I've said this before, and I'll say it again: When it comes to determining which items from a collection will or will not sell out, I'm the best person to consult. I'm not bragging. Simply put, I have a long track record of predicting this sort of thing, and 99% of the time, I'm correct. So if you're on the fence about buying something from H&M, Zara, or J.Crew and want to be sure it's safe to sit on for a while, check out the list below—if you see it on here, don't wait. You aren't safe, and before you know it, you'll have missed out on the best items to shop right now, possibly for good.
If that's not the situation you find yourself in, but you still want to score some future sellout winter items before the masses find them and you have to fight off all of TikTok to score them, the forthcoming list might also be helpful for you. It's useful in many ways—why else would I have spent hours putting it together? Without further ado, scroll down to shop 36 items from Zara, H&M, and J.Crew that you'll be lucky to find are still available in one month. Honestly, they could all very well be out of stock by then.
H&M
Check back next Friday—I'm guessing this jacket won't still be in stock.
A gorgeous silhouette.
If you want a designer bag but can't spend thousands on one, buy this chic $35 shopper instead.
The latest Saint Laurent show has me buying up every oversize suit.
A classic LBD like this one will get so much use this winter.
It's all about denim-on-denim this season.
I needed this suit skirt, like, yesterday.
The funnel neck silhouette is so fashion-forward.
Oh, these jeans are good.
This bag is the moment.
The perfect layering piece.
The fit on these is too good to pass up.
Zara
Attached scarves are everywhere this winter. I love the design of this gorgeous Zara pick.
*Adds to cart.*
There's no shot that this suede jacket stays in stock through the week.
Oh, more cashmere? Don't mind if I do.
T-bar shoes will be everywhere in 2025.
Simple elegance.
Minimalist and chic.
I'm screaming.
A luxurious cashmere sweater.
Stunning.
So chic.
Powder pink hues are trending.
J.Crew
Yes, you and I both need a new black cashmere sweater.
How perfect is this scarf sweater?
Comfy pants will always have a spot in my closet.
Between the color, the texture, and the way this sweater feels on your skin, I can't think of anything better.
I'm pretty sure that everyone in the WWW New York office owns this scarf in at least one color by now.
This, to me, looks like a $500 sweater.
Striped button-down shirts are all anyone's talking about on my FYP right now.
This is not your average pencil skirt. Not even close.
It's just so luxurious wearing a silky tee compared to a jersey one. Don't you think?
Perfect jeans to wear on repeat.
Layer with everything.
So, this is what love feels like?
