My Goal Is to Look Parisian on a $100 Budget—33 H&M Finds That Have My Attention
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!
