I’m a fashion writer and these are my top picks from H&M’s summer sale

H&M has a great summer sale with plenty of brilliant discounts across a range of items for shoppers to get their hands one. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of jeans to take you into autumn or a summer dress for an occasion, there are plenty of bargains to go around.

I’m someone who loves to find a bargain or two, especially when it comes to clothes. For basic options I always check the sales first because, despite not being the easiest places to navigate, sales are a treasure trove of items just waiting to be bought.

As a lover of H&M’s clothes, I decided to have a trawl through its website to see what basics I could find in its summer sale.

For those headed away on a summer break in the next few weeks, this Oversized jersey Dress now costing £5 could be perfect for hot days walking along the beach. What I really like about the dress is its oversized, so you won’t feel too restricted or hot in the warmer weather. And you can pair this with sandals or trainers depending on your taste.

Another summer staple is a pair of denim shorts and H&M has a pair of High-waisted Denim Shorts going for £8 in the sale. When it comes to denim shorts I prefer a more distressed hem, but these not only look good but also comfortable which you definitely want from denim shorts. These one are a pale blue denim colour but there are other colours to choose from too.

Next up while not a piece of clothing, these Slip-on trainers could make the perfect addition to any outfit this summer. Costing £8, down from £21, these trainers would look great with shorts or even a summer dress. Despite being more of a branded shoes lover, these definitely caught my eye and I would definitely contemplate buying some. They do also come in a black colour.

Another non-clothing item that I love the look of is the chain’s Bucket Bag which comes in two colours and costs £11 in the sale. I love a good bag, and one that you can use for work or a trip into town is perfect for me and this gives that. The single strap is stylish and the single large pocket is great for anything.

Finally the last brilliant basic that’ll get you ready for the cooler months is a Long Cardigan which is down to £12 in the sale. Having invested in a long cardigan last winter, I would 100% recommend this to anyone. Not only stylish, this cardigan is the perfect casual addition to any outfit and can even be used as a jacket should it not be too cold outside.

If nothing has quite taken your fancy, why not head to the H&M website to see what else the sale has to offer.
