[H&M's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paddington) new Fall 2009 Lookbook proves that skinny jeans are fast fading and that in their place, a [roomier pant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-2025-denim-collection) will be a staple of a stylish wardrobe.

H&M's line looks very shapely indeed. Nearly nothing is fitted; instead, [oversized tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), freakishly large shoulders, flowing skirts, and big jackets are all the rage. Shape, not color, is the focus of H&M's upcoming retail stock.

**Implications** - Most of the colors seen within H&Mâ€™s Fall 2009 lookbook consist of earth-tones as well as black and white. The tiny models seem to get lost in all of the over-sized clothing, but they definitely look like they are warm and cozy. H&M sure knows how to kick off a new season!
