Our fall wardrobes are about to be so chic this year — and H&M's latest drop of new fashion arrivals for August is proof. The clothing retailer — beloved for its wide array of polished and preppy styles that are ideal for upping your street style game and tapping into each season's biggest trends (even if you're on a budget) — just debuted its latest collection of fashion arrivals to celebrate the new month. And let me tell you: I already know you're going to see these styles everywhere this season.

From crochet halter tops and chunky sandals to cargo pants, shirtdresses, statement blazers, and even a cropped cardigan or two, H&M is fully embracing the (unsurprising) resurgence of '90s fashion trends this season — in all of their oversize, monochromatic, and straight-up grunge glory. While I'm no stranger to H&M's new-arrivals section (full disclosure: it's literally bookmarked on my phone), this particular drop has me wanting to clear out my entire wardrobe just to make space for these bold autumnal styles.

And since we're not in the business of gatekeeping good fashion finds here at POPSUGAR, I've rounded up a few of the most stylish pieces worth shopping from H&M's August arrivals — all inimitably chic and (bonus!) under $50. Read on to browse the selection!

Blazers have had a pretty big moment all year — and the unrequited love for the style is expected to continue well into the fall. We're loving the look of this H&M Double-Breasted Jacket ($35) in particular. Beyond the oversize silhouette, we're equally as obsessed with the delicate pink coloring that's perfect for tapping into the Barbiecore aesthetic.

Move over, denim pants — denim dresses are the real style essential in our book. And this cropped H&M Denim Shirt Dress ($30) proves it, thanks to the piece's straight-cut silhouette and snap fasteners at the front. Best of all: the dress is available to shop in four different washes.

We had no idea that a cropped cardigan could be so cute — that is until we saw this argyle H&M Short Cardigan ($18). The style pays homage to the prep aesthetic with its symmetrical and eye-popping design — though it's also available to shop in three solid colors: brown, beige, and orange. Whether you're pairing it with a classic pair of denim or dressing it up with a pleated skirt, the cardigan provides so much style versatility.
