5 Expensive-Looking Autumn Jacket Trends H&M Has Perfected

With autumn very nearly in full swing, I've spent some time this week reorganising my capsule wardrobe, sectioning it into categories that are ready to take on the new season (I have plenty of jeans, for example, as well as a pretty good boot collection), and others that could do with some attention. And during this process, I noticed I was seriously missing a core autumn staple: a great jacket.

But with tonnes of jackets out there right now, which are all pretty chic and versatile in their own right, I wasn’t sure where to head first when it came to filling this gap. So, I turned to my socials for some much-needed inspiration, and found a plethora of the most fashionable people on my grid all wearing H&M jackets. And the one thing these jackets all had in common was that they all perfectly reflected some of this season’s biggest trends.

From barn jackets to timeless trenches (which are never not in style!) and a couple of suede options, H&M has reimagined runway styles in trending prints and colours for a truly impressive autumn offering.

So, if you’re also in need of a new, expensive-looking jacket for the season ahead, find my edit below of the five autumn jacket trends H&M has really nailed this season.

5 H&M Jacket Trends You’re Going to Want to Take a Second Look At

1. Trench Coat

Style Notes: Trenches are eternally in style, but this season, H&M’s offering is particularly impressive, with a range of fresh shapes and styles. From cropped iterations to sweeping maxi lengths that scream luxury, there’s a trench for every aesthetic.

This immediately looks designer.

2. Suede Jacket

Style Notes: Whether faux or the real deal, H&M’s suede jacket selection is super-strong. The resurgence of suede jackets was first seen at the Prada autumn/winter 2023 show, and they've been a fashion person's favourite ever since. From blazer silhouettes to cool boxy cuts, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Shop Suede Jackets:

This looks far more expensive than its £37 price tag.

H&M

Washed-Look Suede Jacket

I’ve worn this jacket almost every day since I bought it.

I love this rich tobacco shade.

3. Leather Jacket

Style Notes: With one of the best leather-jacket selections on the high street right now, good luck choosing just one from the array of styles and fits.

H&M

Raw-Edge Coated Jacket

This whole look feels very The Row.

I own this jacket, and would advise you to size up for a better fit.

Add a soft injection of colour into your autumnal shades.

4. Denim Jacket

Style Notes: Denim jackets are a staple throughout the year, but they particularly come into their own in autumn. H&M is giving us everything from relaxed silhouettes to more refined, tapered-waist styles, so there’s bound to be one that works in your wardrobe.

Shop Denim Jackets:

H&M

Tapered-Waist Denim Jacket

Pair with jeans in the same wash and ballet flats for a polished look.

H&M

Corduroy-Collar Denim Jacket

A barn-style jacket with an elevated suede collar? So chic!

H&M

Oversized Denim Jacket

This classic will see you through the seasons with ease.

5. Blazer

Style Notes: It wouldn’t be a jacket round-up without a classic blazer. In my opinion, no wardrobe is complete without one. Lightweight enough to wear as a layer on a warmer day, go for an oversized style that will accommodate a light knit underneath when the chill sets in. H&M has some seriously good options, from traditional tweed to fresh shades.

Shop Blazers:

This is available in dark grey and black.

The silver-button detailing makes this look much more expensive than its affordable price tag.

Butter yellow, baby blue and brown is a combo I’d never considered chic, but boy, was I wrong.
