If there’s one thing I’m hoping to achieve on my summer holiday this year, it’s looking expensive. From the walk to breakfast and lazy afternoons by the pool to sunset dinners and evening drinks, I want every outfit to strike that elusive balance between effortless and polished, the kind that suggests you’ve simply thrown something on, yet somehow look impeccably put together. Fortunately, Zara’s new-in section is making that task remarkably easy.

Think linen dresses finished with elegant halternecks and delicate embroidery, breezy skirts and blouses that look lifted from a Mediterranean wardrobe, and rich-looking accessories that wouldn’t look out of place on the Amalfi Coast or the French Riviera. The best part? They work just as well whether you’re jetting off to Italy or spending the weekend in Cornwall.
