- Is H&M a bad place to shop? I hear so many mixed views on H&M these days but some people absolutely hate it. I must admit, I haven't shopped at H&M for years, so I don’t really know what to expect from their stuff these days. Anyway, I’ve bought a load of their pieces to see what the quality is like and see if people's opinion on the store are right.

FYI - I didn’t keep anything from this haul
the way you do 1/3rd ratio in your body length i love that
Grey wheel thats for the silver bolt to hold it down
whatd you do with them?
@@KilsE90 he usually sells stuff, I’d imagine in this case he just gave it to goodwill
As you said, you want your entire wardrobe to only be quality pieces that mean a lot to you, so the fact that you didn’t keep anything was pretty much expected. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all bad
This is the greatest trick of H&M. The clothes are just nice enough that you'd buy them after trying them on in the store, but after a few wears and washes the pieces start to fall apart.
I can imagine they wouldn’t probably hold up great
I only own their turtlenecks and tanktops and both last for year even tho i wash them after every use and wear them regularly.
@@Ben_S_ I think it depends on the item u bought. I bought their sweatshirts and they’re still good and quite comfy. But I wouldn’t be surprised if other pieces of clothing are worse.
@@calmv_ absolutely, but i wouldn't disregard the entire brand because of it.
@@Ben_S_ I think you work at H&M.
I'd love to see a video on fast fashion brands to AVOID so that some of us can avoid wasting our money.
I had planned to do one of those. Pretty much all of them are to avoid
@@HarryHas HAHA yeah you're right. Though H&M I guess is an exception. I still have a peacoat from there that I absolutely love, though the boots didn't last me a year so you still gotta be careful, unfortunately.
@@HarryHas I disagree. Some fast fashion basics are really solid like Uniqlo or some H&M tanktops that i wear to the gym that i own for years. Sure, if you buy some 100% acrylic from Asos that are super trendy and you don't want to wear for more than you are wasting your money, but timeless basics last quite well for me.
@@squircled6274 I prefer a plain cotton tanktop to run errands rather than athletic wear. I initially bought it because i forgot my top for the gym and H&M is like 5 minutes away, yet 5 years later i still wear it to run errands and sometimes for a workout. H&M also has a lot of crap, so i completely understand that people don't want to go there and try it out and Uniqlo is generally speaking a better choice.
@@jackmanleblanc2518 Don't buy shoes from brands that aren't reputable shoe brands.
H&M used to be one of my favorite place to shop. But after I realize that Uniqlo sell the best quality of essentials I haven't step my foot on H&M anymore.
Uniqlo hides a lot of plastic fibers and label them heattech or airism which is something i dislike
@@pikachuiswatchingyou airism is pretty cool actually, it's 1 of the best t shirts I had.
Outside fabric from cotton, inside is plastic fiber. Dries out very fast and everything in the uniqlo is very soft and comfy.
About heattech, I had some clothes of them, but I dont had this feeling of warm clothing, anyway they are ok for wear at home.
@@pikachuiswatchingyou Still 10 times better than H&M's business practice if you ask me.
uniqlo is also fast fashion hombre
Uniqlo has lost it in terms of fit. Everything is very loosely fitting and looks cheap nowadays. I loved their older stuff but lately I've been a bit disappointed with their clothing.
For me as a teenager, I don’t have the money for good and expensive pieces. H&M is cheap enough, and well known enough for my mom to allow me to shop around in the store. Sure, sometimes the jeans or the sweaters of mine have really fallen apart after some wears, but it’s not too bad for me. I’m not too upset with H&M.
How many wears and what do you mean by falling apart
@@qase8070 I don’t know, I don’t particularly count. But I’ve worn a pair of H&M jeans for about a year and there’s a hole right below my left knee on the back, don’t know where it came from. Like I said it’s not too bad, though you can kinda tell that it’s not the best of the best Yk?
@@yicklemypickle8716 well thats the point isnt it? You're their target audience.
