As you know, H&M is a great place to find trends that you don't want to spend a lot of money on. As you also know, it's also a great place to shop for basics that look more expensive than they actually are. And while a diverse wardrobe is wonderful, if you want the ease of shopping for an entire outfit (or seasonal wardrobe even) all at one place, you could certainly get away with it at H&M.

So where to even start? I find it easiest to build an outfit around a particular trend, adding on whatever basics best complement it. Easy to do at H&M. And currently, it has tons and tons of on-trend pieces for summer, from tiered dresses to sweatshorts to tangerine orange. Keep scrolling to shop the trends and the H&M basics that best suit them.

H&M Crêped Blouse

This pretty printed top works so well high-waisted shorts and flats.

H&M Puff-Sleeved Dress

H&M Puff-Sleeved Dress ($30)

A babydoll dress makes a statement on its own, so keep the rest of your look minimal.

H&M Dress Pants

These bold trousers work well with any neutral color.

H&M Sweatshorts

H&M Sweatshorts ($13)

Sweatshorts are a basic and a trend. I love dressing them up with an oversize button-down.

H&M Crinkled Dress

H&M Crinkled Dress ($15)

This unbelievably affordable midi dress is an outfit itself.

H&M Sports Bra Low Support

This sporty cropped top works beautifully with tailored pieces that dress it up a bit.

H&M Linen-Blend Shorts

H&M Linen-Blend Shorts ($35)

Fuchsia pleated suit shorts are as trendy as shorts get at the moment. I'd pair mine with a ribbed tank this summer.

H&M Crocheted Lace Bodysuit

H&M Crocheted Lace Bodysuit ($25)

Crochet is a major trend for summer, and I'm tempted to buy this pretty bodysuit in every color.

H&M Oversized Poplin Shirt

H&M Oversized Poplin Shirt ($50)

Celebs are wearing this easy outfit trend (an oversize button-down and bike shorts), and so can you.

H&M Wide-Leg Bermuda Shorts

Long shorts are better than short shorts. Here's how it's done.
