We repeat… do not buy anything for your A/W wardrobe until you’ve seen H&M's glorious new-in section. From great everyday basics to luxe-looking partywear, they’re giving your wardrobe the elevated upgrade it deserves, all on a budget.
We’ve finally reached the season of crisp mornings, pumpkin spice lattes and an excuse to get into bed earlier. But with the change in weather, inevitably comes a wardrobe overhaul.
We recommend starting with key versatile pieces such as oversized blazers,snuggly jumpers and chunky boots that can work as part of your work uniform or be dressed down for a wholesome Sunday stroll with the fam.
We know how busy this season can be and no one has the time to scroll for hours on end looking for a new dress. To save you the hassle so you can get back to watching Married At First Sight UK, team heat has carefully selected the best bits worth buying this season. We all know how quickly H&M sells out, so be quick…
What to buy from H&M this autumn

“I adore a pair of wide leg trousers, and this black pair from H&M are super versatile. Not only are they perfect for the office thanks to their tailored design, but they could be easily paired with halter neck blouses and kitten heels for date night.”

“You can never have too many pairs of jeans and besides they’re the one thing in your wardrobe that will last forever and never go out of style. And right now, everyone is going crazy for the turn ups and what a steal at just £29.99, grab them in dark or light denim blue.”

Lace tights

“Anything burgundy is automatically going in my basket this autumn, so these tights are a must. Swap out your basic black tights for these burgundy lace ones to create an elevated look with an unexpected pop of colour.”

“It’s official: coat season has arrived and if, like me, you’re always complaining about the cold then you’ll want to get hold of his cosy cover-up. The longline length will instantly make my everyday outfits look ultra-luxe, while the self-tie belt will help to show off my figure. Best of all, it feels super heavy and warm, which is ideal for a cold gal like me.”

Mini skirt

“I live in lep, and this cheeky mini-skirt is just the ticket for a lep lover like me. In summer, its can-see-your-lunch length would be off-putting but, paired with the thickest of black tights it’s practically demure.”

“There’s something about a matching beige pyjamas set that just screams boujee vibes. Either wear them to bed or wear them when you’re working from home – either way, they give off chilled, comfy and cosy vibes.”

“I'm all about classic-yet-fun pieces I can add to my capsule wardrobe this season and I can't stop thinking about this old-money style top complete with puffy balloon sleeves. Gorj.”
Chosen by Samantha Price, Senior Commercial Content Writer

"I love to wear outfits with softer, romantic details and thought this floral jumper would balance out some of the boxier styles you often see across autumn/winter. I recently wore this on a trip to Edinburgh and it kept me warm and cosy. The floral applique is so unique and one I'm looking forward to wearing again and again. Definitely a bit of me!"

“I absolutely love how unbelievably cosy this jumper is from H&M. It’s made from a mohair blend so it’ll keep you warm during the colder winter months and comes in six different shades and patterns.”
10.
Chelsea boots
Chosen by Ella Shire, Content Creator (Life & Style)
www2.hm.com
“The Chelsea is the classic A/W boot that practically goes with everything, they’re an all-season must-have. Autumn? Wear them with a coloured skirt co-ord and oversized blazer. Winter? Opt for a slip dress, tights and a woollen coat. It’s an investment you won’t regret.”
Chosen by Lucy Brown, Content Creator (Life & Style)

“This coated black trench is giving all The Matrix vibes, and we’re obsessed. You could chuck this coat over just about anything and look automatically chic and put together – definitely what we need when it comes to winter dressing.”
Chosen by Cigdem Tanrioglu, Content Editor (Style & Lifestyle)
www2.hm.com
“If there is one trend I’m living for this season, it has got to be the floaty boho look – and this sheer dress is great for nailing the Sienna Miller-esque look. Inspired by the Chloé catwalk, it features everything I could want from a dress: lots of frills and ruffles in a super cute peachy shade. I’ll be wearing mine with knee-high boots and plenty of layered necklaces. I’m obsessed.”
Chosen by Georgina Terry, Group Managing Editor

“This playsuit will work for, well, work and play. You could rock it in the office and then slink off to a bar quite happily. Although, tbh, we could do that whatever we were wearing. It has a hint of a sparkle which is the dopamine dressing we need at this grey time of year.”

Rib-knit dress
Chosen by Eden-Olivia Lord, Deputy Editor
www2.hm.com
“I saw this dress on TikTok recently and it’s exactly what everyone has said - it suits everyone. It’s the perfect fit and length for autumn and it’s available in five different colours, so you’ll definitely find one you love. As it’s getting colder, you can wear it with tights and boot and then you’re good to go.”

Twill blazer
Chosen by Aimee Jakes, Trending Content Editor

“I love the structured fit of this could-be-designer brown blazer and love the affordable price even more.”
Chosen by Samantha Price, Senior Commercial Content Writer
www2.hm.com
"This jumper has become a new staple in my autumn/winter wardrobe, and I absolutely love the colour of this jumper - it's so on trend for the season. It features a roll neck you can wear up or down and can be styled with so many pieces, be it a leather skirt or a pair of jeans. Wear with brown knee-high boots for the ultimate autumn outfit."