Once you get older and can afford more, it'll be more worth it to move on. Even if just to find your own sense of style, instead of just getting the off-the-cusp type stuff that H&M usually offers.
that just means you have a low standards. H&M still sucks.
@@bradbonarddelacruz2238 That’s cool.
For me the problem with HM is the fast fashion market they fit right in the middle of. They make cheap clothing posing as premium that won't last. These types of businesses are bad for consumers and pollution so I frankly don't go near them unless I find something worth looking into, but then again I like paying more for quality products so I don't havs to buy more over time. Great insightful video as always!
For me that's not true. Sure if you buy the lowest lines in HM they won't last but if I'm often buying the most expensive clothes there which still are reasonably priced and they serve me well. In my personal experience they are much better quality compared to a bit more expensive brands like hugo boss, ralph lauren etc
@@TheBartek9330 h&m is a giant of fast fashion regardless
@@gleaned3373 True but I don't see anything wrong with it. If something is trendy at the moment i want to get it for cheap instead of paying huge trend tax for those designer brands. I used to buy expensive clothes even like gucci etc but quickly noticed that they are the same shit as in hm and they won't improve your style. You only get them to impress others with logo. Atleast that was my case
@@TheBartek9330 it’s bad because they use terrible materials that are bad for the environment, people also just buy it randomly because it’s cheap and then they throw it out
@@TheBartek9330 that’s also part of the problem, people need to be more selective about what they buy, regardless of if it’s high-end or fast fashion. If you don’t think you’re going to wear it down the line, don’t buy it
I like H&M because it doesn’t advertise itself to be anything more than an affordable, in style clothing brand. I find Zara to be much more egregious as they like to market themselves as high end when their clothing is no better than H&M in terms of quality. So Zara video next? 😅
Zara quality has gone downhill likewise their quality control. Most fabrics are synthetic nowadays at both brands yet I find better quality at H&M but skip their cheap tees
Nah that's cap. I do agree that some items from zara might not be HUGE quality but they do some stuff worth buying. I have some items from zara that have above average quality for the price that i own for more than at least 5 years and they are still in great condition.
I’m not sure if it differs from country to country that much but in mine, H&M will barely ever have good pieces and 95% of their pieces are horrible quality. Zara on the other hand has much better quality clothing, albeit more expensive. Shirts and pants I’ve gotten from Zara have also lasted me a lot longer than pieces from H&M. Since I’m a college student I barely have enough money to buy from Zara anyway so most of my wardrobe is Zara items on sale.
@@togp3403 I can agree with most points you mentioned there. H&M quality is not above Zara, it varies on items. Recent hoodies quality at H&M have been better than Zara. However zara trousers and some wool jackets have been better offerings . Overall both have been back sliding with quality of fabrics and stitching lately . However zara is more stylist and has more options considering the volume of designs they churn out annually. I think Uniqlo has been doing well giving a balanced quality and price point. Also I was introduced to COS past few years better quality prices higher akin to Zara but better stitching and that is owned by parent company of H&M too. Worth a try. The demand for fast fashion is waning off for me as my preference is now for timeless and quality wear. Buying less pieces to use often and long lasting is worth the premium and overall better for the environment than the green washing by a lot of clothing manufacturers . Being that you are a student I understand affordability is paramount combined with quality
I think it also depends on where you're buying, I live in Portugal and Zara has some products that are made here so the quality is a bit higher and people regard it as better
"Nothing's an incredible price if you don't really like it. That's just called a waste of money." I love this! It's so true, yet many people don't follow this.
H&M is the perfect place for people like me who are pretty much broke but want to look a little bit "stylish" with the minimal "sophisticated" looks that they sell. It's fast fashion. So don't expect their garments to last forever.
Ah H&M the first clothing store that really got me into fashion. It'll always have a special place in my heart. I still love to shop/ browse around here, but don't do much buying anymore. In my experience everything always shrunk 1 to 2 even 3 sizes smaller after being washed and dried. It's a great place to start for anyone who's wanting to get into fashion though.
