Lookbook | H&M Men's Fall/Winter 2011 Preview

Last week H&M invited me to their showroom to preview the Fall 2011 Men's collection. This season the men's pieces focuses on simplicity,function,mixing materials, and great color combinations.

HM offers classic looks with a modern masculine twist, a heavy knit collar or rustic parker paired over a classic suit add attitude and personal style. I also saw two-tone blazers over a white shirt, which looks fresh and crisp.

Head Menswear Designer, Andreas Löwenstant says, " Clean and sharp is the look for men this fall, updated with seasonal colors, materials and key pieces. It's also important for the wardrobe to work in a simple and efficient way, which is why design longevity is particularly important for H&M's men's department. This season's collection is about indispensable fashion essentials and about creating your own look."
