H&M men's AW12 collection

H&M has taken a whole new direction with this seasons collection. They have incorporated lots of colour to brighten up this autumn/winter! Also the pairing of bright contrasting colours is another technique H&M have used this season. Also the older trend of browns and gingham blazers has also found its way into H&M's AW12 collection.

When you say autumn/winter to somebody not only do we think of leaves falling from the trees and crisp snow not plum blazers, tan roll necks and green trousers. But H&M make this look work, and it works well! The double breast plum blazer is a new colour for this season, it goes well with the tan roll neck. Roll necks and blazers is a old favourite combination and H&M have revived it in this look.

This look is my favourite of the bunch. It isn't a new trend for this season, this type of blazer paired with gingham has been popular for some time now and it has not lost any of that popularity with H&M's autumn/winter 2012 collection. The gingham scarf sets off yet finishes the look well, which is hard to master. Simple details like the checked shirt you can see a glimpse of at the cuff, and the what looks like leopard print pocket square are small but still just as fundamental to the look as the blazer.

This look is preppy and wonderful! Again H&M have mixed two very vibrant colours, the mustard yellow and the red, and have once again made it work well! The fact that the burgundy roll neck is of the same colour spectrum as the red means that this blazer paired with the jumper looks clean and trendy. The slightly slim fit to the trouser gives it another modern spin on a usually wintery look. Finally the mustard coloured sweater vest will give that extra bit of warmth this season along with a great pop of colour in small  portions

All in all H&M have made a full U-turn in the fashion world and redeemed themselves in my books, remember this is only my opinion! Thanks for reading
