As much as we love shopping for the latest on trend pieces, we've got to have great basics [1] on hand, otherwise it can feel impossible to put a full outfit together. Plus, as we're getting dressed on a more consistent basis again, it's important to have some staples in your closet that look good with everything. That's why, when we're shopping for staples, we turn to H&M [2].
These 15 pieces will work with your wardrobe, no matter what your personal style looks like. From cute jeans [3] to cropped cardigans and even essential bags [4], you'll be obsessed with every single piece. Plus, not one is over $40, which means we might just be buying a few things. Keep on reading to shop!
