Therefore, H&M Man introduces Essentials, a collection of its best-selling styles, which are easy to add to your existing lineup of go-to clothes. H&M Essentials, available from February 2022, is an evolving collection of wardrobe staples that are here to stay.

The ongoing collection brings together the most timeless and popular men’s classics in one spot. H&M Essentials also offers smart options for a complete outfit as an added convenience. After all, H&M designed each piece to work with the others.

For the first time, H&M brings together its most ideal and sought-after pieces under one concept, Essentials. It’s one easily identifiable and easy-to-wear line. The first collection of H&M Essentials includes:

  • No.1 The Overshirt 
  • 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.
