I Wore H&M Every Day for a Week—These Were My Favourite Looks

The lighting in my picture makes this look a slightly different colour, but this suit is the perfect shade of pistachio green. It's light, airy, and perfect for spring but still has the structure that I think a good blazer needs in order to avoid looking too cheap. (I wore it without a top underneath, but as it's single breasted, expect a plunging V.)

I cannot fault these trousers, and I found the perfect pairing to be sizing up on the blazer for a boxier fit and getting your regular size in these tailored pants. Not too wide, and certainly not cigarette slim, they have just the right amount of slouch to feel cool and contemporary.  

I'm still kitten-heel obsessed, and these are next on my wish list. 

I for one am so glad to see the return of the waistcoat. It's not often I wear one under a blazer or as part of a three-piece suit, but I love wearing one on its own as a dressier alternative to a T-shirt or blouse. The office collectively ooh'd as I showed them this, and as an opinionated group of selective shoppers, this is a very good sign.

I initially picked these up thinking that they would be wide-leg but was pleasantly surprised by the slimmer fit. I have an aversion to any trousers that are wide around the hips and taper to the ankle, but these have a soft, subtle flare that lends well to wearing them with heels. 

One of the best trench coats I've worn lately. An unbeatable price, pleasing weight and just the right shade of neutral beige to go with everything in your wardrobe.

Perhaps it was the toasty heating in the Who What Wear office, but by the time I got around to this number, I was ready to shed the layers and opt for a lighter dress. It does have sleeves (to prove I'm not entirely in summer dress mode), and I added an oversized shirt to layer up if I needed it, but this is the kind of dress I wear on rotation. Dress it up with a statement earring and a heeled sandal, or keep it casual with a chunky loafer. Either way, you can get two diametrically opposed looks in just one dress. I call that a wise investment. 

A heads-up: This isn't a sharp, cotton shirt; it's a silkier chiffon with a subtle crinkle, so before you may be tempted to iron it smooth, it is supposed to be worn nonchalantly tucked in. 

Wear these loafers with everything from jeans to mini skirts and tailored trousers to midi dresses. 

Granted, this is not the average Thursday-in-the-office dress, so I didn't wear it all day, but I love everything about the fit, feel and silhouette, and it's the reason I immediately start sending texts to make evening plans. The polka-dot version doesn't appear to be shoppable online yet (so I will be keeping my eyes peeled), but the sophisticated all-black version looks just as good with the sleeves pulled up into a sweetheart neckline as it does worn entirely off the shoulder. 

We debated back and forth about whether this was a real leather shirt, as A) the quality is so good, and B) there are so many brilliant faux-leather options available on the market now, but after checking the price and label, this faux-leather shirt is a great dupe for a real. I just about managed to tuck it in, but it would be easily worn open or buttoned up over a turtleneck until the weather warms up. And I'd be tempted to buy this for those cuffs alone…

Take this shirt from desk to dinner with the easy addition of strappy heels. 

The weekend calls for comfy-casual, so rewearing Tuesday's trench with a T-shirt and jeans is the best idea I've had all week. I've stocked up on H&M's white T-shirts because unlike some of a similar price, they don't go sheer when stretched. 

Easily the most flattering jeans shape for every body. I can confidently say H&M jeans are some of my favourite on the market. 

Mary Janes are a strong contender for shoes of the season. 

We were talking about this jacket long before I even went into the store, as it's currently enjoying a TikTok-viral moment. Granted, shoppers are currently buying it along with the matching trousers to wear as a two-piece co-ord, but I prefer toughening up such a cute jacket with some (faux) leather. 

Sizes XXS to L are currently sold out in blue and low in stock in cream, but it's worth signing up notifications to get first dibs on the next drop. 

These are a favourite that I've come back to time and again. I love leather trousers but hate the thought of spray-on leggings, so this looser leg is the secret to comfy leather so soft you'll forget you're wearing anything.

I'm a sucker for a square toe.
