I'm not one to gatekeep, but I do pride myself on the fact that I can source the chicest H&M products, period. Do I have a dirty little secret that helps me do so? Yes, but up until now, I told no one about it. Well, you know what they say—new year, new me—so with that in mind, I figured the jig was up. There is one section on H&M's site that lends me the kind of curated edit I crave while shopping. This section is called the Trend Edit and can be found under the Trending Now tab.

Here, you will find an array of elevated basics, current trends, and more. While I wouldn't necessarily encourage you to solely shop within this section on H&M's site, I would nudge you to start there and work your way out. It's a great place to rely on when you're in need of those quality wardrobe basics, trends that aren't too over-the-top, and pieces that legit look triple the price.
