The Chicest Tops of Summer Are Hiding at Zara, and I'm Already Planning All My Outfits Around Them


When it comes to summer dressing, chic tops are the backbone of most of my outfits—easy and effortless pieces I can style with my shorts, jeans, linen pants, skirts, and more. On a quest to add some fresh new styles to my summer wardrobe rotation, I found some of my absolute favorites hiding at Zara. No surprise there! From trend-forward halter tops to Chloé-inspired boho silhouettes, Zara's selection is top-notch, and I'm highlighting some specific styles below that I'm already building all my outfits around. The best part? Most of these pieces clock in under $100.
Whether you're looking for a top to pair with your low-rise jeans for alfresco cocktails, a polished vest to wear with your linen trousers to work, or perhaps a floaty embroidered blouse to style with your denim shorts on vacation, I guarantee you'll find something chic—no matter your summer vibe.
I recently tried this, and it's even prettier in person. Size down.
