The pieces are very clearly inspired by ‘80s corporate workwear, featuring sharp shoulder pads, draped blouses and dresses, pleated trousers, and square-toe loafers in many neutrals. But it’s also inspired by “the vibrant style of Miami and Los Angeles,” via high-cut swimsuits, shiny leggings, paper-bag jeans, underwater prints, and bold reds and lime greens, according to the brand.
I got the chance to try some H&M Studio samples ahead of this drop, and can attest to the versatility of the styles and quality of the fabrics, but would recommend sizing down from your typical size, especially in baggier, oversized designs like the button-down tops.
The accessories may be our favorite part of the collection, though. From briefcase-inspired bags, angular heels, and silky knee-high socks fit for the office to statement earrings and metal-frame sunglasses ready to be shown off at poolside parties, this collection can literally style you from head to toe.
