20 must-have pieces from H&M’s latest S/S drop

This is a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. H&M is selling the stylish shoe of the summer – The Row inspired real-leather flip-flop – but for a teeny fraction of the price. The Row sandal which set you back a hefty £725; however, H&M are selling a pretty close dupe at just £24.99. I can’t imagine these staying in stock for that much longer so make sure to bag the bargain if you’re that keen.

You could team the gorgeous greige blazer with these wide-belted trousers. Now these, my friends, are a pair of exceptionally good trousers. They’re made of an airy weave with their high-waist and, of course, the statement belt. With its asymmetrical buckle in gold detailing, it certainly makes the trousers seem like a steal at just £34.99.

I’ll be honest, when looking at the ‘new in’ section of H&M, this was one of the things I added straight into my basket and purchased without a second to think about it. A gorgeous summer dress in the ‘it’ colour of the season, and under £20? Yes, please! I also love the slight slit in the leg as it gives it a sexier appeal than the standard slip dress, and would make the perfect date day or afternoon attire.

If you do buy the shirt, please buy these perfectly matched shorts, too. They’re made of a cotton weave with a Broderie Anglaise cut-out pattern, and pleats at the top to make them look even more expensive than they really are. To top it off (well, bottom it off) they have a stylish scalloped hem, too. It really is in the details, and you get a lot here considering that they’re only £34.99.

Cardigans are the ‘it’ item of the season, but can you believe that H&M is selling the most popular silhouette for only £9.99? And in two colours – white and baby pink (to make the girls wink, in acknowledgement that you’re wearing such a bargain). Although this piece is a bargain, it still has detailing – it’s fitted, has eyelet buttoning down the front and pretty scalloped edges on the cuffs and hems.

Alternatively, you could wear those straight-leg jeans with this gorgeous gingham top. It’s made from Tencel and has been blended with a slight sheen – making it deceptively perfect for warmer weather. It also features a wrap-over bust and wide smocking at the back, so even though it’s a pretty top, the smocked stretching makes it super comfortable to wear. Cute and comfortable? Yes, please!

Ah, yet another beautiful bargain from H&M! If you feel like your white t-shirt needs an upgrade, then it’s definitely worth considering this statement piece. It could jazz up the most basic of outfits or make a big impact when worn with some fancy pants. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the short balloon sleeves have concealed elastic at the hems for added volume, so the puffiness will prevail through all means of wearing. They really have thought of everything considering this t-shirt costs less than £10. 

For those that don’t currently own a shacket – a mixture between a shirt and a jacket – then you’re really missing out on such a versatile piece! Not only would this beige number look perfect with the previous wide-slit trousers but it’s a good enough piece to BE the statement itself. For example, H&M has paired with a pair of white jeans and a simple beige mule for the most sophisticated of looks.

If you’re after a delicious dress which will get you compliment after compliment at every summer occasion, then I’m happy to inform you that this cerise number is the one. Plus, with its crinkled chiffon material and V-shaped opening at the front, it’ll keep you cool (figuratively and aesthetically) throughout all of your plans. 

If you want to impress everyone with your Spring/Summer ’20 fashion awareness, then purchasing a Peter-Pan collared tee will do it. They’re everywhere this season and rightly so, as despite being a t-shirt, can be worn in so many ways. Of course, it can be worn as a standard tee; however, many fashion advocates are choosing to wear it under a cardigan or jumper, whilst allowing the statement collar popping over the top – creating a statement look on even the blandest of knitwear pieces. So, there you have it – three ways to wear something less than the price of a takeaway.
