I'm a Fashion Expert, But Even I Mistook These New-In H&M Pieces for Designer

There are some real gems to be found on the high street at the moment (despite the madness of sales), and who doesn’t love finding elevated pieces that look way beyond their price tags? But finding time to trawl through rails in-store or thousands of items online can be tricky, especially if you have a busy schedule, and even then, why waste all that time when I can do it for you?

This week, I popped into H&M to see what was new. I tried several pieces from its latest collection which I've rounded up here, along with some more items I found online that caught my eye.

H&M knows how to design a great statement dress, often in designer shapes but just without the expensive fabrics. Its Conscious range, which focuses on making environmentally friendlier pieces from recyclable or sustainably sourced materials, features great wardrobe classics such as tailoring and modern staples from boxy tees to menswear-style shirting. But there's one downside. They sell out pretty quickly, so if you do see something you love, don't delay.
