I Spend Every Summer Month in Greece—31 Stylish Zara Vacation Must-Haves I'm Considering for My Upcoming Trip.

      Traveling from JFK to ATH is something I do each summer. The primary goal is to see family and friends, but if we're being honest, it's also a great reason to shop for beautiful vacation attire. Even so, packing for Greece (or really any trip) continues to be a challenge. I tend to overthink it every year. This time, though, I'm opting for simplicity and focusing on the essentials. Fortunately, Zara has come through for me.

      I'm referring to stunning golden-hour dresses perfect for vacation photos, stylish yet practical outfits, and bikinis that are both comfortable and flattering. (To be truthful, I always find myself in a bikini at the beach with a frappé in hand.) Of course, I can't overlook the summer essential that everyone in fashion is wearing this season: classic white linen pants. I definitely recommend anything linen. I'm eyeing a few fabulous pieces that will keep me looking stylish and, most importantly, feeling cool in the sweltering Mediterranean heat.
