The good news is Spring's warm weather is (almost) here. It’s set to hit 50 degrees in New York City today, and I’ve been able to opt out of my puffers for the first time in months. Doing so has made me realize I’m severely lacking in the transitional dressing department. My heavy sweaters are too chunky for the warmer weather, and I long to wear something other than heavy-bottomed boots now that the sun is out. So, I set my sights on H&M’s new collection.
It’s full of pieces I’m dying to style, like striped sweaters, lightweight spring jackets, and pretty ballet flats. All of my favorite pieces from the drop cost less than $100 and look way more expensive than their piece tags let on. The range is basically my editor-approved hack for looking luxurious on a budget—and I’m letting all of you in on the secret.
Keep scrolling to shop my latest rich-looking finds. These picks include everything you need to build out the best-ever spring closet, from knit T-shirts to a few of spring's incoming trend-influenced finds so you can shop like a seasoned fashion editor without completely breaking the bank.
