I Just Tried On Zara's Most Stylish Collection Yet—9 Items That Will Be Gone by Next Week.
As we approach the end of summer, I'm beginning to consider the small yet strategic changes that will seamlessly transition my wardrobe from high summer to early autumn. While I'm not quite ready to part with my linen dresses and sandals, I'm eager for items that offer more durability—and Zara was my first stop.
A quick scroll through the new arrivals section revealed that the retailer shares the same mindset. There is an abundance of lovely blouses that can be paired with shorts now and later with jeans or tailored trousers as the temperatures cool. I also tried on the much-discussed frog-fastening blouse, which I intend to style with satin shorts while on holiday and later with denim back in London. Speaking of denim, Zara has truly excelled this season, offering jeans that fit exceptionally well across a range of classic blue washes, summery ecru, and styles that are polished enough for autumn wear. Additionally, jackets are making a quiet comeback in the new arrivals, with funnel-neck designs and heritage checks providing the first hint of the season ahead.
Of course, with another heatwave approaching, I’m not completely moving on from summer attire. My linen dresses, lightweight pieces, and easy warm-weather essentials still belong in my wardrobe, which makes this latest Zara drop feel perfectly timed. These items can be worn right now but won’t feel out of place as September rolls in.
Keep scrolling to discover the Zara items I tried on and the ones I would genuinely recommend adding to your collection.
