I’m a Stylist— Here’s 7 Spring Trends I’m Turning to H&M For This Season

April 04, 2022 at 06:00AM

If you’re an avid Who What Wear UK reader you’ll know how much we rate H&M for expensive-looking, affordable fashion. As editors, of course we try to encourage shopping from diverse sources— some vintage, some independent and some investment designer pieces as well as high street— to create a truly versatile collection that lasts. But we all turn to H&M to bolster our wardrobes with trend-led pieces and elevated staples each season as well. As a stylist too, it’s also the high street brand I find myself recommending to clients most often when they’re looking for a polished look on a budget. 

So, as spring gets under way (hopefully for real this time), I spent hours doing a deep dive of the brand’s new-in section to see exactly which trends and winning pieces H&M are doing best this season. I came back with seven in particular that really impressed me— whether that was because of the depth of options, the size diversity, the premium quality or the great value. From spring-perfect floral pieces to easy, everyday dresses and slick suiting— keep scrolling and you’ll find the trends I’ll be turning to H&M for first on the high street this season. 

I’m a big fan of suits and how polished they can make you look with ease, so I’ve kept a keen eye on all the high street’s new collections for the perfect styles this season. Hands down, H&M has the best offering with bright wedding-guest ready options as well as neutral everyday iterations— and the best part is you can also wear them as separates to get the most out of new purchases. 

Throw-on dresses are a spring saviour, and it’s something H&M does really well every year. The latest spring drop hasn’t disappointed and there’s so many options to dress up or down. 

It might not be quite time for head-to-toe linen yet, but adding in one or two elements to a layered outfit now can make your outfits feel really fresh. Plus, these pieces are so good they’ll likely all be sold out by the time the next heatwave hits. 

One of my top tips for shopping H&M (and all high street) is to opt for minimalist staples in neutral tones that won’t age so quickly. Luckily it’s one of H&M’s strongest suits and whether you’re looking for an understated dress or the perfect wide-leg trouser,  you’ll likely find them in this new spring collection. 

SS22 sees the return of denim in all its forms. There’s jackets, shirts, midi skirts and dresses, as well as plenty of new jeans shapes to get you out of your straight-leg rut. Keep scrolling to see what H&M has to offer… 

Florals for spring aren’t groundbreaking— we know that. But the way H&M has incorporated some dainty prints into its most loved designs keep them feeling fresh and versatile for the new year ahead. 

The simplest way to elevate all your current outfits and bring them into spring? Add a fun new accessory. Whether that’s a cute sandal or basket bag, H&M has so many affordable options that really impressed me this season, but here’s a few of my favourites.
