H&M Sells Out of These $30 Pants Every Summer Like Clockwork
There are a few things I've come to expect in life. There will be a wait at Lucien on a Friday night, but if you're patient, the best seat in the house is at the bar. Miuccia Prada will be the best dressed person at both Prada's and Miu Miu's runway shows, no matter the celebrities or tastemakers in attendance. I will take the free Biscoff cookies if I'm flying Delta (with a coffee, even though everyone says it's disgusting). And finally, H&M will sell out of its linen pants every time summer rolls around. These are facts of life, and ones that likely will never change.
So, when I spotted a pair of said viral H&M white linen pants among the brand's summer 2025 new arrivals recently, I knew what I had to do. That is, order my size before every size sells out and stays sold out for the remainder of summer. This outcome is inevitable, and I refuse to be burned by procrastination like I have been in the past.
Because sharing is caring and I want the best karma I can get, I refuse to gatekeep my find. After all, everyone deserves to own at least one pair of comfy, chic, and easy bottoms during the warmer months. They go with everything and, in my opinion, are chicer than any pair of shorts on the market. Plus, this year, they only cost $30 and come in 11 colors, ranging from classic white to striped navy, all of which are available in all sizes at the time of publishing.
That last part won't be the case for long. Before you miss out like I have in previous summers, fill up your H&M shopping cart with the best summer pants, well, ever.
