These H&M Buys Are Going to Dominate This Summer

As you know, H&M is one of the best high-street stores for not only identifying trends but starting them too. After a very successful spring, in which more H&M cult buys were born than ever before, if its latest drop is anything to go by, the high-street hot spot looks set to continue leading the affordable-style charge into summer, too.
You need only browse a few rows in its new-in section to be presented with just about every new-season trend going—at least, the ones most suited to this time of year. From must-have tank tops and tailored trousers to expensive-looking shoes and the co-ord that takes 30 seconds to style, there are so many ways you can refresh your wardrobe without having to website-hop. Keep scrolling to shop the H&M trends 2021 has to offer right now.
1. SUMMER TOPS
The humble summer top continues to reign supreme at H&M this summer. Choose between racerbacks, statement silhouettes or more classic fits—they are all sure to be warm-weather fail-safes.
Shop the trend:
2. WIDE TROUSERS
Wide-leg trousers are one of the biggest trends of spring 2021, and naturally, H&M is already leading the charge with its edit of loose trousers.
Shop the trend:
3. CHUNKY SANDALS
All too often, the high street overcompensates on its affordable sandals, adding unnecessary details to make them more interesting. However, H&M's current edit of chunky sandals is one of the chicest we've ever seen from the brand and will help carry you through the remainder of the year.
Shop the trend:
4. SHADES OF PINK
Pink is set to be one of the top colours to wear this season and is already making an impact on H&M's new-in section. The must-have item has to be its powdery shacket, which is beyond cool paired with chunky trainers.
Shop the trend:
5. SHORTS SETS
H&M's summer shorts are always impressive, and this season is no exception. We're falling hard for the brand's shorts-and-top pairings, which not only look good but also take 30 seconds to style.
Shop the trend:
6. LINEN SEPARATES
Last year, H&M sold out of a particular pair of linen trousers, and this year, they're back with plenty more warm-weather winners via loose shirts, cute dresses and smart tailoring.
Shop the trend:
7. MINISKIRTS
Mini hemlines are making a splash on the fashion scene this season, and H&M already has some of the best options out there. As we head into autumn, wear with opaque tights and chunky loafers for maximum It-girl appeal.
