If You Thought These New H&M Buys Were Designer, I Wouldn't Blame You
It can't just be me who thinks these excellent new-in H&M finds could easily pass for designer. Scroll to see and shop my picks.
It can't just be me—I had to do a double-take when I saw these H&M finds because they're just so good. Perusing the site's new arrivals is a weekly activity of mine, and on my latest visit, I came across more than a few finds that actually stopped me dead in my scrolling. While most of these pieces fall under the £150 mark, I wouldn't blame you for assuming otherwise.

As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details, and since I'm always looking at designer clothing, I can easily spot those luxe details elsewhere. The H&M pieces you're about to see below immediately reminded me of something I would see at a luxury retailer, whether it's a well-made knit, wide-leg trousers or a designer-passing handbag. There were so many chic pieces on my last visit to the website, in fact, that I ended up ordering a number of these winter staples myself.
Read on to see H&M's most expensive-looking buys in one neat edit for you below. You can thank me later!
