H&M Is a Treasure Trove of Spring 2021 Trends—Here’s What to Buy Now
A new season is just around the corner and I for one can’t wait to stuff my heavy puffer coats to the back of the closet and make room for some lighter, brighter layers to ease me into spring. There are plenty of chic trends to breathe new life into our wardrobes this upcoming season and after spending way too much time perusing H&M’s site this week, it turns out the affordable retailer is a treasure trove of spring trends that will give your outfits a fresh and revived look—without breaking the bank.
From baggy jeans to luxe loungewear, take a peek below for the latest H&M arrivals to keep you looking altogether on trend for the season ahead.
Luxe Loungewear
Loungewear continues its reign in 2021, and this spring sees elevated takes on the comfy trend with matching knit sets continuing to dominate.
Shop the trend:
Shop the matching Long Cardigan ($30).
Shop the matching Knit Pants ($20).
Baggy Jeans
Set your skinny jeans aside for a moment, because this season is all about loose and relaxed fitting jeans—a trend spotted all over the S/S 21 collections.
Shop the trend:
Cropped Tops
Skin is in this season with bare midriffs, in particular, having a major moment. Whether you opt for a bandeau, a billowy cropped blouse, or a trending top with wraparound tie details, cropped tops are set to be all over our feeds come summer.
Shop the trend:
Simple & Soft Dresses
Comfortable and versatile dresses continue their rise in popularity for spring. Opt for lightweight elevated knit frocks—ideal for everything from running errands to lounging while still looking put together.
Shop the trend:
Second Skin Tops
While tissue-thin second skin tops have been around for a few seasons now, they remain a big trend for spring 2021. Easy to layer or wear alone, opt for one in a playful print if you're lusting to liven up your look.
Shop the trend:
Micro Mini Skirts
Hemlines just got way high for spring and summer exuding a playful, chic, and rebellious touch. A huge trend on the runways we can't wait to style one with a knit polo and flats.
Sweater Vests
If you haven't picked up a cool little sweater vest yet, now is the perfect time. They're a great option for layering over everything from tees to button-downs for that tricky in-between-season weather.
Shop the trend:
Pale Yellow
There are a few standout color trends for spring (read: bubblegum pink, green, and tangerine) but H&M is particularly winning with the pale yellow trend that had a massive presence in the spring 2021 collections.
Shop the trend:
Sports Authority
From track pants to hoodies and athletic shorts, designers leaned into sporty looks in this season's collections—confirming it's all about cool comfort as we head into spring.
