The H&M Thread #2

[Aby]

@ 1358: I saw the 1st cape in Paris last Friday.

And the coat has been in store for awhile now. Doesn't seem to sell out much...

Anyone here who has bought this poncho? Is it very large on (since it's one size)?

And I was also wondering if someone has seen this jacket in stores? Is this the one you have been talking about before? Unfortunately I think it's probably trend, because it was photographed together with some grey "jogging pants" that I know for a fact are from trend.

Tiiu, I tried that poncho on in grey and it did look quite large to me (I'm usually an S)... I didn't buy it because of that but I might try it on again, because it's really nice and cozy .

There are some more Fall pics on Nitrolicious.com some stuffs already in store but some is new to me

Also I was sooo happy when I read this little gem "Swedish fashion retailer H&M is considering bringing the Monki retail chain to the UK as soon as next year." Monki looks so good..please get it over here H&M!

that one is probably Divided. The other striped one is more the Classic-line.

I've seen a very cool leather legging from the Trend-line on blogs, but nowhere to be seen in the shops I go....
I'm afraid they only got the weird pieces from the Trend-line in Brussels....

In Antwerp they have also a Trend line

Thanks I haven't seen it in grey! How tall are you btw? I'm 176 cm (or 5'8/5'9?). I think the size of this poncho is a bit confusing, the unknown model on the online shop looks rather good in this piece, but on both Daria and Sasha the poncho looks too big and long.

Tiiu, I've seen the poncho and they do seem HUGE in real life.

Also the material is synthetic, which I think will fluff easily after washing.

 

[FleurDeLys]

I'm 168cm (5'6") and it made my legs look even shorter, but I wasn't wearing the right outfit, so that's why I'm going back to try it on with other clothes. If you're 176cm I think you're tall enough to pull it off ;-). Apparently they have it in black too , my store only has it in grey and camel.

Edit: oh, I didn't know it was synthetic .

^I hope I can pull it of, if it's as large as you say it is! I just called the nearest h&m, and they only had it in grey (which they don't sell online in my country, so I haven't seen it at all!), but they are going to hold it of for me until wednesday, so I can try it on my self. They also said the one in camel was expected to arrive later this week, so maybe I can get a look at that one too.

But what grey color is it? Dark or more lighter and out washed?

I had the same problem with the poncho....it was so warm and cozy but it's just far too long for me at the back and I'm 5"7.5

The aviator jacket that's on the cover of the magazine, and everyone's lusting after is from trend, and it's £149.99, so it is real leather after all.

just wondered anyone who's been to france lately are the prices higher than in the UK? last year in the summer they were a bit more expensive

Probably just the exchange rates between the pound and the euro?
Big chains like H&M adapt their prices quaterly according to the exchange rate.

the pound was weaker last year than now.

i want the poncho, too. but i am xs/s and really too short and thin for it. it´s a shame the ponche is one size. i wont get it, because of that. but i would really want to get it.

It's light grey, like the first two poncho's on this pic:

I like it a lot more than the camel one tbh, but maybe that's because I'm a pale blonde and camel colours seem to wash me out. The only things I don't like are the buttons on the sides, but those can easily be replaced by prettier ones.

I have a friend who has the poncho in grey, she is about 5'7 and it seems to fit her fine even though she is very rather slim on top.

I think she normally wears a S in H&M sizes but the 1 size poncho seemed fine on her!I hope that helps?

same here! I'm about 1,70 and the poncho looked way to big for me! didn't take it - i tried it on but i didn't like it and there were lots of them at my local H&M so i guess more people have the same kind of problem

 

[FleurDeLys]

I guess it all depends on how you like to wear your poncho/what frame you have. You'll have to see for yourself Tiiu .

 

[Tiiu]

Thank you so much for all your help, guys!! FleurDeLys, you have been so helpful! I definitely look forward to trying it on, I’m pale with light blonde hair so maybe the grey one will be to light for me as well as the camel one, but I guess I’ll find that out on wednesday. The black one is available at my online store as well, and that one is pretty nice too:
