I Like My Summer Basics Elevated and Under $50—40 H&M Sale Finds That Hit the Spot

The beauty of a big H&M sale is that since everything is already relatively affordable, a discount means that you'll find prices hovering as low as the $10 mark (or even lower, in some cases). From now through July 5, H&M is offering 20% off sitewide—yes, sitewide—which means no matter what you have your eye on, it's going to come with a nice discount at checkout.
With summer in full swing, I've been keen to add some elevated basics to my warm-weather wardrobe. I'm thinking elegant linen pants, chic bateau-neck tank tops, sleek sandals, and effortless white dresses that ideally don't cost more than $50. I scoured the sale from top to bottom, and below I'm sharing some of my absolute favorite summer finds that are chic, elevated, and affordable. Keep scrolling to get your hands on them before they're gone.
