7 Best New H&M Fashion Finds Hitting Shelves This Week

First off, you need to know I’ve long turned to H&M as my go-to source for holiday party sparkly things and it looks like sequins are paying off for them. The chain retailer’s the right spot for joyful maximalism for a reason: the party clothes are tasteful and affordable if you need something you wear once for that one night of revelry. So that’s why I’m encouraging you to turn to the Swedes for sparkly things. This is a list of standout pieces that just hit shelves to make you feel special when you put them on. H&M’s good for last-minute finds that could look couture with the right photo filters, which I want to make a comeback. I chose things that were “designer” enough to be worth it, and I capped the finds on this list at juuust under $50, which is just enough to spend on a decadent moment.

Get in, we’re going browsing. FYI: I saved the very best for last.

It’s easy to recommend a pair of these at $29 a pop in bright cherry red or black. I’m recommending the siren call of red and a red lip. Classic. This trendy shoe shape has been garnering attention on social media where some of Instagram’s favorite doyennes are nestling their feet into low-heeled pointed toe slingbacks. It’s nice to have shoes you can feel comfortable dancing the night away in that you can wear when you have to be a professional person with equal assurance. Size down so the strap hugs your feet.

This. Top. I’m officially obsessed with this sweetheart neckline and cool girl deep green color. Lined with jersey, the new H&M arrival is just so flattering, feminine and goddessy for the right price. Love the invisible zipper on the side. Would be perfect under a blazer or without to show off that collarbone.

This short-sleeved dress just wears so well and comes in the trio of the best seasonal colors: emerald green, and merlot, and jet black. I’m into dressing like luxurious curtains a villain could hide behind, which is why this is calling to me for you. The site shows it with flats, but tall boots would nail the proportions best. The way the asymmetrical draping flows makes this feel luxurious and teaches you how to walk. At $17.99, this delivers on value.

The fabrication of this bell-sleeved mini that can make you look like a Christmas tree topper is spot on for any holiday gathering. The skirt is just the right quantity of voluminous without it veering into princess territory and the jacquard-weave fabric makes this look a lot more expensive than it is. Sold.

The streets are cold, but this dress is hot. The vertical gathered seam and long length really accentuate the figure, and it’s that lush wine color you’re seeing on wedding guests and manicures. It’s the closest you can get to the straight-up see-through naked dress trend without going there. It’s a party.

Two words: more velour. I know we just met Best Life audience, but I never met a bow I didn’t like so it’s important you’re aware of my bow bias. Remember in that show about Oregon Portlandia where they were always saying “put a bird on it“? It’s me, but with bows. I would put a bow in my coffee it I could, but can you really resist how precious these satin-lined pointed toe shoes are? Crossing your legs in these means you wordlessly communicate everything that needs to be said. They have thin ankle straps and come in brown/leopard, black and red. I’m in.

I told you I’d save the best party look for last and this one’s for When you’re all partied out. And after a long night of dinner, dancing and frolicking around, you need cotton flannel pajamas in the two patterns burned into our consciousness from Hollywood Christmas aesthetics, and that’s what this set is. The cuffed shirt is so perfect for making breakfast in on your holiday party recovery days. Dressing for bed should be an occasion. Party on.
