H&M's Luxe Basics Are Popping Off Right Now—Here's What I Tried

My review: If I had to pick favorites from this haul, it would have to be these pants and this belt. I've been seeing relaxed trousers all over my social feeds, but it's been hard to find a pair that fits in my budget, doesn't have to be tailored, and, most of all, is comfortable. I was hesitant about the jersey material of these pants, but they still feel and look expensive while keeping me comfy. This pair is low in stock, but there are plenty more relaxed trousers on H&M's roster.

The belt is the perfect pairing with these pants, but I know I'll be getting much more wear out of it with other pieces in my wardrobe. It's hard to find luxe-looking belts that aren't very expensive, so I truly hit the jackpot with this belt and would recommend it to everyone I know.

My review: I know poplin shirts are a fashion-set favorite, but I can be a little sensitive to the roughness of the fabric. This one is soft cotton, and I've already worn it multiple times in the past two weeks. It checks all my boxes.

When it comes to T-shirts, I've always found my favorite options in the men's section. This one was only $7, and it not only is soft but also has the relaxed fit I love.

My review: When I first tried on this sweater, I was shocked at how soft it was. Usually, cheaper sweaters have this itchy quality that makes me regret my purchase. But this? It's 100% worth it. It's already sold out twice, but I'm happy to see that it's been restocked so you can join the fun and get one of your own. The sleeves are a little on the shorter end, but that's probably my only tiny woe with this item.

My review: I have to say I'm impressed with the quality of knits from H&M. This one comes with matching pants, but I personally prefer the top on its own. A note on the fit: If you want a loose, comfortable fit like the model has, I would suggest sizing up. I love the fitted look, but I like my knits to have a cozy feel.

My review: Again, another top-notch knit from H&M. While I loved the quality of the dress, the fit wasn't exactly my favorite. If you're on the shorter side, this dress may be a little overwhelming. I wanted it to be more flattering, but it was loose in places I wouldn't expect it to be. I would definitely suggest going a size down on this one.

My review: When I first wore this sweater, someone genuinely asked me if it was from The Frankie Shop, and to me, that's a compliment. I've never tried H&M's premium collection before, and this cardigan reminds me to take a look into that category more often. It's a thick knit, so I know it'll keep me warm on chilly days. Sometimes sweaters can shed, so I like how this one is a silk blend. Unfortunately, this is sold out at the moment, but I'd recommend taking a look at H&M's other quality cardigans.
