Alexander Wang’s Collaboration with H&M

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Quinnipiac chapter.

It seems like forever ago that Alexander Wang granted every fashionista’s wishes by announcing his collaboration with H&M this past April.  Finally, at 10 a.m. on Nov. 6, the collection was released.  Customers lined up outside of the H&M store in Times Square for hours; meanwhile online shoppers anticipated the release while sitting at their computers.

Alexander Wang x H&M features prices ranging from $18 to $350 and designs fit for the likes of Rihanna and Kylie Jenner.  This collection clearly isn’t for everyone, but it can be seen as the perfect opportunity for anyone who is trying to expand his or her wardrobe.  Here’s a short guide into the must-haves of the Alexander Wang x H&M collection:

Fitted Dress – $99

This figure flattering dress gives any woman a beautiful shape.  Pair it with a leather jacket and heels for a night out in the city, or just by itself for the perfect edgy nighttime look.

Reflective Leggings – $59.95

Getting dressed up for classes isn’t necessarily a priority for most college students, and the average outfit just results in leggings and some sort of top.  Don’t just settle for the average black leggings….Spruce up your wardrobe with a pair of these reflective paneled leggings!  Pair them with a black V-neck shirt and your favorite black sneakers.

Mesh Backpack – $169

This backpack, with its reflective material and water repellent abilities, is the perfect backpack for school or the gym.  It incorporates the edgy and mysterious feel incorporated throughout the collection, while still being functional for everyday wear.

Perforated Patterned Bikini – $59.95

Although bikini season has long come and gone, getting ready for next bikini season is never a bad thing!  This crocodile-textured swimsuit is the perfect addition to your spring break-ready collection.  Pair it with your favorite Ray Bans and tote bag for the perfect beach look.  You’ll look so good, you probably won’t even want to go in the water!  

Leather Boots – $199

With winter just around the corner, and chilly weather headed our way, these boots are an essential piece for your winter wardrobe. With a rubber sole and zipper front, Alexander Wang had all intentions of keeping us warm and fashionable this upcoming season. Pair these boots with your favorite distressed boyfriend jeans and loose sweater for the perfect daytime look!

At first glance, this collection may seem slightly intimidating for the average woman, but adding a few of these pieces into your wardrobe can instantly update your daily look from ordinary to extraordinary.  Stepping out of your fashion comfort zone can be one of the most liberating processes in your life, so don’t be afraid to step out of the box.  Just go for it!
