With just one scroll of my Instagram feed, you'll see I buy Zara a lot. In fact, every couple of months, I like to scoop up a few key items that quench my fashion thirst for the latest trends and update my staple pieces. I usually shop online, but this week, I popped into the store IRL after work one evening. After scouring the racks, I found a handful of items that caught my immediate attention and were just too chic not to come home with!
Below, I'm sharing seven warm-weather items that now have a place in my wardrobe, from statement skirts to designer-looking sandals. Take a look to see how I've been styling a few of the pieces, then keep scrolling to see the other summer items I'm currently obsessing over.
1. Floral-Print Skirt
I love injecting a fun print and pop of color into my outfits at this time of year, and this stunning floral skirt immediately caught my eye. Lately, I've been styling it with a white tee or tank top and minimalistic sandals and ballet flats. I really can't complain about the number of compliments I get every time I wear it!
2. Heavyweight Satin Jacket
From shoes to outerwear, satin is shaping up to be a huge trend this year, which I guarantee we'll see continue into fall. When I saw this satin jacket, it felt like the perfect of-the-moment piece that would elevate my entire look. I've been pairing it with '90s jeans and kitten heels for dinner and drinks this warm-weather season.
3. Sleeveless Minidress
Ever since I saw this simple little shift dress online, I have not been able to stop thinking about it. When I popped into the store IRL, I knew I had to have it. Sixities-style shift minidresses are trending this season, and this one is so easy to wear from day to night. It also leans into the tenniscore trend perfectly. All of this is to say I highly recommend it for the summer season.
4. Minimalist Sandals
I am absolutely obsessed with these sandals. Not only do they look designer (they're giving Toteme), but they are also incredibly chic, comfortable, and versatile. They look seamless with pants and skirts alike, and they're the perfect kitten-heel height. If you want some minimalistic sandals that look sophisticated and elegant, these are a must-buy.
5. Ribbed Polo Shirt
Thanks to Miu Miu, preppy polo shirts are having a major moment this season, and there were plenty of sporty-chic navy ones on the runway. This particular Zara find is comfortable, lightweight, and chic, and honestly, it's one of the tops I reach for on repeat right now. I've been styling it with anything from full skirts to stripe button-downs and boat shoes to lean into that country-club look. You won't regret this staple.
6. Sequin Organza Skirt
It's all about sheer skirts right now, and this one couldn't get any cooler. The sequin contrast adds such a fun touch, and I could see myself wearing this over a swimsuit at a resort or with a white tank top and kitten heels for an evening out. If you're looking for a trendy addition to your summer wardrobe, you can't go wrong with this.
7. Peplum Knit Blazer
I've been looking for an effortlessly elegant blazer to wear for work and events this season, and this one looks so luxe. The silhouette is incredibly flattering. It softly pinches in at the waist with a subtle peplum hem. If you want to look casual yet polished, this is the topper to buy.
