Out of the 376 Shorts Available at Zara, These Are the Very Best

If you’re starting to prep that summer wardrobe and looking for a fresh selection of shorts, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yep, I’m dedicating this entire piece to shorts—but not just any shorts. I’m talking about Zara shorts. I have a few pairs in my rotation, and they’re great. They’re on the affordable side, but they still look elevated.
When I went to Zara's site, there were 376 results in the "shorts and skorts" section. I scrolled through and picked 29 that I think are the very best because they’re chic, extremely wearable, and all ring in at $50 or less.
Keep scrolling for a range of Zara shorts to suit a variety of styles.
