This New $40 H&M Dress Is the Next Summer MVP

Once in a while, I come across an item that stops me in my tracks. As a fashion editor, I spend my days browsing different online retailers, and I have to admit that I've grown a bit jaded in the process. Something has to tick all the boxes to get my undivided attention in a sea of clothes. (Especially considering I've put myself on a strict budget these days.)
In the case of H&M's Denim Shirt Dress ($40), the price is pitch-perfect, the puffed sleeves are on-trend, and the A-line shape is universally easy to wear. I have to admit that I've always leaned towards denim skirts instead of dresses, but this denim dress is convincing me otherwise. Scroll down to shop the new arrival and see how a Danish It girl wears a similar style.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
