7 H&M Pre Autumn Studio Capsule Pieces That Will Sell Out Immediately

The last week of August might still technically be summer, but let’s be honest, it’s essentially September, which means it's autumn. And I don’t know about you, but I’m officially ready for London to get chilly. My flip-flops and seasonal, bright prints need packing away, ready to be replaced with cold-weather staples such as warm chocolate brown loafers, dark-wash denim and soft cosy knits.

Turns out, there's one place I can head to to get all of the above and more: H&M. With so many elevated, new-in H&M pieces popping up all over my socials (Hollie Mercedes at Copenhagen fashion week, I'm looking at you!), yesterday, I headed to the showroom with one goal in mind: seeking out the chicness which has infiltrated my feed. And as it turns out, it was H&M's Studio Pre-autumn capsule that had everything I needed. Having launched in 2013, the brand's Stockholm atelier now delivers a new collection every few months. This time round, the focus is on Copenhagen. Specifically, the laid-back, fashion-forward energy that the city is known for.

Fashion person Hollie Mercedes wears the H&M studio pre-autumn collection. She pairs the leather with a gingham skirt heeled mules and a pale green Chanel bag in a recent image for her taken at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

“The most recent capsule has a tailored but lived-in feel, like it’s been effortlessly curated over time,” says Kathrin Deutsch, H&M Studio Collection Designer. With a strong focus on texture, the team blended “leather and knits, and combined them with denim, lace, and mesh” to craft a modern, elevated capsule that feels wearable but incredibly elevated, too.

The newest collection includes buttery brown leather (as seen on Hollie herself), a sculpted fitted cardigan with a delicate ruffle, relaxed denim jeans and a sleeveless patchwork indigo top, among others. The more I saw, the more impressed I became. Each piece feels like an ideal cold-weather wardrobe addition—strong on its own and even better styled with the rest of my capsule.

An online exclusive only, I knew this was a collection you needed to see. So, I took some pics and ran back to tell you all about the seven pieces from the H&M Studio Pre-autumn capsule I’ll be investing in. Scroll down to see my top picks, read my review and shop the collection yourself.

The Most Expensive-Looking H&M Pre-autumn 2025 Studio Pieces:

1. Indigo Top + Jeans

Style Notes: I can’t lie, alongside the suede jacket (more on that below), this set was, hands down, my favourite of the bunch. Let’s start with the top. I tried it in a size small and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of give. I would say I'm a true medium, so I'd recommend sizing down. Its asymmetric finish and subtle slit are thoughtful details that add a premium touch, making it look a lot more expensive than its £45 tag. I’m already imagining it styled over a thin knit turtleneck, with a mini skirt and boots in autumn and know it'll look just as chic as it does paired with the matching jeans.

Now onto said jeans—I tried a medium and was genuinely impressed. I pride myself on being able to spot high-quality denim when I see it and my expectations were beyond exceeded. Thick and structured, yet with just the right amount of give, these jeans can be worn mid-rise with a belt or slung low for that laid-back, lived-in feel the collection was designed around.
