Hannah Lewis wearing sold out H&M wool-blend coat.
When it comes to planning, I'm usually last minute I often book flights a few days before I go away, for example but my one exception? Shopping. Fashion is always steps ahead (we've already seen what's coming up for spring/summer 2025), so when it comes to my new season wish list, it pays to be organised. We can all see, and shop, what everyone else is wearing through Insta, so often this leads to the best bits selling out first. And after my dream H&M Studio maxi coat selling out before I could get it last year, I'm not willing to let this happen again for 2024. Which is why I'm skipping jackets, and already planning which coat I'm going to be buying instead. I've been shopping a lot of my autumn pieces from H&M (it's SO good right now), so of course this was my first destination to look for some of the most expensive-looking outerwear on the high street, and I wasn't disappointed.
White I love the barn jackets and suede offerings coming through, it's the wool-blend and maxi coats I'm most interesting in securing before they sell out much like Hannah Lewis' It style from 2023. After trawling through all 496 H&M coats (there's actually 792 now Arket, COS and co. are also all on site), I found the 4 styles that I would happily add to my forever coat collection. But I cannot stress this enough they will sell out, so be as quick as you can.
