It’s no secret that H&M is a trove of summer-ready finds these days. From swimwear to sandals to dresses, the site has literally everything one could need for a well-balanced (and affordable) warm-weather wardrobe. However, in case you’re looking to keep your buy from the already-accessible brand especially low, today I figured I would share all of the under-$30 items I’m eyeing from H&M right now because, honestly, there are a lot of them. Thirty-eight to be exact, and that was after a conscious effort to curate! To see and shop my budget-friendly edit, which (as always) includes a mix of trend-forward pieces and essential basics, simply keep scrolling. Then, go ahead and bookmark these easy summer outfit ideas when you’re done.

Under $50

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
