25 Gorgeous H&M Items That Are Making It Hard for Me to Shop Anywhere Else

by Caitlin Burnett

As a fashion editor, browsing through the new arrivals sections of the best retailers weekly is part of my job. This means two things: I end up shopping much more often than I should, and I have a pulse on which retailers have the best offerings at any given time. There's one retailer in particular, though, whose selection is so good right now that it's making it hard for me to look anywhere else. That's right, I'm talking about H&M. The affordable high-street retailer has so many chic boots, polished dresses, and cool coat options that you almost forget other retailers even exist.

Below, I've highlighted 25 gorgeous H&M pieces (broken down by category) that I can't stop thinking about—from the plaid jacket I guarantee sells out to the paper-bag skirt you'll spot everywhere this spring to the faux-leather shirt I confess I already got. Happy shopping.
