H&M Fall Fashion: Embrace the New Trends for 2024
As the leaves start to turn and the air becomes crisper, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with H&M’s latest fall fashion collection. This season, H&M has embraced a blend of comfort, sustainability, and bold style. Let’s dive into the key trends that will define your autumn look this year.
- Cozy Layering
Fall is all about layering, and H&M has nailed this trend with an array of versatile pieces. Think oversized sweaters, lightweight turtlenecks, and stylish jackets that can be easily mixed and matched. The key is to play with textures—combine chunky knits with sleek fabrics like satin or denim. This not only adds depth to your outfit but also keeps you warm as temperatures fluctuate.
- Earthy Tones
This season, H&M’s palette leans heavily towards earthy tones—think deep browns, muted greens, and warm rusts. These colors reflect the natural beauty of autumn and are easy to incorporate into any wardrobe. A tailored brown blazer or a forest green midi dress can become staples, allowing for effortless styling. Pair these hues with neutral accessories to keep the focus on your outfit.
- Retro Vibes
The ’70s and ’90s are back in a big way this fall. H&M’s collection features flared jeans, oversized blazers, and graphic tees that channel nostalgia. To embrace this trend, consider high-waisted flares paired with a fitted turtleneck and platform boots. Accessorizing with retro sunglasses or statement jewelry can elevate the look, giving it that perfect vintage touch.
- Sustainable Fabrics
H&M continues to prioritize sustainability, introducing a range of pieces made from recycled materials and organic cotton. This fall, look for clothing that not only feels good but is also good for the planet. Opt for their Conscious collection, which includes chic dresses and cozy outerwear crafted with eco-friendly materials. Choosing sustainable fashion helps reduce your environmental impact while still looking fabulous.
- Statement Outerwear
As the temperatures drop, statement outerwear becomes essential. H&M offers a variety of coats that blend style and functionality. From trench coats with unique cuts to puffer jackets in bold colors, these pieces can elevate any outfit. A standout coat can transform a simple jeans-and-tee ensemble into a polished look, perfect for both casual outings and more formal events.
- Textured Accessories
No fall outfit is complete without the right accessories. This season, H&M’s accessories feature rich textures and bold designs. Look for oversized scarves in chunky knits, leather bags with unique hardware, and ankle boots adorned with interesting details. These pieces not only add flair to your outfit but also keep you cozy and stylish.
- Playful Prints
While autumn is often associated with muted colors, H&M is bringing playful prints into the mix. Floral patterns, checkered designs, and abstract graphics add a fun element to your wardrobe. Consider incorporating a printed skirt or a patterned blouse into your fall collection to break up the solid colors and bring your outfits to life.
Conclusion
As we transition into fall, H&M’s 2024 fashion trends offer something for everyone, from cozy layers to bold prints and sustainable choices. Embrace the change in season by experimenting with these trends, mixing and matching to create your unique style. Whether you’re heading to the office, out with friends, or enjoying a cozy day at home, H&M has the perfect pieces to keep you looking chic and feeling comfortable all season long. Happy styling!

In Men’s:
We are all about performance fabrics. We are really going after performance polos, pants and slim fit dress shirts. We continue to highlight the men’s sweater polo in a big way. Transitioning into fall, we will continue to see what we call “The modern prep” sweater polo and the open stitch sweater polo. We will be seeing more classic prints in our 1mx dress shirts as the season progresses. Stripes, micro dots and plaids.
In Women’s:
We are really getting behind our occasion now dresses.
Women’s dress pants, our Editor pant, will continue to be our driving force and she will start to see more color choices and prints in different leg shapes as we transition to fall! Our go to knits in our body contour collection will be available in a variety of tops, tees and tanks and body suits for mix and match versatility.
The brand will still feel more on the summer side until September/October!

The Macy’s Stylists have spoken!
Whether it feels like it right now or not, Spring is springing earlier than ever this year, and we are seeing people dressed up for the sunnier weather and floral vibes already! In women’s wear, joyful Spring hues reign supreme, led by pinks, light greens, lilac, and melon, with bolder shades for your dressier occasions and muted tones for everyday wear. We are seeing a strong pull towards ultra-feminine details, like eyelets, ruffles, feminine florals, smocking, and especially bows. In accessories, we are seeing layered necklaces and bracelets with strong stone color details, and handbags and shoes with natural textures, like denim, cork, raffia, and straw. In professional wear, power-suiting is showing up hot in the form of bold monochrome looks and steely greys with bold colors popped off of it.
The men are gravitating towards strong neutral-toned pieces, featuring shades of brown, grey, and black, popped off with cool blues, yellows, and terracotta colors. Timeless layering pieces are key here, with cardigans, chore jackets, and unstructured blazers with texture. There is still a strong pull towards “quiet luxury” particularly in men’s fashion, where guys are more likely to throw down on high quality timeless pieces than they are on something trendy they may fall out of love with by next season. In footwear, we are still seeing loafers maintaining a high level of popularity that will probably continue through the rest of the year, and you can still never go wrong with a crisp polished sneaker that can be dressed up or down for versatility.