Besides the massive cons of fast fashion, H&M was my first place, as well as Forever21, to begin expirementing and finding my own style. Just a while back, I was going to these places and trying on new pieces. Eventually, I began to see what I liked and what I didn't. Thus, I transitioned away from these places and began buying higher quality clothing that would last me a while. This only happened once I established my taste, and if it weren't for fast fashion, I wouldn't have been able to expirement. Of course, each person is different, but this is my personal experience with H&M.
What brands did you go to after H&M?
I find H&M to actually have pretty good quality stuff especially for the price. Never had a problem with their jeans, jackets or tees. I think they're especially great if you wanna try a new style of clothing that you aren't sure you'll like or not so you don't wanna spend a lot of money on it.
true, this is how i found my current style and when i can afford, i'll buy higher quality clothes
my h and m jeans always lasted a year max, and i dont do anything crazy in my clothes. Black jeans started to lose color after 2-3 washes
@@rehakmate I have two pairs of H&M jeans, one of them for about 2 years and it's still in great condition. And one black pair that's been washed probably 5-10 times and hasn't lost any color. Perhaps you just got unlucky, idk.
I find their tees to be of pretty poor quality personally
Depends on what version I guess. I've seen some worse than others@@leftenantthunder
You have a black belt in fashion. You videos are quite entertaining and informative for this middle aged guy living in Seattle. I'm actually in the beauty industry and ironically, clothing fashion has always been a bit of a blind spot for me. I love your no-nonsense approach and have found the content from you channel inspiring and valuable. Thank You!
"nothing's an incredible price if you don't really like it that's just called a waste of money" keeping that in mind everytime i shop now
H&M has a recycling program too. If you bring a bag of ANY clothes to their store, they will either donate it or recyling the material and give you a 15% coupon In exchange
I find the stuff i've bought from H&M don't last more than a few washes before it starts looking worn down, especially the lighter stuff like tshirts, sweatshirts and sweaters.
I think the biggest issue with clothes not lasting is that people dont know how to wash them.
Most people just chuck in everything in the machine.
I love H&M, and 80% of my closet is made of H&M clothes, in my experience, they do have good quality. Maybe not the greatest, but I guess you get what you paid for. And if you know how to properly care for your clothes, it’ll definitely last more than you’d expect. Overall, it’s really not as bad as everyone says, but each to their own
How long do their hoodies, shirts and pants (jeans) last if you wear them regularly? How often do you wash? I'm planning to buy from H&M for college
@@xeyutipe I have a few HM hoodies and they lasted pretty well (I wear them regularly)
@@xeyutipe I've owned a pair of skinny jeans from H&M that lasted about 4 years, the first damage was quite detrimental, tearing in the crotch area. I had worn these A LOT. Washed and tumble dried every 3-4-ish wears. I have a few hoodies and a sweater by them that are still completely fine, they're going about 5-6 years now. I had a pair of thin relaxed trousers, those lasted about 4 years, but I wore them so, so often, and tumble dried them most of the time. They were like a thin, cotton pyjama fabric. A t-shirt that had thin fabric from the start, lasted about 4 years, the damage was thinning under the armpits and eventually tearing. For all of these, I have worn them a lot. Most of them, I tumble dried after washing for years, though recently I've not been tumble drying them. (I would recommend this in general, do not tumble dry if you can avoid it. I only tumble dry underwear, socks, towels and clothes I sleep in now.)
@@xeyutipehm is trash
Agreed. You do need to be choosy and also play close attention to the care instructions (same for many brands....some more expensive). Wash inside out with like colours. Cold wash is fine for most outer garments anyway.
As an Ecuadorian, hm just reached my country just a month ago. And the thing is that for Ecuadorians, hm, Zara, pull and bear ( fast fashion) are one of the best things we can buy cause it’s affordable and at least for me, that influences a lot how people view fashion, and many people wear trends instead of finding their own style. And overall Ecuadorians do not dress that well IMO.
