8 Summer Buys That Zara Is Doing Better Than Anywhere Else
If you've taken a look around the high street summer collections recently, you'll have noticed that a few brands have upped their game considerably. H&M has leaned into a designer appeal for its recent resortwear collection, whilst Nobody's Child shows off its expertise in dresses. But right now, it's Zara that has my full attention, as it's taken the new season as a chance to demonstrate how the brand can create expensive-looking styles to suit every summer aesthetic.
From devoted minimalists to playful print enthusiasts, Zara's summer collection covers all bases. Leaning into both trending styles and timeless classics is something that brings us editors back to the brand, and in my opinion, this season features the most amount of soon-to-be best-sellers yet. For those who seek out understated buys, you'll appreciate the refined approach to a great white skirt and classic blazer, whilst those who are embracing the boho revival will find themselves drawn to the intricate blouses on offer. Polka dots are the print of the season, and after a few sell-out styles already this summer, I predict this brown version will be the next It buy.
Warm-weather updates can be spotted throughout the collection, with linen-infused materials for high-temperature days, and the return of sandals in a variety of elevated forms ready to complete our summer looks. If denim is a key part of your capsule wardrobe, take a moment to explore Zara's contemporary updates on the fabric for the sunnier days.
