10 Versace for H&M Items Worth Waiting in Line For

Tomorrow morning, Versace's highly-anticipated collection for H&M launches in select US stores. If you are new to these lower priced designer collaborations, a warning: things can (and WILL) get crazy. Doors open at 8 a.m., but customers looking for a good selection will probably starting queueing up around 4 a.m. (Twilight fans, time it just right and you can go straight from your midnight viewing!).

Before you write off the entire endeavor as too much work, remember that this IS a bonafide Donatella-designed collection and prices start at only $20. We've actually seen the clothes up close, after a long, crowded trial of our own (though we DID get to see Prince in the process), and can attest that they are worth the wait.

Since you'll have to act fast—hesitate once and that quilted jacket you're considering will be gone—we've narrowed the selection down to ten must-buy items. Click through the slideshow for our top picks!

Although this is technically part of the men's collection, you'll definitely want to grab it for yourself (or steal it from your boyfriend). The slouchy menswear fit offsets the vivid pink color, making it sleek and cool rather than girly. We'd wear it over a fitted black tee and stovepipe denim or with leather leggings, a silky button-down and patent stilettos.