One of my hottest takes is that as far as "quality" you get basically the same from H&M as you get from much more expensive brands. A lot of these looked good and I'm positive they'd last plenty of time.
My only problem with h&m is the stichings, they are so Weak that its just pathetic.
Thanks for taking the time to purchase and review all these pieces. Finding the right fit is the most important part for these pieces, considering the low price. Glad that you're promoting these pieces as 'budget' options, and compared some pieces with their higher quality, more expensive siblings. Videos like this definitely make finding a good look on a budget more accessible.
I tend to find that H&M is good for the "essential" items, like tees, socks and underwear, especially for the price. Although I do wish we had places like Uniqlo where I live.
I'm someone who loves oversized, especially with a bit of a classic feel to it, so the urge to buy at H&M etc. has definitely gone up.
I was kinda thrown off guard, I typed oversized into the search bar and didn't expect 300+ results, they partnered with Weekday and I think some others, but still. It's not a company I like to support at all, from what I've heard, but in these uncertain times it can be kinda hard to turn down something you've been looking for at 40 bucks instead of 200.
Veryyy positively surprised by the overall cut and silhouette of that bomber.. Definitely know what you mean though about the bobbling of the ribbing on cheaper ones!
Yes mate. I was too. I really liked it. Thanks for watching mate
I went into the comments expecting just people talking about the low quality of the clothes but then I saw people saying the clothes broke down
I can certainly say I never had one of my H&M clothes fall apart or anything
hey Harry, with the fall and holidays coming up you should do a video on holiday dinner outfits, or thanksgiving outfits, something like that. I love your style would love to see some ideas. Cheers!
i like that you also talk about materials. in addition to stitching, fit and country of origin, the materials used (natural fibers vs. synthetic) is a massive differentiator between high street and high fashion/luxury.
I worked at h&m for 3 years and it really helped me change my taste in fashion. For cheap essentials for students it's honestly amazing.
I worked at H&M for a while, and it was pretty not great. Almost all of my coworkers were around my age, (19) including a lot of the managers.
I now have decided to only work with *experienced* managers because they were pretty awful.
All of my coworkers were part of this clique, and a lot of them were buddy buddies with the managers, and because I didn't fit in the clique, I had to be the bearer of the blame for just about everything. It was quite frustrating. I'd notice a lot of coworkers standing around and talking and not being productive, coworkers being rude, and coworkers generally being a$$holes, but because they were best buds with the managers, they always got off scot free. But on the other hand if *I* wasn't being productive non stop all the time, if the managers found my looking at my phone for even a second, they would give me this whole thing about how we "need to always be doing something." Then they would proceed to go to the break room and not do anything. At least, thats what it looked like. A lot of the times the managers would be nowhere to be found. That or they were all together with all the other coworkers (except me of course) standing around talking and not doing anything. Of course, if I ever went up to say something, it was always "why aren't you at the cash register?? don't you know its inconsiderate to not do your job and make everyone else pick up the slack??" Yeah, sure. If you insist.
The most frustrating part of my job was that even when I was on my first week of working there, they would be short with me because apparently it was inconvenient that I wasn't already an expert at my job. No one would ever tell me things, and when a manager would ask me to do something that I've never heard of in my life and was never asked of me before, and when I would inevitably ask "what is that" or "where is that" or "how do I do that," I was given a great look of "wow, are you really this stupid??" Instead of an explanation of what they are asking me to do. And then they would be mad at me when I didn't do exactly what they had in their mind that they wouldn't tell me.
See the thing that sucks about H&M, at least the one I worked at, is that on your first day they make you sit down and watch this hour and a half long presentation about how "we need to be inclusive!" And "we're part of a team! No matter what your pronouns are!"
They were *incredibly* preachy about how you need to be "moral" and "inclusive" and "stand up for other people!"
But obviously that only counts if your "one of us."
It makes me angry and I hate the freaking double standards here. I haven't gone to an H&M since and I don't really care to ever go there again either. The whole thing was so stupid.
