I just returned from Montréal, and while it isn't Paris, the city's people, streets, and cafés had me itching to channel the French vibe into my wardrobe. It seemed like pure fate when I clicked into an H&M email and saw that the affordable new-arrivals section was full of luxe-looking pieces that captured the essence of Parisian style to the T. I even sent a few items to our editors' Slack channel and instantly received notifications commenting on the product. Wait till you see the tweed ballet flats Associate Director of Special Projects Kristen Nichols loves.
While H&M has many trendy pieces (floral chokers, sparkly dresses, and more), this edit focuses on streamlined and classic items. The French fashion set still loves a trend here and there, so I've made a few exceptions. Many of the pieces resemble ones that have sold out quickly in the past, so I wouldn't wait too long before hitting purchase on something you're really interested in. Keep scrolling for striped sweaters, sharp tailoring, sleek denim cuts, and pretty dresses galore. Here's to cosplaying as a Parisian!
I know fall isn't here yet, but I'm preparing in advance by adding this to my jacket collection.
Sleek-looking jeans for less than $50? Don't mind if I do.
A stellar sweater that'll get so much wear next season, and even this one if you like to venture outside during the chilly summer nights.
No words.
Simply luxurious.
I��never met a classic black flat I didn't love.
The sleeves make this dress a must.
Everyone needs a chic little black bag.
People are always shocked when they ask where my favorite trousers are from, and I tell them H&M. It's true.
Is there such a thing as too many stripes? For me, the answer is absolutely not.
Hello, pretty.
The five-star reviews are really convincing me.
I cannot believe this is H&M. Can you?
Pair with jeans and you're all set to go.
The cinched waist is what really lured me in.
These look identical to a designer pair I own.
This is the kind of wardrobe basic my closet is missing.
I'm waiting for you, fall!
Sofia Richie would approve.
Drop it low.
I love the bag but also this entire outfit. Impeccable styling on this one, H&M!
Don't underestimate the power a simple belt can have on an outfit.
This coat looks designer.
A French wardrobe wouldn't be complete without one of these.
Fringe fun.
A subtle statement piece.
Not your average tank.
This color will easily go with anything.
While I love a good T-shirt, this silhouette is just as easy but a lot more elevated.
Can you tell I'm already excited for fall? In fact, I'd start wearing these boots now.
If you still don't own an everyday blazer, consider adding this affordable option to your cart.
This dress with the blazer from above on top? A 10/10 outfit.
I'm thoroughly impressed with H&M's accessories right now.
