As part of our 2019 Summer Capsule, we’re super excited to have released HDH’s first pair of shorts! The Easy Short fits just like our customer-favorite French Seam Easy Wide-Leg Pant with its elastic waist, wider leg, and pockets.

The Easy Short rests higher on the waist and hits mid-thigh. Cuff the bottom hem for a slightly shorter short and different look. Order in a 4 different color ways in any size ranging from XS – Plus 4.

Brand NEW Summer Mini Collection!

Core Collection

This summer, we’re trying something new. Instead of releasing a full collection of 20 or so pieces, we’re releasing 5 pieces. 5 pieces that are easy to pack, are versatile, and act as what we think makes the perfect summer capsule wardrobe. We stuck exclusively to soft, beautiful, and lightweight fabrics, all of which complement eachother, and should also work seamlessly with other pieces in your closet.

Our friend Calvin helped us make this video to show how effortlessly each piece from the Summer Collection transitions from day to night. Watch the full video here!

Tomboy Looks with HDH

Typically, we release one lookbook per season with one model, one photographer, etc. Since we put an extra emphasis this season on size variety and adjustability in this collection, we asked a handful of women to choose their favorite garments from the collection and style them with pieces from their own wardrobes. By doing so, we gained new style inspiration and found ways to dress up and dress down some of our favorite pieces. Above is a selection of pieces that were dressed down to a more casual, tomboy ensemble.

While the Flare Ruffle Skirt for example can be worn elegantly with a pair of heels and a fitted blouse, we love how Jessica tucked in a relaxed-fit graphic tee and accessorized with gold jewelry and thrifted red loafers. We also love the versatility of a button-up such as the Button-Up Tunic Dress that is structured and clean-cut, but can be thrown over a pair of boyfriend jeans for a casual, easy, and everyday look.

Featured Pieces: French Seam Easy Wide-Leg Pant in Copper | Button-Up Tunic Dress in Nickel & White Stripe | Button-Up Pocket Top in Black | Flare Ruffle Skirt in Black | Button-Up Tunic Dress in Copper

Ask any Minnesotan. Spring makes it really hard to plan your outfits. Just last week it was in the 60’s, and then we received several inches of snow within the next 36 hours. You can’t safely “move the winter clothes to the basement” until mid June! This unpredictable weather just means we have to get creative with layers and find pieces that accommodate all weather situations.

We love how our Limited Edition Tabitha Tunic Dress looks when unbuttoned on top and worn over a t-shirt or sweater on colder days. The Tabitha Tunic Dress can also be worn completely unbuttoned as a long, light jacket. If it’s a nicer day, roll up the sleeves and pair with a pair of sandals. We’re biased, but really think the INNE Maria Mule and Lana Slide go with any outfit.

We’re also really loving our HDH Basics: Easy Pant lately. Its elastic waist makes for a comfy and easy bottom, and its delicate striped rib fabric and drape are flattering on a range of body types. Wear with our ribbed HDH Basics: Fitted Tee for a matching ribbed ensemble, or pair with a top such as our Limited Edition Meredith Button-Up for a more elevated, out-and-about look.

Other Featured Pieces: Tabitha Tunic Dress | HDH Basics: Fitted Tee | Meredith Button-Up | HDH Basics: Easy Pant | Abaca Amaro Bag | HDH Basics: Long Sleeve Reversible Top | HDH Basics: Swing Tank | HDH Basics: Easy Tapered Pant | Hal Tunic | Slit Tank | INNE Lana Slide | HDH Basics: Reversible Smock Dress | Button-Up Pocket Dress | Bow Top | Lapel Jacket Dress

Our friend, Emma Khan, is sadly our last feature in the series we’ve been doing the past couple months where we have women style our recent Spring Summer 2019 Collection with pieces from their own wardrobes. We hope you’ve been having fun getting to know each woman and picking up style tips, tricks, and inspiration along the way! For this last shoot, we made the drive to Red Wing to capture Emma’s favorite Spring HDH pieces against the green and hilly backdrop–a nice little retreat from our industrial St. Paul studio and surrounding area…

Emma’s favorite piece from the collection is the Button-Up Bow Top in Cream. “It’s so dreamy! But then also practical. The sleeves don’t get in the way like other longer sleeved ruffled blouses do. My other favorite is the adjustable strap striped dress. It is a perfect summer sundress and breathes quite well. It was hot that day in Red Wing!”

Meet Colleen! Colleen has worked with us in the past, but it’s rare that you’ll see her face since she’s usually behind the camera! Colleen is the talented photographer behind 2nd Truth Photography. Per our tradition this season of asking women to style pieces from our Spring Collection, Colleen put together several outfits for us, ranging from casual tomboy to chic and sophisticated. We especially love her look with the French Seam Easy Wide-Leg Pant and Lapel Open Jacket Top that can be worn both as a blazer or a blouse when overlapped and tucked in.

This week, our lead seamstress and production design coordinator, Elsie, styled a handful of our new Spring releases! Elsie is an avid thrifter in her free time, so we knew she’d come up with some fun ways to accessorize. We love her thrifted straw hat and button-downs that she amazingly alters to make them fit just the way she wants. I guess you can say we’re lucky to have Elsie on our team?

Elsie’s favorite piece from the Spring Collection is the French Seam Tapered Pant in Tapenade that she styled with thrifted white button down for an easy all-linen outfit. Shop all of Elsie’s favorites from the Spring Collection here.
