I Found 19 Under-$80 Items at H&M That Are Perfect for the Holidays
If you don't regularly shop at H&M, you're seriously missing out. I always score amazingly stylish and yet totally affordable finds that result in more compliments from my friends and fellow editors than I can count. The retailer just dropped their holiday collection and it's everything I'd hoped it to be. There are so many pieces perfect for cozy-chic winter outfits, holiday party dressing, and gifting all of my friends (and, of course, myself). While it was tough to narrow my list down, these twenty-one items made the cut.
I can't decide who I should gift this patchwork dress to (my mom or sister will likely fight over it) so I may just keep it for myself.
This coat is perfect for wearing over a festive mini dress, like the sparkly one I'm planning to wear for NYE.
If my first fall in New York has taught me anything it's that mock neck tops are my best friend. This one is so good in it's own but will also add a fun pop of color worn under a black crew neck sweater.
This festive sweater is practically begging to make an appearance at a holiday party or two. I'd wear it with faux leather pants or a mini skirt and tights depending on the occasion.
This long sleeve dress works for so many occasions. It's all about how you switch up the accessories.
Faux leather leggings are made for those days when you want to look casual but not wear denim. These ones are my go-to for pairing with an oversize sweater and chunky booties.
This is the type of sweater I would wear over the above leggings for an easy and stylish weekend look.
The heavy fabric on this pearl-adorned sweater will definitely keep me warm all winter.
This top is my new go-to for work— ideally paired with black skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots.
These faux leather pants look way more expensive than their $35 price tag.
My friends will ask to borrow this cozy cropped sweater anyway, so it'll make the perfect gift.
This dress has "New Year's Eve" written all over it and features an ultra-flattering fit. Translation: you can gift this to just about any lady in your life and chances are she'll love it.
The pearl shade of this silky skirt makes it feel extra special.
Just add tights, heels, and some sparkly earrings for a super chic and easy party look.
This coat will look just as chic with my new favorite faux leather pants (see above) as it will over a holiday party dress.
This piece combines everything I love in a bodysuit all in one: a noteworthy neckline, puff-sleeves, and a t-shirt material. I'll wear this with trousers, denim, and mini-skirts for months.
I'm thinking of wearing these trousers with a festive top to my company holiday party. Now all I need is a fun pair of heels to complete the look.
Here's another cozy sweater that's so easy to style for winter outfits.
When people say, "put on your party pants," I'm pretty sure that this is the pair they're referencing. These trousers can also be made work appropriate by pairing them with a simple sweater and loafers.
