The return of social events after an uncertain year has never been more exciting. With offices reopening, families reuniting, and friends gathering safely, we now have reasons to get dressed [1] and go somewhere. From easygoing sleeveless midis to edgy checkered minis, H&M has some undeniably stylish pieces [2] that are speaking to us right now.
It feels particularly exciting to shop these fashion finds with social plans in mind. If you're looking to update your autumn assortment and throw in a couple head-turning options (peep the orange-and-purple cutout mini or the defined-shoulder dress), just scroll on.
