After analysing the products over 10 years I came to the conclusion that
H&M plays a lot with silhouettes, collars, sleeves. It also experiments on
prints and colors. It uses vibrant tones like pink, orange, red. In majority
it uses neutral tones like black, white, brown, beige basically earthy colors.
It has also used beads and embellishments in an years collection. They focus
mainly on comfort of the consumer, they develop garments that are flowy
and have easy going movements. It plays with prints too, animal, tie dye,
abstract and intricate prints were once used. Organic fabrics and even fabrics
that are soft are mostly used by this brand. Demins are used for few garments,
mostly lighter shades are used for denims. It also focuses on vivacity on women,
in an year it also highlighted bohemian culture.
