I'm a 64-Year-Old Editor With a Thing for H&M—Here's What I Won't Buy
We turn to H&M for so many things, from their insanely good selection of sweaters to the big trends we can snag for a steal there. But with literally thousands of SKU's, it can be a daunting task to approach the retailer, especially if you're shopping online. There are surely some epic finds to be had, but where do you even begin?
To help us decipher the best categories for H&M shopping from the items you could probably save time on, we tapped Susan Feldman, an avid H&M shopper and stylish 64-year-old. Feldman is the founder of One King's Lane and In the Groove, a style destination where she shares her age-defying outfits and shopping tips. "I always go into H&M with an open mind," she shared with us. "I love discovering something cool or a great basic every time I shop there. I just never know what I will find which is makes it fun."
To help guide you, Feldman shared which items she always gravitates towards at H&M and which she usually glosses over. Right now, her H&M shopping list is a curated assortment that involves everything from basics like oversized sweaters to statement-making pieces like a leopard print coat that she plans to wear with everything for winter. Ahead, get the intel her H&M shopping preferences and peruse all of her picks for the season. What she won't buy: Accessories and shoes . "I do tend to stay away from accessories and shoes. If I spend money on something it tends to be shoes and bags. I feel that by investing in classic brands on these pieces I can wear them for years." The categories she focuses on instead:
"I do find though that I gravitate towards jackets [at H&M], especially in the winter. I find they have their coat section has a lot of styles and are always on-trend."
"Love this color!""I am a sucker for anything winter white. I feel like it is so chic and obviously goes with everything. And you have to love the length of this coat.""I am always looking for a great jacket for the weekends and to wear to the gym in the mornings. Nailed it.""This coat feels so on-trend and will go with just about everything.""On a trip to Paris, I bought a cashmere version of this poncho. I was so excited to find this one at H&M. These ponchos are my go-to wrap for day and night because they're so easy and can be worn a number of different ways."
Feldman told us that another big category she looks to H&M for is tops. She always springs for their tops, anything from a sweatshirt to a sweater.
"If this isn't the perfect sweater to throw on over jeans, leather pants, then I don't know what is.""Navy is one of my go-to colors. I especially love pairing it with black. I think the texture and sleeve detail make this one great. I am sure this will be part of my uniform for this winter.""I don't usually go for prints but I thought this collaboration with Pringle was a great twist on a classic.""How gorgeous is the texture on this sweater? And it is perfect for those chilly days and nights.""'Pearls are always appropriate.' – Jackie Kennedy, and I couldn't agree more.""Again, I love a winter white and adore this cashmere with the wide rib detail on the neck, cuff, and the hem.""When I get up to go to a 6 am exercise class I know this will put a smile on my face."
"I focus mostly on dresses and skirts that are not too short. I find that they have some really fun prints and styles that are usually really easy to throw on and go."
"This is so fun and easy. It hits the snake trend and is super comfy.""This skirt is great to dress up or down—and so easy to pack for business trips.""I like anything that makes getting dressed easier and this sweater dress definitely fits the bill. I think it is great as is or putting a ton of necklaces on with it to dress it up.""I always find a tulle skirt makes me feel so romantic. I think this one is a natural choice to wear casually or to dress up."
"I continue to be surprised at how great the washes are on their jeans," she told us, but is also on the lookout for great trousers there, too.
"Great black pants. Need I say more?""I really like H&M's jeans and love this off-white color. I feel that they add a great update to any winter wardrobe. Bonus: they go with everything!""These knit pullon pants are so comfy and chic all at the same time.""I have recently love finishing off my outfits with a hat. This captain's hat goes with so many looks and makes me feel in charge."
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
