I'm not sure if you've looked at H&M recently, but I encourage you to because it's really good right now. I don't love spending a lot of money on basics (honestly, who does?), but luckily for all of us, brands like H&M make lovely basics that are worthy of incorporating into our wardrobes.
Given that we'll be transitioning into a new season soon, I'm thinking ahead and made a list of basics that I need for summer and beyond. Obviously, no one wants to wear anything that looks cheap, so I'm prioritizing expensive-looking H&M basics. Another thing no one wants is to look dated, so I also geared my search toward basics with a trend-forward edge. H&M has plenty of items that check both of those boxes, so I predict we're all about to have very full carts.
