With another heatwave just around the corner, our wardrobes have been working hard to keep up. Light linens hang on rails that were once reserved for heavy knits, smocked dresses provide an instant put-together look and beaded sandals are the unexpected go-to shoe of the season.
As the weather shows no signs of cooling down anytime soon and with a holiday on the horizon, I suddenly felt the urge to add some newness to my summer wardrobe rotation without spending a small fortune. Naturally, I headed straight to H&M’s new-in section to find expensive-looking elegant styles at an affordable price.
The new-in section is glittered with an array of elegant chiffon fabrics and soft silhouettes, intricate detailings of broderie anglaise and romantic lace, as well as neutral colour palettes that enable pieces to easily slot into your existing wardrobe. Keep scrolling to discover the pieces that went straight into my basket.
