The Chicest Pieces in H&M's Februrary New-In Section

While we’re still a few weeks away from spring officially springing, H&M’s new-in section has already started shaping the way I’m thinking about getting dressed right now. It’s that in-between moment when winter staples feel a little heavy, but it’s far too early to commit to anything overtly spring-like, and this is where transitional pieces really earn their keep.

As ever, H&M has quietly excelled in this grey-area dressing. The latest drop is full of the kinds of items that layer effortlessly while it’s still cold, but won’t feel redundant once the temperature begins to creep up. Think lightweight knitwear that works just as well over a T-shirt as it does under a coat, tailored trousers with a softer, more relaxed feel, and outerwear that bridges the gap between wool coats and trench season.

What I appreciate most about this edit is how considered it feels. Rather than leaning heavily into new-season trends, the focus is on elevated basics, pieces that slot seamlessly into an existing wardrobe and make everyday outfits feel more refined with minimal effort. It’s exactly the sort of selection that takes you through that unpredictable February-to-April stretch, when one day calls for layers and the next hints at lighter dressing.

Below, I’ve rounded up the H&M new-in pieces I’m bookmarking now — the ones I’ll be reaching for on repeat as winter slowly gives way to spring.
