I Live in Chic Basics—27 New H&M Pieces That Hit Just Right

While statement pieces bring on unbridled joy and excitement, basics serve an even more important role in your wardrobe as the building blocks for all your favorite looks. Shopping for basics is not always the most exciting endeavor, but landing on a few online retail gems makes the process worth it. I recently took a look at H&M's latest arrivals to see if any beautiful staple basics stood out. I selected some pieces that really caught my eye.

Ahead, shop an assortment of tops, jackets, pants, sweaters, and more that will mix and match easily with your existing closet faves. Whether you're looking for a sophisticated LBD for date night or a striped cardigan sweater, there's a simple piece just for you.