Anyway, that is all.
I literally just bought some sweatpants before watching this video, but it was a necessary purchase, I lost all my sweatpants when I moved a few months ago and with winter coming they’re a must, but apart from these kind of “emergencies” I don’t buy often from fast fashion stores
my H&M suede chelsea boots is still going strong after 6 months, still lookin good. I hope it doesn't fall apart easily. I even wear it accidentally during rainy days because equator weather is unpredictable , no leaks.
Bro , we appreciate your effort for this video , thanks mate
I've got that oversized sweater it's hella nice! And that bomber look ideal as well. I'm a H&M fiend so I loved watching this!
Hahaha. That sweater is definitely good for the price. The bomber has a great fit but not sure if it would look good in a few months time or not. Thanks for watching dude
Love your delivery.
For me the problem with hm is not that they always look bad or felt bad, they just don’t last. Most of the items become sloppy after 4-5 washes and end up either get donated or can only be worn as lounge wear. But of course they are not the worst quality clothes I’ve ever bought, they are an established brand afterall, and some of the items you bought do look good so perhaps they are having some improvement now😄
It really depends tbh some jeans from h&m last forever and stay tight, others get loose after one wear. Some sweaters statt to fall weirdly and get a lot of pilling, others don't... It's risky :D
Are you sure you're washing your clothes properly? I follow the care instructions on all my clothes and everything I own has lasted 15-20 washes before starting to deteriorate. I don't have anything from H and M except a couple hats, but surely they must be better quality than $5 walmart tshirts.
I’ve personally bought a few items from H&M, specifically a hoodie, a few shirts, a set of rings (which I plan on getting some more), and ordering some sweatshirts & some other items I’m probably missing that don’t come to mind. From my experiences, H&M isn’t THAT bad. I don’t go for the extremely cheap stuff, but I really pay attention to the quality through the images and see if it’s gonna be bad or good, so I’m very picky when it comes to those things, even if I have to pay a few dollars more. I haven’t had any of their stuff fall apart on me yet, but I can say that the shirts haven’t degraded in quality, shown signs of wear and tear, etc. it seems new still. Sure they feel a little on the cheaper side, but I tend to forget how much the piece actually costs when I’m out wearing it. They’re solid, but I’d trust bigger brands like Tilly’s, kohls or even old navy & abercrombie, over h&m any day
Thing with these fast fashion brands is that eventually u end up spending more money on the long run having a full wardrobe but of cheap looking stuff that after some time you don’t even want to wear again
Love this type of videos man!
Great to hear mate
Very nice job, Harry. I've never been in an H&M but I just may walk through one now. Thanks for an excellent review.
Hi i do really enjoy your revies of brands. And this one comes a perfect timing cause I haven't shop at h&m for a very long time so I will probably take a look again.
Not sure how well it would all hold up but you could give it a go
The cable knit fit looks great on you!
I've had basic shirts and bomber jackets from H&M last several years even with weekly gym wear and wash. 10 dollars for something you can wear weekly for years is pretty good.
The biggest sell of H&M is not the price it's that american mid level brands (selling at 2-3x the price of H&M) don't typically have slim fit clothing if you have wide shoulders but a small waistline.
If you work out and have an atlethic or slim build its really hard to beat brands like H&M and Uniqlo.
I still have a couple items in my closet from H&M lol. My favorite is a hooded bomber jacket that surprisingly fits me perfect from back in 2015. I still have all 3 colors of the first run they did of those zipper pants, I don’t wear them any more but I legit wore them for 3 years and they held up.
Nice Vid! You said that you would buy an other grey knit. I'm searching for one currently. Which one would you go for?
Wait... is it just me or none of the clothes I bought from h&m fell apart or fade or come out wrong 💀💀
No, it is much the same for me. I think I just choose selectively, but none of the clothes have fallen apart.
