I Went to Zara On My Lunch Break—These 5 Pieces Will Define My Summer Wardrobe

In the blink of an eye, May has arrived, and whilst it’s been a rocky start between blazing hot days and sudden rain, looking forward to next week shows that the high temperatures are en route. Clearly, Zara got the memo. After walking past the newly updated windows, I decided to drop in during my lunch break and see what the high street brand had in store for us as summer approaches. And trust me when I say, they’ve got it oh-so-right.

Right now, Zara is fully in summer mode, and who could blame them? After months of grey skies, we’re coaxing in the brighter, warmer days one outfit at a time, and with some 20-degree days just a week away, it looks like now is the perfect time to start prepping. As a long-standing icon of the high street, Zara knows that linen is a key part of any summer wardrobe build, and has flexed its fashion muscles to bring plenty of versatile options. Whether heading out on a shopping trip, coffee date or far-flung island adventure, dresses are back as a main feature in our wardrobes and there’s an array of prints, bold shades and understated styles to suit all tastes.
