H&M womenswear AW12, absolute beauty!

So I was out with a friend shopping yesterday and as we browsed through H&M I couldn't help but notice how inspirational their autumn/winter collection was! I couldn't wait to blog about it. So I'm going to get straight into it with showing you the beautiful pieces.

This is stunning, the jacket is a take on a typical biker jacket, H&M have also taken inspiration from the 60's by looks of it with the crop of the jacket and big shoulders. It compliments the high waisted trousers well as both dominant colours are the same. The trousers are beautiful, the material is unusual and totally new, with the slim fit and heels this outfit is a winner!

This is another stunner, H&M have really pulled it out of the bag here, we have never seen a silhouette this unusual, the only down side is this look would only suit one body type. The pattern of the leggings gives the look dimension, the jacket is extremely original, I love the Zebra type pattern in dark blue and black. Gives a great mix up to any autumn/winter outfit.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of the leggings, I feel the floral pattern is a little bit last season, however with that said the roll neck is a MUST for any fashionista this season! The pattern on the polo neck is replicated in the leggings in the look shown above, it isn't all over the jumper and is just enough for a real impact. The pearl and chain collar is a big statement piece to break up the long neck of the jumper. Very well done H&M!

This is a love/hate outfit for me. I love the t-shirt, the shorts, the clutch and the gloves but the middle finger up on the t-shirt just isn't classy at all. The detailing on the sleeves is great, it gives a real shine and glitz to the whole look and the pearl and chain collar is seen again here and compliments the neck of the t-shirt well. the shorts are a gorgeous material and catch the light well to show the subtle detailing, shorts are big this season too, yes even with winter coming. The clutch is practical and original, what more could a girl want eh?

Once again, H&M have pulled off a great collection, I feel the women's aw12 collection is very different to the men's. Both collection have obvious inspiration from the 60's though which I feel connects them well.

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
