It would be remiss of me to not mention H&M's stronghold in my wardrobe—and it's clear that the most fashionable people in London feel the same about this high-street brand. Whilst we find our most coveted pieces from a variety of stores, leave it to H&M to offer up pieces that look far more expensive than they are. In fact, it's nearly always in my top three, along with Arket and COS, which is handy, considering they can all be shopped in one place on the H&M website and app nowadays.
This season, I've spotted the same types of pieces appearing all around the streets of London. Whether it's designer-looking jeans, an extremely sleek pair of suede loafers or a well-tailored waisted cardigan, it's clear H&M has winning pieces that aren't going unnoticed. I've felt the same, as my Favourites list is often too full to add to. And with spring and summer styles trickling their way in, I, of course, can't help but compile a wish list for the coming months.

With several H&M stores on every major high street in the capital, it's a regular occurrence to see its pieces when you're out and about. But whilst we all eagerly await new edits and collaborations, the latest additions to the main line will most certainly suffice.
There are seven pieces I've clocked as worthy additions that Londoners are stocking up on this season. This includes relaxed white shirts (which will go with just about any look), nipped-in waisted cardigans, barrel-leg jeans, large totes, and the barn jacket—which has taken the UK by storm, let alone London.
So, out of the thousands of new pieces at H&M, here are 7 options we've noticed on the streets of London that won't lead you astray when you're putting together looks this season. Enjoy!