Same
same for me, if u take care of them properly they actually last decently well
Same here
h&m jeans ABSOLUTELY age towards a brownish tint. awful looking. they're pretty much a disposible piece of clothing - if you get them, expect to replace them in a matter of a few months
I had a pair of H&M jeans about 5 years ago. I don’t know what they’re like now but I remember that they stretched out a lot - by a lot I mean about 2 or 3 sizes. This meant that they were pretty much unwearable after 3 months and I had to throw them out.
It would be great if you can suggest fashion based on body types!
The only problem l've had with their garments in terms of deteriorating have been the jackets. The fake leather just start to peel and dust in 4ish years, same with a limited edition nylon sports jacket. But their fabric jackets have been nice.
I laughed at the Winnie the Pooh line! 🤣
Hahaha glad you liked it
I tend to avoid shopping at H&M or other chain stores. They don't offer good quality, only low prices. And I always try to remember that cheap clothes have a hidden price. It is not paid by end users, but by factory workers working for pennies, in terrible conditions, without insurance.
Thanks for another video! I've always felt meh about H&M so it's nice to see that there are still some nice pieces, even though there looks to be some patience and sifting involved. That cable knit sweater was quite a surprise to me.
Unrelated - those Weekday track pants pull a dressier silhouette, and some of the knits you tried makes the outfit lean dressier, which for some reason looks more fitting for your frame and your physical characteristics. I suspect you'd pull of tailored suits quite well!
Thanks a lot. I do like tailored trousers a lot
The problems I see with H&M is that their quality doesn't really match up to the brand image they're trying to build, and also, their website is so messed up. Don't get me wrong, some items can last nicely especially bottom pieces, for most of tops they just lose that "new clothing look" very quickly. For the second thing, sure you can shop in their web just fine. However they lack tidiness in their product lineups, sale items also often misleading with price changing from one color to another, sizes available are ridiculously small or large although the sale just started. Imo they can learn a thing or two from Uniqlo. Their products are quite plenty but being marketed concisely.
I've never understood this obsession with "new clothing look"
I wear my clothes until there's holes in them or the zipper falls off. Usually 5-7 years for most pieces. Sure some of my shirts have some minor stains, or the color has faded, but that doesn't mean they're unwearable.
Thanks for the scouting report!
I bought that oversized sweatshirt and did not size down. Now im really nervous to recieve the order 💀
When I first started being a little more fashion conscious I liked H&M because it allowed me to try some new-to-me looks without breaking the bank. Now, though, I don’t think I’d ever buy from them again without a massive uptick in quality. Too many garments that don’t hold up after a few washes, and too unsustainable a business practice.
Lovely video! I have to visit H&M since 2015,i am dissapointed with the quality so much.
By the way i love your pants! Where did you get them?and what do you call this style of pants?
As Indian where there isn't much options. There are brands like Zara and Uniqlo which is much expensive compared to H&M. So, I don't have any complaint. I kinda love it.
Exactly my pov man. Plus H&M ships all over India which Zara and others don't
@@jayeshranjan4413 plus I'm registered in UNI day which gives me 10% extra off in all products, and I'm north eastern so body types are much different from the mainland. Other brands like hrx, red tape and all don't fit in my body no matter which ever size I try. So, I like h&m because nicely it fit my body and how stylish they are but if budget wasn't issue I would blindly go for zara or Uniqlo.
The flight jacket looks really nice. Did you wash it once and if so, did it change in shape? tbs up
H&M and Forever 21 is literally why I stopped buying fast fashion years ago. Was tired of clothes falling apart lol
i bought a black turtleneck there about 3 years ago for like 15€ and ive been wearing it at least 3 times a month and its still good (besides two small holes on my back because of my cats)
I have everything from H&M and my stuff did last for 2 years now
How do you fine the pieces hold up after washing them? I usually find they are alright brand new, but after a couple of washes that's when you can tell the true quality of an item
Im new to fashion/style and brands like h&m are quite nice to try things out and experiement to figure out what you like without spending much money. Then eventually you can upgrade a piece with a higher quality brand.
