H&M – PREMIUM
If ever I want a cool oversized designer looking coat or a bit of affordable cashmere the first place I look is H&M Premium.
This minimalistic collection is added to throughout the year and gives all the designer fabrics, think wool coats and cashmere blend knits with more affordable high street prices.
Do expect to pay a bit more than their main line collections but also expect to get classic pieces that will stand the test of time in your wardrobe
My top picks include a breton stripe oversized knit, a pair of leather pants and a mohair jacket that look like it should be hanging in Selfridges
