H&M's rib-knit top sold out in 2022.

When it comes to shopping on the high street, H&M is arguably one of the most reliable retailers to turn to. Yes, there’s still a long way to go to making the brand a more sustainable, responsible place to shop (as with all fast fashion brands). But if you’re out there looking for stylish basics and design-led pieces with an affordable price tag to wear on repeat, it’s tough to beat.

In fact, H&M is one of the best-selling brands onBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK. No doubt because, like us, you love an expensive-looking high street find. But also because you appreciate a wardrobe staple as much as us—and that’s what H&M does best. This much became clear when we did a little digging into H&M’s best-selling items of 2022 and we discovered that thousands (literally thousands) of you invested in their ribbed vest tops, white shirts and classic black wide leg trousers, among other classics.

I've worn my H&M wide trousers on repeat this year. 

Most of the pieces that made it onto the list of the best pieces below are tried and tested basics backed by our editors, and some even have a reputation industry-wide for being the very best affordable wardrobe buys (which probably explains the huge sales numbers). More importantly, though, they’re also backed by your fellow readers who ordered these pieces in droves over the past year. Thinking about it, you probably own some of them already. But if not, you’re in luck as most are amazingly still in stock. Whether you’re just curious what made the list or you're looking to make some wise affordable buys as we head into the new year, keep scrolling to see and shop the fifteen best-selling H&M buys of 2022…

1. Ribbed Vest Top

If you've been lucky enough to try H&M's nearly-always-sold-out ribbed tank tops, you'll understand why they were the brand's biggest seller this year. This small but mighty wardrobe essential is known in the industry for being the best on the high street (and better than some designer versions too). I have one in basically every colour. 

2. Wide Trousers

Thousands (literally) of H&M's wide trousers were sold throughBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing this year and it makes total sense. They come in a few different iterations and colours and are probably the most versatile wardrobe item you can find. 

3. Oversized Cotton Shirt

Of course, a white shirt is a classic and this one is darn near perfect. 

4. Cotton T-Shirt

Like usBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors, you love to find the best basics and this white T-shirt is the perfect example. 

5. Rib-Knit Dress

H&M's rib-knit dresses are synonymous in the industry with being comfy, chic and excellent value. 

6. Ankle-Length Trousers

These trousers flew out of stock when they first arrived. Probably because they're a really easy shape to style (they go with so many shoes), and they make your outfits look polished. Luckily they're now back in stock in multiple colours. 

7. Tailored Trousers

By now we all know how great H&M wide-leg trousers are, so it's no surprise to see another smart version make this list. 

8. Wide High Jeans

In case you needed proof that looser wide jeans were the style to own right now, these were H&M's most popular pair in 2022. 

9. Rib-Knit Jumper

Sweetheart necklines reigned supreme in 2022, and this flattering knit was the hero buy. It's just come back in stock, and in more colour combinations too. 

10. Oversized Polo-Neck Jumper

Simple, cosy and cute. There's no wonder this knit sold out straight away. A few sizes have been restocked since, but probably not for long. 

11. Single-Breasted Jacket

Everyone can benefit from a classic blazer in their capsule wardrobe, and as usual H&M provides a great option at an affordable price. 

12. Wool-Blend Coat

H&M's classic wool-blend coats have always been some of their very best pieces. This year's version comes in a few different colours, and has proven just as popular as ever. 

13. Fine-Knit Cashmere Jumper

H&M cashmere is a bit of an industry secret. It lasts well, and more importantly doesn't break the bank.
