H&M

POPSUGAR Photography | Jen Kay

When we took a look at H&M's Spring collection, rich with woven fabrics and intricate appliqués, we knew we wanted to profile it in a unique way – by letting POPSUGAR staffers dress themselves in it. And we didn't have to look far to find colleagues who had a soft spot for the fast-fashion retailer – the brand's got serious fashion cred, attracting the attention of celebrities and influencers alike.

So after getting our hands on a number of pieces from the Spring campaign, we tasked our co-workers with the job of putting together looks that were unequivocally them. Find out how these seven editors styled H&M pieces to reflect their personal styles (and hometowns!) and why they just can't get enough.

Stephanie Wong

What she's wearing: Stephanie's in an embroidered tunic with decorative tassels and taupe ankle boots.

How she feels: "I'm originally from San Diego, so whenever there's a chance to wear a dress in San Francisco, I take it. I love how this white flowy dress can be dressed up for work or worn as the perfect beach cover-up."

Hannah Weil McKinley

What she's wearing: Wide-cut cotton skirt (with pockets!), crop top, and suede sandals with lacing.

How she feels: "Nothing feels more quintessentially Spring than a full, feminine skirt, bare legs, and sandals. I love that this look is polished enough to wear to the office — with just a sliver of skin on display — and I love even more just how easy it is. This is my lady-like-with-a-twist look — equal parts sophisticated and cool."

Lisette Mejia

What she's wearing: Lisette is wearing an olive button-town shift dress, an embroidered jacket, and black ankle booties with tassels.

How she feels: "I love how versatile this jacket is. Doesn't matter whether you wear it open or tie it closed — it'll look fabulous. It's also a great layering piece since it's not too bulky, but the best part is the fun pattern. Can I keep this in my closet forever?"

Brinton Parker

What she's wearing: Brinton is in a striped skirt with frayed hem, wide-cut off-the-shoulder top, and fringe ankle booties.

How she feels: "I especially love this top because, while it's strappy, the off-the-shoulder cut is unique enough to make an entire outfit. It's also a basic piece that I could pair with anything in my closet. I'd love to try it tucked into the front of some high-waisted pants."

Stephanie Nguyen

What she's wearing: Ankle-length flare jeans, a striped top, and black ankle boots.

How she feels: "My style definitely reflects the NYC scene — it's sleek, urban, and slightly grungy. I was instantly drawn to the retro '90s vibe of these flare jeans, with the undone, raw finish and overdyed hem. I paired them with a ribbed sweater to keep with the subtle '90s theme as well as complement the hemline of the pant."

Rebecca Brown

What she's wearing: Wide-leg pants, a halter crop top, and platform clogs.

How she feels: "I feel most comfortable in big, drapey pants and a crop top – something about the juxtaposition between wearing something small with something oversize feels natural and balanced to me. Since living in New York, I've never been able to shake my affinity for wearing black. I can see this outfit working on both coasts, weather permitting."

Nicole Yi

What she's wearing: Nicole is in cropped skinny jeans, a flowy peasant top, denim jacket, and platform sandals.

How she feels: "The platform sandals and jean jacket were my favorites because you can easily take them from day to night. The sandals gave me comfy height all while adding some edge to a supercasual outfit. I loved how versatile both pieces were."
