If You Thought These 25 H&M Items Were Designer, I Wouldn't Blame You

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. And 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-fitting blazer or a pair of polished wide-leg trousers. To see them for yourself and shop all of the expensive-looking items in my shopping basket, keep scrolling on…
