H&M just dropped the chicest ballerina-inspired collection and I want it all
The new-in section is a treasure trove of designer-inspired gems right now


With the weather finally getting warmer, H&M’s new-in page is filled with elevated spring buys that are just too good to miss. The high-street favourite has tapped into some major trends with its latest offering, specifically ballet-inspired pieces—including sleek wedding guest dresses, sharp tailoring, and dreamy boho blouses in sheer fabrics. Consider me obsessed.
As a fashion editor who is always on the lookout for the very best pieces on the high street, H&M tends to be my first port of call. In my opinion, the brand can't be beaten when it comes to affordable yet elevated designs. With a great mix of timeless basics and on-trend pieces that will upgrade everyday outfits, H&M will always have something I'm looking for.
The only downside with H&M is that the pieces are so good, they tend to sell out instantly—so it's only natural that I keep my finger firmly on the pulse of what's new. I've scrolled through the latest arrivals and picked the 16 best pieces from H&M's new-in section that will have your trans-seasonal wardrobe covered.
Oh, and if you're a fan of editor-approved new-in picks, don't forget to check out our top selections from COS, Arket, Net-a-Porter, Zara and Massimo Dutti too.

A great midi skirt is a capsule wardrobe essential, and this is one of the best we've seen on the high street. The semi-sheer material, neutral hue and pretty embellishment give the staple a soft, feminine feel.
This pretty cami top is a no-brainer for days when you want to look put-together but with as little effort as possible.
This lingerie-style, baby-pink dress looks far more up-market than its high-street price tag would suggest. Style with a pair of gladiator sandals come summer, or layer with a grey knit on cooler days.
Waistcoats were everywhere this time last year, and they're still a strong style move this time around. I love this update on the silhouette, that's more oversized and features a side slit for the ultimate in off-duty cool.
Leave it to H&M to create the ultimate statement earrings. These will elevate even the simplest of outfits.
Featuring French knot embroidery on the bodice, this mini would be great as a second wedding dress—especially since it's less than £50.
Looking to switch up your everyday flats? These ballerina-inspired pumps feel fresh thanks to their asymmetric toe.
White skirts are here to stay. Style with loafers and a knit whilst it's still a little chilly.
These embroidered shorts are giving us major Chloé vibes—but for a lot less. Adding to cart immediately.
Kitten-heel thong sandals are a must-have at this time of year—and if you're shopping on a budget, this pair ticks all the boxes.
A great investment buy—that won't break the bank—this versatile dress can be paired with heels for a summer wedding, or ballet flats and a cardigan for the office.
Nothing screams summer like a new pair of sunglasses. This oversized aviator style feels particularly of-the-moment.
A pale-pink blazer will bring a fresh, feminine energy to warm weather basics.
Classic ballet attire typically includes a washed grey hoodie for added warmth before and after class. This top reimagines the dancer basic, but gives it a new lease of life styled with an elegant skirt and heels. We'll be copying this look exactly.
