These 36 H&M Items Have a Chic, Elevated Vibe—I Love Them

It's no secret that quiet luxury has been trending among fashion people. Everyone is trying to encapsulate stealth wealth, from TikTok creators and celebrities to your everyday personal-style lovers. Most of us don't have thousands of dollars to shell out on a wardrobe full of high-end designer goods, so capturing the ethos and vibe with affordable retailers like H&M is the next best bet for creating a luxe-looking wardrobe.
To get this aesthetic of stealth wealth, I focused my curation on simple pieces with elegant details such as pretty pleats, beautiful draping, clean lines, and more of the like. You can also expect elevated takes on classic basics such as lovely ruching, fun textures, and more. Ahead, you can shop all these elegant finds, and you'll be one step closer to channeling understated, luxurious vibes in the days to come.
Add a little extra something to your favorite basics, from pants to simple dresses.
The shoulder pads add a cool bit of dimension to this T-shirt dress.
This gorgeous sheer skirt looks 10 times more expensive than it is.
While I love a pleated miniskirt, I'm opting for longer styles that have a more luxurious feel.
Boatneck tops are a perfect example of just how much small details take a basic top to a whole new level.
