I’m a fashion whizz, here’s six reasons you should NEVER buy H&M coats, you might as well put £50 in the bin
COATS are expensive to buy, so when we do buy one we like to think we’re making a good investment.
But one sustainable fashion whizz has revealed six reasons against H&M’s £49.99 beige single-breasted coat.

Andrea Cheong posted a TikTok video of her going into the store to inspect the coats and point out why it wasn’t worth the money.
She said: “Buying these coats is like putting £50 in the bin, I’m going to show you why.”
First of all, she explained the buttons along the arm of the coat aren’t even real ‘that’s just rude,’ she added.
Secondly, the button holes fraying on the coat are due to the blade not being sharp enough, she said ‘they’re majorly skimping here.’

The lining on the back of the coat isn’t even symmetrical, Andrea pointed out.
“It’s only 16% wool, it’s majority polyester, this doesn’t keep you warm.
“It’s the perfect example of something that really didn’t need to be made,” she explained.
The black coat next to the beige one was no good either according to the fashion whizz.

She added that the shimmer of the material shows it’s made of synthetic material rather than wool which would keep you warm.
On top of that, the coat was fitted with snap buttons rather than real ones.
Andrea added: “I feel like pieces like this are totally taking advantage of the consumer, it’s misleading with the tags, positioning itself as accessible, but it’s not.”
