The H&M sequin bow jacket that sold out IMMEDIATELY – 7 almost identical dupes that are still in stock
IF you’re a die-hard H&M fan, you’ll know about the viral sequin bow jacket that shoppers went wild for last autumn/winter.
And despite the recent luxe rebrand, the high-street giant thrilled customers last week when a black version appeared on the site’s new-in page.
And by its super-speedy sellout, it’s clear that “big bow energy” is back with a bang.
While we sit patiently waiting for the white version to also reappear (there have been hints!), thankfully, other brands have also brought out some very similar pieces.
So if you can’t wait any longer, here is a selection of dupes that look just like the original piece itself – perfect for the upcoming Christmas festivities.
In The Style at ASOS
If you’re a last-minute outfit planner and want to get the look on next-day delivery, then this top version from In The Style is stocked on ASOS.
Admittedly, it’s slightly thinner than the H&M original, but it gives the same illusion, plus comes in two colourways.
F&F at Tesco
Run, don’t walk to your local Tesco Extra store for this one.
These are probably the most similar to the H&M original, but they’re only available to purchase in-store.
The jackets are the cheapest of the lot, so if you are lucky enough to see one while you’re doing the weekly food shop, pick it up – as it probably won’t be there next week!
River Island
If you’d prefer something more cosy, then this fluffy cardigan is for you.
It’s also a great alternative if you feel ike all-over sequins are a little too much.
And it comes in pink, too!
Yours
Curve brand Yours has also jumped on the bandwagon with this black copy, available in sizes 14 to 32.
There’s also matching trousers for an instant, festive party look.
Monsoon
Monsoon has launched a super-heavy-duty bow jacket, available exclusively in black, though it’s nearly twice the price of the H&M version.
However, it’s the perfect piece to pull out when the dress code is ‘jeans and a nice top’ and it will last you a lot longer than some alternatives.
Mint Velvet
Mint Velvet has truly outdone itself with this one – it might just be my favourite of the lot.
It’s a beautiful cream tone with contrasting black bows, and is far more structured than the rest.
It will set you back £135, but consider it an investment piece!
Sosandar at Marks & Spencer
Another cardigan-style option, but this one is made from metallic yarn, which gives it a gorgeous shimmering look, plus it has luxe velvet bows.
Christmas Fashion Tips from an Expert
CLEMMIE Fieldsend, Fashion Editor at Fabulous, has shared her top tips for looking fabulous this Christmas.
AVOID: Christmas jumpers
No longer a novelty gag, they’re now gone back to being naff and have no place at a festive party.
By all means, go all in for Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children, but never wear it before or after that day.
WEAR: Burgundy
You can’t escape burgundy at this time of year and it’s a luxury, deep and rich colour that is a welcome break from Santa-red at Christmas.
Opt for silky textures or velvet for extra style points.
AVOID: PJs
The trend of feather trimmed co-ords has had its day and is so dated.
Don’t pull out your hair plucked pair this year, and don’t get a new set, instead still go for the satin two-piece but just steer clear of the plumes.
WEAR: Sequin Dress
Try to switch up sequins slightly by wearing them with a different texture or colour, eg a sequin skirt with a sleek knit.
But when you’re really stuck on what to wear reach for the sequins, it is Christmas after all.
AVOID: Sequin blazer
Nothing worse than showing up to a festive do looking like the hired entertainment.
Leave the sequin blazer to magicians and Strictly judges, instead always reach for a classic tux style or velvet.
WEAR: Bling trousers
Last party season embellished jeans with diamante bling had a moment, and this year they’re going to be as much of a hit.
If you don’t want gemstones pinging off wherever you go then try metallic, PU trousers.
