  • No. 2 The Jeans 
  • No. 3 The Hoodie 
  • No. 4 The Oxford Shirt 
  • No. 5 The Sweatshirt 
  • No. 6 The Sneakers 
  • No. 7 The T-Shirt

Because H&M’s Essentials are so popular, the brand can significantly improve its clothes’ usefulness, durability, and sustainability without sacrificing the original design. The Essentials Hoodie, for example, has sold over 2 million units since its launch in 2015. Today, the Essentials Hoodie has more recycled material and other minor adjustments that keep it current.
