I'm a Senior Shopping Editor—If I Could Only Live in Zara for the Month of May This Is What I'd Pick

With Zara's chic, vast offerings, it's not unheard of for a fashion person to subsist solely on pieces from the popular brand. I know I could pull it off easily and without complaint, especially with the stellar collections on the site for May. With spring already underway, I did a deep dive of each department to pick out my favorites that I know I could live in for the month of May (and beyond). I found so many great pieces that narrowing them down was tricky, but I managed in the end.

Below, you can check out my roundup of standout finds, ranging from tops and dresses to jeans, shoes, bags, and more. I made sure to incorporate a healthy mix of timeless basics and trendier picks to keep the outfit rotations feeling of-the-moment when possible. Think everything from tank tops and blazers to more current flip-flop sandals and denim styles. Keep scrolling to shop 31 editor-approved Zara picks worth your attention for spring and summer 2026.
