The Alexander Wang x H&M collection preview is released just days after Rihanna was spotted wearing a sporty ensemble from the affordable range. Fans of the Swedish retailer and the designer will love this collection of budget-friendly styles, designed with the sporty urbanite in mind.
Standouts from the collection include its monogrammed leggings, quality performance wear pieces and its logo-adorned hats that brand-obsessed fans are sure to love.
Hitting stores on November 6th, the collection--leaked by Style.com--will feature neoprene sweaters, mock crock shorts and oversized jackets that are made for urban winters. In addition to its practical backpacks, the Alexander Wang x H&M collaboration collection is also set to feature more unexpected accessories like ski goggles that will appeal to active style-setters.