The knit wool sweater at 2:55 is merino wool not wool the one they launched last year with £29 is good with a much finer gsm and gives the feeling of wool. and I’m 6 feet tall and slim and I bought the same sweater you r wearing but it fits me perfect. But anyway good video brother in the next video review Calvin Klein clothing. And once check out the it’s black bomber jacket.
The only thing I have ever bought from HM is a pair of black leather boots, I couldn't find that sillohuete anywhere (only in vegan "leather") and they turned out to be cheap with some coupons , I wear them nearly every day so I'm pretty happy with my boots! Don't know if I would buy clothes tho...
thanks for the info!
ill be sure to check them out
Cheers for watching
Thanks for the honest opinion😇
Thanks for watching
In New Zealand, my favourite affordable clothing store is Cotton On, they do really nice pieces but it’s extremely basic
@Harry Has 00:23 I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SWEATER!😫 I ordered this knitted sweater from LightInTheBox over a week ago. I didn't know that they were based in China, nor that there were negative reviews about people not getting what they ordered. I hope I wasn't scammed😫 But either way, I hope to wear this someday!
H&M has bad quality, but sometimes here and there I found good pieces that lasted long, but that's very rare. 🙂
I remember them being very poor quality.
do we get worse products from H&m compared to what US nd UK get? My regular fit t shirts converts into slim fit tees after few washes and i hate it
@@harshul9408 I'm from the Netherlands, I very rarely buy there now but it used to be a real mixed bag.
Since then I've only bought a few oversized items, perhaps they shrunk a bit, but it's honestly hard to tell with these sizes, and the shapes are holding up well. The only old item I still have from H&M is a long white tee sized up, that one did end up getting a worse shape, but I only use it as an under-layer anyway, you only ever see the bottom hem.
So yeah, for oversized fits and under-layers I'd say it's generally safe, but I remember anything standard fit getting quite a bit worse over time. Some sweats lost too much stiffness and lost their shape too, and the denim I got from there was really thin as well.
Anything listed as heavy or thick probably will keep it's shape a bit better too, but I've also had pure cotton pieces go TOO stiff.
@@harshul9408 I had similar experience, I completely refrain myself from buying at H&M, my go to brand is Uniqlo now, it's simply fits all my needs, price is little higher side for indian consumers, but I can afford.
@@rajatmaheshwari916 I will be buying the airism oversized one it. I need to save a little for it tho.
I have that courdry one shacket its an amazing piece. Happy to have something that harry also have.😂
I must've picked the lucky items then cuz i still got jeans from 5 years ago from hm. Bit faded, but they've outlasted tons of grocery stocking days where my other jeans all had a crotch blowout(they were hand-me-downs so idk how old they were to start). Nonetheless, the only items that were iffy were the sweatshirts which left so much lint from the inside, all over my black jeans. I got rid of all of them. Besides that, I love HM and uniqlo.
They have some ok base stuff but compared with Uniqlo they are just not for me. Especially as the stuff I bought there did shrink quite a bit after the first wash.
Great overview and vid as usual mate. 😊🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you bro. I haven’t had the stuff to see how it holds up but I can imagine that. Always worth spending a bit more and getting some good quality stuff
bought 2 pairs of relaxed fit jeans a while ago, any experience on the quality of these im quite worried because it aint cheap its almost the same price as a pair levis.
i stick to uniqlo. durability is great and comfortable. i bought a shirt in HM once. it fall apart after a few weeks
is there any alternative to your black ami de coeur shirt? it looks fantastic but i dont have the money
Great review Harry! Was really shocked with the quality of shacket haha, Why don’t you get an athletic fit when getting jeans instead?
I just go for a more relaxed fit
I bought a pair of slim black jeans from them and though I liked the look and fit, they started to show signs of wear after the 3rd time I wore them even though I didn't even washed them. Wouldn't buy again. I'm happy with a black belt I bought from them though.
Harry you look soo stylish in that shirt.
