Fast Fashion Surprise: In Which We Finally Drag Ourselves To H&M To See Matthew Williamson's Collection (Again) But Find Something Better

We're already over Matthew Williamson's two-part capsule collection for H&M, but finally made our way over there this afternoon to give it the once-over (more on that later). While we were there, we decided it wouldn't be a bad time to take a quick look at some of the other fine products the place had to offer. Upon our arrival on the second floor in the men's department, we discovered that most of it was closed off with apologies so the folks at H&M could "create a stylish new look". That made the browsing faster, and though what we found was pretty much what we expected, our magical shopping radar drew us to something that made our trip all worthwhile: Superhero Underpants!
Yes, it appears that H&M is selling its own version of Underoos just for grown-ups.
Now, we all know that there are any number of reasons why these are an inadvisable purchase. Here's a just one: Is it wise to wear underwear that begs an unfavorable comparison between one's own torso and Batman's, or The Hulk's? We say no. Never mind the effect these briefs could have on an impromptu sexual encounter (that would be abruptly ending it, if you didn't get our insinuation). Even though we eye them with morbid fascination, we ultimately took a pass.
As for Williamson, It looks like there is plenty to be had for both genders, so don't rush. The women's group is more casual with tropically colored bathing suits and loose dresses (some for higher prices than you would expect). The men's line, Williamson's first, ranges from fairly appealing to so garish it could only be suitable to wear while introducing the acrobats and lion tamers.
Frankly, we have seen so many internet previews of this collection that we're already bleary-eyed. For those less jaded than we (which would be nearly everybody) there appears to be an abundance, so enjoy.
