Now that cold weather is officially here, it's high time that we started talking about a few winter fashion essentials. These are the kinds of pieces that you rely on day in and day out when you either don't know what to wear or don't want to spend too much time putting together an outfit in the morning. And when you're redoing your wardrobe, you're not going to want to do it with a bunch of pieces that are going to cost you a ton of money—especially during the gift shopping season.
Enter H&M, the retailer known for its selection of affordable and stylish pieces. I basically always find what I'm looking for at the store. And because the brand has so many new pieces in stock right now, I've rounded up 29 of the best winter shopping essentials from H&M that you simply need to see before they sell out. Keep scrolling to see all of the cutest picks—from glittery jumpsuits to a few trendy cutout trousers.
