Which leads me to fill you in on my latest winning H&M find: the Oversized Wool-Blend Coat. This piece honestly made me gasp when I saw it appear during my daily H&M check in, and I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. Minimalist, slouchy, buttery soft and in the most rich-looking colour you can wear for autumn: camel. Heaven—and yes, you can bet I took it straight to the checkout before you all make it sellout within hours. No one, and I mean no one you encounter when wearing this is going to believe it’s from H&M (but everyone’s going to ask where you got it). It also comes in a smart grey, a classic colour we saw all over the AW23 catwalks. As the name suggests, it does look oversized (although the model is wearing a Medium), so I sized down with that in mind—but I do think a slightly exaggerated silhouette is actually the key to making high street buys look more elevated and designer-like.
What makes it a great purchase at this point in the year is that due to it’s cropped hem, you’ll get plenty of wear out of it during the spring months when your full-length winter coat feels too cumbersome and high-coverage.
