I'm not going to lie—one of my favorite parts of my job as a senior market editor is scouring Zara's website daily to see what exciting new arrivals have landed. What's even more thrilling is when I find an affordable gem that looks really expensive. This week, a whole host of spring/summer pieces just dropped, and naturally, I ransacked the site in order to find the chicest, most luxe-looking warm-weather pieces that look so classy you'd never know they're under $50! Keep scrolling to see 40 of my favorite under-$50 Zara finds for spring/summer, from pleated linen pants to pretty pointelle tops and metallic shoes. Oh, and of course, pick up plenty of styling inspiration along the way.
