Fashion writer’s favourite picks from H&M’s summer sale

Shoppers can get their hands on numerous impressive discounts across a variety of items in the impressive H&M summer sale. Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of jeans for the autumn or a summer dress for a special event, there are plenty of deals to be had.

Despite sales not being the easiest places to navigate, they are a goldmine of items just waiting to be purchased. As someone who relishes finding a bargain or two, particularly when it comes to clothing, I always make a point of checking the sales first for some excellent basic options.

And being a fan of H&M’s clothing, I decided to delve into its website to see what basic items I could unearth in its summer sale.

For those planning a summer getaway in the coming weeks, this Oversized Jersey Dress now priced at £5 could be ideal for warm days spent strolling along the beach. What I really appreciate about the dress is its oversized fit, ensuring you won’t feel too constricted or overheated in the warmer weather. You can team this with either sandals or trainers, depending on your preference.

Another summer essential is a pair of denim shorts, and H&M has a pair of High-waisted Denim Shorts available for £8 in the sale. When it comes to denim shorts, I favour a more distressed hem, but these not only look stylish but also comfortable, which is definitely a must-have for denim shorts. These ones come in a light blue denim shade, but there are other colours available, although some are not included in the sale.

These Slip-on trainers could be the perfect addition to any summer outfit, and despite not being a piece of clothing these have a great deal on them. Despite being more inclined towards branded shoes, these definitely caught my attention and I would certainly consider purchasing them. Priced at £8, down from £21, these trainers would pair well with shorts or even a summer dress.

Another non-clothing item that has caught my eye is the chain’s Bucket Bag, which comes in two colours and is priced at £11 in the sale. I’m a fan of a good bag, and one that can be used for work or a trip into town is ideal for me – this bag fits the bill. The single strap is stylish and the large pocket is practical for carrying anything.

Lastly, the final brilliant basic that’ll prepare you for the cooler months is a Long Cardigan, reduced to £12 in the sale. Having invested in a long cardigan last winter, I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. Not only is it stylish, but this cardigan is the perfect casual addition to any outfit and can even double as a jacket if it’s not too cold outside.

If nothing here has quite piqued your interest, why not head over to the H&M website to see what else the sale has to offer.
