The elegant floaty pieces of H&M’s 2019 Limited Collection could not be arriving at a better time. We are all already scampering for clothes that are light, modest and stylish for all of the Ramadan iftars, suhoours and ghabqas in the plans. The collection is everything we are looking for and more.
This is going to be H&M’s third Limited Edition Collection which is always a colorful expression of style. There is nothing like a timeless collection that embraces modernity and elegance at the same time. Long floaty skirts, kimono-tunics, kaftans, sets and embellished tops in cool, breezy fabrics will transition easily from spring to summer. The collection includes a selection of adorable dresses for younger girls, perfect for dressing up with your mini-me for special occasions.
“There’s a confidence and positive feeling throughout the entire H&M Limited Edition collection, from the flowing silhouettes to the head-to-toe prints and the matching sets with flattering cuts that women all over the world will really relate to,” says Maria Östblom, H&M’s Head of women’s wear design.
The key items in the collection include effortlessly chic kimono-tunics, kaftan-style dresses, long statement skirts, and ruffled blouses or tunic tops with coordinating trousers. There are also intricate embroideries and embellishments to be found, with softly draped fabrics and stunning jacquards. You will look stunning at any gathering without looking stuffy or pretentious.
The collection is being released in two drops. In the first drop, the color palette features a vivid range of bright accents, kimono styles – fresh pomegranate red and shades of green accompanied by different tones of white. It is also a modern take on festive clothes. The fabrics are rich in texture with a focus on embroideries and broderi anglais. The secret to an on-point look is layering. Don’t shy away from wearing dresses over trousers. The soft lightweight materials such as linen and viscose are perfect for this. Nature inspired the subtle and blurred modern florals in natural mid-tones in sand and desert hues together with fresh bold and vivid accent colors.
For the second drop, leafy greens and dusty pink reign alongside vivid flower prints and dashes of white. You will be the belle of the Eid Ball in shimmering fabrics, embellishments and embroideries in qualities that add lightness as fluid viscose, silk sateen and brocades sum up the second part of the Limited Collection.
With inspiration from Art Deco as well as modern florals this is an all-in party and celebration wear collection. Kimonos and dresses with mixing and pairing contrast panels, with color combinations in natural mid-tones with lighter shades and pastel tones.
The 1st drop of the H&M Limited Collection 2019 is already available in stores and online, the second drop will be available on the 16th of May. For more information, visit kw.hm.com. Featured image courtesy of H&M.
