It’s November, which means it’s official: winter is here. The leaves may still be clinging on, but the mild chill has shifted into something far sharper, and with it, my wardrobe priorities have changed. I’m looking for thicker layers, cosy (faux) fur, and pieces with that subtle festive edge—not full sequins, but quiet embellishment, rich textures and knits that feel celebration-adjacent. The one high-street brand that consistently delivers on that exact brief? H&M.
This is the stretch of the season where H&M gets genuinely good. The fabrics get richer, the shapes get sharper, and the styling becomes more about attitude than trend. You’ll find mohair knits with interesting proportions, faux-fur textures that instantly make a look feel intentional, and tailoring that feels grown up. And, one thing that H&M does better than anyone is elevated, expensive-looking basics.
Since I spend all day in the new-in section, I’ve already done the heavy lifting. I’m the friend my group chat relies on for shopping recommendations, so when I was asked, "What's worth shopping at H&M this month?" I got straight to work. I’ve clicked through every single piece and pulled out the gems; the rich textures, clever cut-outs, sculptural knits, party-tinged basics, the things that will actually shift how your winter wardrobe feels. Keep scrolling to shop the H&M November pieces I’d immediately add to my basket.
