Just when I thought H&M couldn’t get any better, the Swedish fashion brand went and released a $40 version of the fall runway trend that I can’t seem to get out of my head. Mostly thanks to Chemena Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé—which successfully managed to do what so many designers have tried and failed to in revitalizing and refreshing the boho trend—flouncy, ruffled, chiffon dresses are dominating the fashion scene. Not only was the runway show a viral success, but Kamali’s dresses continued to make headlines at the Met Gala when Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, Greta Gerwig, and Emma Mackey all showed up in catwalk styles from the F/W 24 collection. Finally, there was Daisy Edgar-Jones’s Twisters press tour, which featured a number of bohemian Kamali originals, all of which the public ate right up. Clearly, the controversial aesthetic is back, and if you don’t have thousands of dollars to invest in it, H&M is ready and willing to help.

This week, H&M released a handful of Woodstock-ready frocks, with one particularly buy-worthy style costing just $40 despite how pricey it looks. The dress, called the Flounced Chiffon Dress, comes in two colors (caramel and blue) and is completely sheer, with long sleeves, a mid-calf hemline, and ties at the neck that you can either leave open or tie in a bow. The brand also released one more slightly dressier option in terracotta if that color is more your style. The best part? All three are on sale right now for a limited time.
