm.
H&M
Ruffle-Trimmed Mesh Blouse
If I hadn't seen the label, I would assume this was from Chloé.
All the most stylish individuals that my mom and I know reserve their white jeans for after Labor Day.
We’re thrilled that draped dresses are here to stay, as they’re the most flattering style for any body type.
