H&M is a go-to store for many out there—some of my best friends included. So when those in my inner circle ask for my recommendations on fresh staples that could be worthy additions to their wardrobes, I’ll often take some time to do an H&M deep dive. And that brings me to why I’m here today. On one of my recent scrolls, I uncovered a smattering of chic pieces that I deemed true winners because of their chic and versatile nature. And yep, said items all ring in under $50.
You’ll find the edit of everything below. As a note, I sent the first four items to a friend who wanted to do a little clothing shopping. Included in the overall mix is everything from sharp tailoring silhouettes to cool denim cuts to my favorite shirting style. Keep scrolling for all that and more.
