I'm essentially my sister's personal stylist—here are 36 stylish Zara items perfect for summer that I'm sending her.

      I'm part of Generation Z, and my sister is a millennial. It's my responsibility to keep her informed about fashion trends, while she educates me about iconic pop culture moments, such as Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s double-denim look. I'd say that's a fair exchange, don’t you think? Since her sweet 16, I’ve been her trusted fitting-room companion, her cheerleader, and now I’m also her fashion-week analyst and stylist. It was a proud moment when she called recently to highlight Jonathan Anderson's reference to Christian Dior's New Look with his debut Dior S/S 26 men's opening look. However, like most siblings, she didn’t call just to discuss niche design references; she had a hidden agenda—a new summer wardrobe.

      Just as I was her initial style advisor, Zara was mine. With the summer heat rising, Zara is the perfect destination for stylish, trend-focused pieces that are both chic and comfortable. Their new arrivals are looking fantastic, featuring many essential summer basics that I suspect will be popular and sell out quickly this season.

      This sister-approved Zara selection includes everything from the little black dress and a classic poplin button-down to '90s-inspired strappy sandals and low-rise jeans—a trend my sister might need some persuading on (she has memories of Christina Aguilera on the red carpet around 2002)—and, of course, a contemporary take on the classic 2000s Canadian tuxedo.

      I’ve come to terms with the fact that being a fashion editor means also being my sister's personal stylist. Below, you'll find the 36 stylish Zara summer pieces I shared with my sister. Spoiler: She loved each one.
