My Goal Is to Look Parisian On a $100 Budget—32 H&M Finds That Have My Attention

I just came back from Montreal and while yes, it isn’t Paris, the city’s people, streets, and cafes had me itching to channel the French vibe into my wardrobe. It seemed like pure fate when I clicked into an H&M email and saw that the affordable new arrivals section was chockful of luxe-looking pieces that captured the essence of Parisian style to the T. I even sent a few items to our editors’ group slack channel and instantly received notifications commenting on the product. (Wait till you see the tweed ballet flats or special projects director Kristen Nichols loves.)

While H&M has many trendy pieces (Floral chokers, sparkly dresses, and more), this edit focuses on the more streamlined and classic items. Although the French fashion set still loves a trend here and there, so we’ve made a few exceptions. Many of the pieces resemble ones that have sold out quickly in the past, so I wouldn’t wait too long before hitting purchase on something you’re really interested in. Keep scrolling for striped sweaters, sharp tailoring, sleek denim cuts, and pretty dresses galore. Here’s to cosplaying as a Parisian!
