What's new in H&M? The 'late summer' and some autumn collection has already been in store. Apart from the basics like sweaters and hoodies, there are new tees and jackets that I think is worth trying coz they look kinda unique. That includes this black t-shirt with embellished shoulders. Now studded clothing has become a major fad in highstreet fashion, from Topman that did their recent AAA collection to Uniqlo and River Island.
This H&M tee has brass-colored studs on the shoulder which probably inspired by the Burberry 'buttons epaulettes' jackets for Fall/Winter 2010. The fit is quite ok, but I hate the sleeves coz they're too wide open. Too buzzlightyear to me. So, that's not good for anyone with the arms to sleeves ratio equals to half! (i.e: arms: sleeves = 1:2, :D)
There's a blue marl t-shirt which is supposed to be having a cowl neck. But I think there's something wrong with this tee coz everything about it is just falling apart. The fit is not good, the material felt very cheap and the cowl neck doesn't seem to be 'cowled' properly. Bettr buy the one from Asos coz they're much better.
Ready for a dash of rock star? Then this jacket probably could play the role. One part military, one part rock'n'roll, one part hi-fashion. I would say this one as the 'highstreet high fashion' with the slimfitting figure and the multi-zippered pockets on both sides. (Multi zippered also being done at Zara, apparently). The material is quite ok given that it's synthetic mix. The drop is just right to give that little edge to the look.
Everyone need at least a pair of biker jacket in their wardrobe, right? If last fall/winter H&M did the leather version of asymmetric biker jacket, this time around they went down a notch by giving you the pleather. Apart from the hardware which I think felt so cheapo and the epaulette that is supposed to be ditched; the fit is awesome. And the design is much better than the one Uniqlo did last year. Since it's synthetic material, the price is kept down below £30.
