I was recently working on a story about the best H&M shoes to buy right now, and I was actually overwhelmed by how many beautiful sweaters I came across. I knew that H&M excelled in the knitwear department during the colder months, but the retailer has really outdone itself this year.
Between the cozy alpaca and cashmere options, chic cardigans, balloon-sleeve knits, and printed sweaters, there's so much to choose from, both classic and trend-forward. But it was my ultimate goal to find the sweaters that looked the most expensive, which wasn't hard to do. I came across a plethora of knitwear options that could easily pass as designer and that no one would believe are actually fast fashion. Ready to see the proof?
