For Elevated Spring Wardrobe Essentials, Look No Further Than the New H&M Studio Collection
11 affordable buys with a distinctly premium feel
Amelia Yeomans
H&M has just dropped the latest instalment of its always-hotly anticipated Studio collection, and this time, it's all about elevated essentials that will define your pre-season capsule wardrobe. As ever, it's filled with luxury-inspired buys that are just too good to miss, ranging from hardworking denim and patent accessories, to chic zip-ups and sharp suiting—all designed to help you curate a failsafe and timeless everyday wardrobe with a 90s minimalist edge.
"With Studio Essentials, everything is designed to be effortlessly styled—whether with the mainline Studio collections or existing wardrobes—and made using quality materials," says Shena Nordéus at H&M. "We honour timeless design while keeping the signature Studio edge. It’s minimal, cool, and endlessly wearable, giving our customers simple pieces that always look pulled together."
As a team that is always on the lookout for the very best pieces on the high street, H&M tends to be Marie Claire's first port of call. The brand truly can't be beaten when it comes to affordable and polished designs, offering a great mix of timeless basics and on-trend pieces with the power to endlessly upgrade everyday outfits.
The H&M Studio collections are particularly excellent, and tend to sell out fast for this very reason—so in the interest of time, we've scrolled through the latest arrivals and picked out the 11 best pieces that have just dropped online. Keep scrolling to see and shop them now.
Oh, and if you're a fan of editor-approved new-in picks, don't forget to check out our top selections from COS, Arket, Net-a-Porter, Zara and Massimo Dutti too.
