If You Like Outfits That Look Expensive, You Need to See These 39 H&M Finds

These days, I try to adhere to the three E's when it comes to my outfits—elegant, effortless, and expensive-looking. There's no question that I love a chic and easy ensemble that looks luxurious, and with the temps starting to rise, I'm leaning on sleek silhouettes and elegant fabrics. Think crisp white cotton and breezy linen that will keep me cool and looking elevated. Because I don't want to spend a fortune on my warm-weather outfits this season (I have a European summer vacation to plan, after all), I'm making a beeline to H&M. Right now, its spring/summer collection is filled to the brim with elevated basics that look way more expensive than their reasonable price tags. I've scoured the site from top to bottom so you don't have to and selected 39 styles that ooze a luxe-looking vibe. Below, take a look at my affordable edit, from sophisticated flats to linen pants.
