After what feels like the longest winter in recorded history, warm weather is finally on the way. It'll be a constant 70 degrees and sunny in New York next week, so I've finally put my winter wardrobe in storage. However, I now have a shockingly empty closet, leaving me plenty of space to fill in the gaps with the latest fashion trends. Luckily, H&M's new summer collection has me covered.
Forget a capsule wardrobe—I'm tempted to add the entire drop to my rotation. There are linen pants in every neutral shade, butter yellow separates I'm dying to style, summery dresses for all of the occasions on my agenda, and plenty of tops that I can wear into the office this summer. Moreover, every just-launched piece costs less than $100, which you would've never guessed considering how elegant they look. My rich-looking outfits just got so much easier to create.
Keep scrolling for a full rundown of everything I'm eyeing from H&M's new collection. These picks include elevated basics, spring workwear, and dressier finds, so you can have a well-rounded summer closet while sticking to your budget.
