Summer Vacation Is Booked, and Now I Have These Cheap H&M Finds In My Cart

The time for vacation dressing is upon us, and it seems like everyone on our Instagram feeds has gotten a new vibrant and summery wardrobe to put on display. And while it’s fun to vicariously live through all those luxe “get ready with me videos” (Sofia Richie’s, in particular, have my attention in a tight hold) but what if I told you that you can get the same looks, but on a more attainable budget? Yes, really. This is where H&M comes to play. Speaking for myself, I usually don’t splurge on many items when I’m packing for vacation but usually buy a few affordable pieces that I know will get a lot of wear when I’m OOO. 

Whether you have a flight booked or plan on hitting the local beach, these finds will easily become your most complimented this summer. Plus, they’ll pair perfectly with the basics you already have in your closet. Ahead, you’ll find ocean-inspired jewelry, beach bags, easy sandals, and much more. Keep scrolling to find the edit of vacation-ready finds that would make a great addition to any suitcase.

Mini bags are cute, but a roomy tote is a must on a beach trip. How else will you have space for both your vacation read and SPF?

How is this not sold out yet?

I love these, and not just because I’m re-obsessing over The Little Mermaid right now.

This whole look is the easy and relaxed vibe I want when traveling.

Simple but perfect.

You’ll wear these nonstop.

The little strap detail is what won me over.

No matter what your swimsuit is, this will make it look like it came straight off a resort runway.

Linen all day, everyday.

You need the matching pants, of course.

Or make it a short set, if that’s your preference.

Easy and breezy.

If you like wearing simple pieces while on vacation, add a fun touch with these metallic slides.

The 5-star reviews speak for themselves. 

I’m still on board with the rosette trend.

In anticipation of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, this shade of pink is on my mind right now. How great does it look against the natural straw?

Cheap and chic.

The kind of top that can be worn with anything—jeans, linen pants, wrap skirts, etc.

A summer staple.

There’s no need to buy a whole new wardrobe for vacation because buying a few pretty accessories like this will take anything you already own to the next level.

Calling all comfy and cozy lovers!

I expect these to sell out soon, just like every other pretty sandal H&M has dropped these past few weeks.

Now I know why there was an “all-white” dress code at the Hamptons’ party in Gossip Girl. It just looks incredibly chic.

Opt for a fun pair of shades on your next trip.

I need this entire look in my cart right now.

The under-$10 accessory the fashion set are all over right now.

Red hot.

Protect yourself from the sun in style.

Studded embellishments have quickly made a comeback.

There are so many printed sets on H&M’s website right now, but this is a personal favorite. I love the oversized fit.
