I Tried On H&M’s Elegant, Rich-Looking Spring Collection—9 Pieces That Will Sell Out By Next Week

If you check the H&M new-in section as frequently as I do, you may also feel that the spring collection is the chicest to date. The brand’s innate way of blending trending motifs with timeless silhouettes, restocking our basics, and offering fresh designs is a consistent draw, and my wish list has quickly filled up. With the temperatures rising and the sun shining, most of us don’t want to spend hours in the changing rooms hunting for the best buys of the season, so I took it upon myself to save you the time, letting you enjoy the sunshine whilst I round up the best H&M spring buys below.

As a shopping editor, I spend a lot of time in and out of changing rooms, ensuring that the chicest pieces also feel and fit as good as they look. So, I set aside a few hours to hunt through the H&M store and put the most expensive-looking spring buys to the test. My focus was on pieces that feel fresh for spring, but won’t feel dated next year or for many years to come. Balancing both a timeless look and a contemporary feel isn’t an easy feat, but one that H&M excels in time and time again.

To ensure that these new pieces are as worthwhile as possible, I’ve focused on the most reliable pieces in any spring wardrobe. First up, the return of dresses led me to hunt down a sleek update on the classic denim dress and a pretty boho style for languid spring days. As I’ve long sung the praises of H&M’s denim, I found a pair of barrel-leg jeans which feel like a fresh update in a white colourway, and pair seamlessly with the various pretty blouses in the collection (yes, it was hard to settle on just one!) As many of us are digging out our sweet blouses this season, I also sourced a pair of light linen-blend trousers that were so comfortable they immediately joined my wardrobe. Alongside, I wanted a skirt that was elegant enough to dress up or down, and settled on a light jersey style with a playful bubble-hem. Together, the pieces make for an elegant spring capsule wardrobe, blending seamlessly with my existing wardrobe and bringing a touch of newness (and refinement) to my spring looks.
