There's no denying that lace-trim shorts have taken over our screens and closets since growing in popularity over the past year. Naturally, Zara has its hand in the mix with a chic array of lace-trim shorts options in a variety of colors and styles. One such pair caught my attention thanks to the effortless styling that features three key pieces: an oversize white button-down shirt, ivory lace-trim shorts, and metallic gold kitten-heel sandals. The easy yet stylish summer look is a no-brainer for a variety of occasions since it feels elevated and dressed up yet it leans casual enough of for less formal moments.

Below, I shopped out the look and included a solid list of other lace-trim shorts from Zara that deserve your attention.
