My ultimate easy and comfortable summer outfit combination consists of just 3 must-have items:
It's that simple! I literally always use this combination when I'm in a rush and don't know what to wear...so basically every day! Looking for the perfect, breezy summer dresses to finish that formula? H&M has so many stylish options, and all for under $50! So, I've compiled all my favorites that are comfortable and cute just in time for the summer!
H&M Dress with Macramé Belt
An easy way to be comfortable while looking put together is with a belted shirt dress. It's extremely easy to wear, but snatches at the waist for a more profresh look. I love the casual styling above, but could also see this with some wedges and statement earrings for something bolder.
H&M Linen White/Blue Floral Midi Dress
This dress screams Farm Rio — a much more expensive brand — takes on french style to me. The blue and white combo are so chic and summery. Most sizes are low in stock, so if you can't grab it be sure to sign up for restock notifications. In the meantime, the other white and blue pattern is just as lovely and way more in stock!
H&M Smocked-Bodice Dress
A classic white summer dress is another incredibly easy outfit element that goes with anything! I'm constantly reaching for a white midi dress is something I'm constantly reaching for, and I love how classic this one is. I mean, can you get enough of these Doen vibes?!
H&M Drawstring-Detail Maxi Dress
One thing I'm trying to do for the summer: wear more color! And this perfect, pink maxi dress is a great way to add in some color and pair with some fun accessories! Grab some pink earrings and white sandals for a cute, casual look!
H&M Button-Front Crêpe Dress
Mamma Mia called and she wants her dress back! This looks like it was taken right from the streets of Greece, and I love it! Plus, it's oversized so it will be sooo comfortable to wear on a daily basis!
H&M Smocked Blue Dress
Smocked dresses are so classy and incredibly flattering for all body types! This blue color is beautiful and honestly, it's giving the color of the season! For under $50, it's such an ideal find!
H&M Ladder-Stitch-Look Knit Mini Dress
You can take this dress straight from the beach to lunch! It's super on trend right now, especially with how it's styled above with the gold gladiator sandals and straw basket bag! This is low stock right now, so be sure to sign up for notifications for your size!
H&M Oversized Cotton Dress
This dress looks like it's perfect for all your Euro-summer needs! I could envision strolling the streets of Italy, or the beaches of the South of France in this dress for sure. I love how simple it is because it's good to go casual, but it would also be great styled up for dinner as well!
H&M Embroidered Midi Dress
Embroidered dresses are such a fun way to add personality to your outfit, and this one is a great option! These are the types of pieces that I keep in my closet for years to come, no matter where they're from! They're timeless, in my opinion.
H&M Lyocell-Blend Shirt Dress
Speaking of timeless, this shirt dress could easily be thrown on over your swimsuit and used as a chic coverup for lounging by the pool or beach! It's made out of a nice woven lyocell material that feels so comfortable on the skin, you won't want to take it off — and it's only $30!
H&M Utility Dress with Pleated Skirt
This one is a little different than the others with its chic utility style. While the dress is very stylized, it's also comfy too! I love how this was styled with a fun flat option instead of opting for a sandal! And for less than $50, I think it's such a good price to look fashionable on a budget!
H&M Tie Back Puffy Yellow Dress
This look incorporates two of my favorite trending items right now:
- Butter Yellow
- Puff Sleeves
And they both look SO good on this dress! I think it would be perfect for a lunch date, or even used as a more casual wedding guest dress option!
H&M Linen Blend Shirt Dress
Linen is essential for a breezy, easy, comfy-girl summer. It's such a breathable fabric, so it won't cause you to overheat or get too hot! This is the perfect way to achieve that effortless look in a stylish way.
H&M Bubble-Hem Bandeau Dress
Bubble hems are in right now, and it's probably one of my favorite trends for summer 2024! It's so chic but still fun and feminine! This one is probably one of the most affordable dresses I've found in this style so run to grab it now!
