It's a common misconception that winter clothes have to be boring or predictable. If you're already over basic sweater-and-jeans combos and sick of the same coat you wore last year, it's time to breathe new life into your cold-weather wardrobe with fresh 2020 trends. And if you think a closet reboot will cost an arm and a leg, think again.
The H&M pieces ahead are not only wildly affordable, but they're also stylish and fun. So fun, you may just feel inspired to experiment with all of their corresponding trends! See how we'll be wearing these pieces into next season and shake that winter style rut before it even starts.

Sheer Confidence
Sheer items can feel intimidating, but don't let them fool you. This trend is all about the pieces you pair with them, and a top like this one is surprisingly wearable. Try styling it over a cami or bralette, or even underneath a dress like this one. Sheer tights are your main accessory here, along with a complementary sheer scrunchie. Combine with chunky Chelsea boots for a full-on '90s vibe.

Be Square
This party-ready top nails not one, but three popular trends. Trend number one is the square neckline, which is both elegant and timeless. It also has slightly puffed sleeves (trend number two) and an eye-catching metallic color (trend number three). Give it an effortless feel by pairing it with straight-leg black jeans. Black patent-leather boots bring the chic factor for a night out, while a knotted headband and cream coat give a classic appeal that adds a fun juxtaposition to the edgier pieces.

Keep It Real-axed
This isn't your typical pair of jeans. Relaxed, comfortable, and universally flattering, this slim, high-rise style adds a modern flair to any top you pair it with. It looks especially cozy with this slightly-cropped knit turtleneck and these polished combat boots. Purple hoops add a vivid pop of color — color being another fun winter trend — and what outfit doesn't need a refined, wear-with-anything black crossbody bag? We especially love the croc effect on this one.

Big, Cozy Energy
Elevate your favorite sweats in an ultracomfy look you can feel confident wearing out and about. An oversize shacket like this one is versatile enough to be worn with everything from leggings to jeans to joggers, but we love the laid-back vibes it gets from these cream sweatpants. Heeled leather-effect booties eliminate any potential frumpiness from the outfit, while a soft beanie takes its coziness to new heights. For a stylish finishing touch, this olive green coat is a must have.

The Leather Effect
Leather is hardly a new winter trend, but it's one that'll never go out of style. This season, try pairing your favorite faux-leather jacket with a sharp pair of faux-leather pants. We love how this jacket has shearling details for an extra touch of personality and warmth. A neutral sweater will keep the look grounded and these sneaker-bootie hybrid shoes are the comfy addition you never knew your footwear collection needed. Polish the outfit off with gold ear cuffs for just the right amount of edge.
