A few nights back, in a bustling restaurant in Lower Manhattan, I regaled fellow fashion editors about one specific topic: sale shopping. Some might say the allure of scouring the sale section could be chopped up to a rise in endorphins, but it's more than that. There's something magical about finding a great deal in real life or on the internet. It's an experience that can enchant anyone, fashion editor or otherwise.
But even if you don't find sale shopping all that exhilarating, you likely know the importance of scoring a deal. With rising inflation, it's imperative to be intentional with what you're buying, especially in the clothing department. You want to buy pieces that don't break the bank and can be worn for extended periods. And what better place to do just that than at H&M? While most may consider the large retailer the place to shop for "trendier" items, it's also a treasure trove of great staples.
What's more, H&M offers great flash sales‚ including one ending today. Shoppers can get 15% off purchases of $60, 20% off $80, or 25% off $100, plus free shipping until April 30. It's a great way to stock up on the essentials for half the price. But if you're still dubious about what gems can be found at H&M, you'll want to keep reading. I've done some deep-scrolling to identify 35 perfect spring-to-summer staples for any wardrobe. These items are not only timeless, but they're sure to make even the most anti-sale shoppers get goosebumps.
