My sister does not work in fashion but always wants to stay ahead of the latest trends, styles, and It items to invest in from season to season. It's not surprising she often asks for advice from her fashion-editor sister about the coolest pieces worth buying at any given moment. Of course, I happily oblige! What are sisters for, after all?
This month, she asked for my shopping recommendations on what to buy from Zara that will make her wardrobe feel fresh and of-the-moment this summer—nothing too pricey. One hour later, and I had an impeccable list of versatile, chic, and fashion-forward Zara finds that I know will see her through many occasions this summer in utmost style. She seems pretty excited about the pieces—especially since most items clock in at under $100. If you're curious to see what I sent her then keep scrolling below—perhaps something will tickle your fancy too.