For some reason, their regular jeans fit me perfectly as slim fit jeans (I also squat). Perfect butt and thigh size for me, but that's about it!
Uniqlo or Weekday are not that much more expensive and the fits are much better.
having big quads and finding pants is the worst. also a 30-32 waist but my quads only fit in the thighs of 36+. also, love the oversized sweatshirts from hm, have a few
I would love to see a video of fast fashion brands o “affordable brands” that actually are worth, everyone just throw hate on these brands but no one propose an alternative
I know I can't afford a lot of expensive clothes. I'm rebuilding my entire wardrobe for $1000. Instead of mass-buying at H&M and Gap, I will only own a few great pieces and save up for quality brands. UNIQLO, massimo dutti, Zara, Frank & Oak, Levi's for jeans. So that each piece I own is great. I'll have no more than 3 bottoms, 4 tshirts, an oxford shirt, a sweatshirt, a merino wool sweater, an overcoat and maybe a few other pieces.
Close to off-topic, but I happen to have the same problem with the thigh-waist ratio on pants and cannot wear Levi's 501s most of the time for this very reason. Try the 505 instead, it has an almost identical cut, except for a zipper instead of a button fly, and it has more room in the thigh area.
i bought a sweater a fewers ago and only wore it for less than 5 times over the years, surprisingly the fabric decomposed in my closet. has anyone experience this?
If you have an issue with the thigh area, jeans wise, try G-Star. It's a Dutch brand, and as we are a cycling people, there is more room in the thigh area, and many of their fits/ styles also come with elastane options, for additional comfort and stretch. When it comes H&M I only buy their knits when on sale at a significantly reduced price, as they too often have synthetic blends, sometimes even from the women's department as I am short, and the women's hemlines are a bit more flattering.
I know G star but I haven’t tried their jeans. I’ll give them a go. 🤘
G-star selvedge denim is 🔥 for the price point
What’s the Ace Black jacket your wearing ??? Is that H&M as well ??? Thanks for your time
what sweater are you wearing in your thumbnail? It looks nice.
I got 2 pairs of the relax fit jeans a while ago when they were on sale and the blue pair I got have washed fine and still feel like when I got them but the black pair have ended up feeling rough to touch and have kind of ended up loosing some of the shape to them and I feel as though they don't sit right on me how to they used to or stack on my shoes as they did
Ive got the same problem for my quads lol. 26.5inch circumference quads and 30-32inch waist
The merino wool cream sweater looked good
Harry’s bicep vein poppin in this vid
What I would like to know.. what pants is Harry wearing before he tries on the black Jeans. I love the Pleat and the zippered pockets are everything!
They are the weekday Ken track pants. I’ve linked them in the description
The real test is what happens to the clothes after you wash them. Everything I've ever bought from H&M shrunk like crazy after the first wash.
for real? i haven’t had that problem at all, the only issue i’ve had is a pair of black pants i bought has started to lose color (you know how some black pants/trousers start looking like they lost their color because of the sun? like they start looking brownish), other than that it’s all still good
@@LuisCastillo-rt5nk probably he bought those sold in bulks (two or more/pack). They do shrink. But, the regular one dont (at least, like u, i also have never experienced it)
Where are the black pleated trousers from my man? 🔥 video as always
Weekday. Linked in the description 👍🙏
Hi Harry great video I just wanted to ask how those Apple leather boots you have are holding up as you’ve had them quite a while now!
They are still great but I haven’t worn them much. It’s only coming into the colder weather here now
@@HarryHas fair enough mate hopefully they last a while for you
i really fancy ur pants, where can i get one?
7:09 the best bomber is the classic Alpha industries jacket
ure not reviewing the hoodie, does that applies same way to the sweater?
H&M are excellent for fit (for my taste anyway). I actually prefer it to ARKET and COS for some items, just for my body type. I find that in ARKET and COS I'm in between sizes on the bulk of items I try on, but when I buy in H&M it fits like a glove most of the time.
