H&M edit: Best new season buys

Forget splashing the cash on new season trends - turn your attention to wardrobe basics for unbeatable value for money.

It's a tricky time of the year with shops full of pretty florals and bright colours but the weather is suggestive of more modest wardrobe choices.

No need to fling yourself head first into summer, there's a mid-season shopping solution that won't leave you - literally - out in the cold.

H&M has come to the rescue with a new drop it's dubbed "modern essentials".

Made up of classic pieces that together make up a timeless capsule wardrobe; tailored blazers and trousers, linen dresses, cami tops and smart shorts - all in the mix and match colour palette of cream, black and navy.

And with prices from £24.99, you really can't go wrong.
