35 H&M Basics That Make It Easy to Be On-Trend
Do you ever scroll through H&M after not doing so for a while and realize you've really been missing out? ("A while" could be as short as a week since H&M gets new arrivals constantly.) That's what I did today, and it was a real treat. My number one observation is that the holy-grail affordable retailer has tons of basics in stock that are also trendy—but not "over-the-top pieces that will probably be out of style next season" trendy. They're just subtle items that make you look like a fashion girl with a knack for finding the best stuff on H&M.
Instead of making you scroll through thousands of H&M items to see what I mean, I went ahead and found the most on-trend basics on offer, with options to be worn for travel, evenings out, beach days, picnics, and everything in between. Keep scrolling to get the goods, and feel free to thank me later.
I have a collection of cute black tops for summer, and I wear them all.
I don't see why a bikini can't be a basic.
Shop the matching Padded Bikini Top ($20).
Just in case you're one of those people who brings a jacket everywhere in the summer (like me).
You know you want the matching shirt, too.
Next up, these are the best under-$50 items from H&M of the season.
