Summer has arrived in a flurry of hot days, al fresco dinners and endless plans to get outside. In the midst of it, we’ve been trying to pull together our warm-weather wardrobes and bring a chic edge to this busy season. With an early start to the hot weather, I’ve already found that my summer looks are working overtime, and so I set about to find a few classic additions that will instantly join my summer wardrobe rotation and hold their place for years to come. Luckily, I didn’t have to look far, as Zara just dropped a refined edit of minimalist pieces that look exceedingly expensive and have timelessness ingrained in every stitch.

Zara’s new collection perfectly encapsulates my minimalist aesthetic. Whilst the summer days draw me towards bolder accessories and jewellery updates, my foundations remain the same year-round. Tonal shades always look sophisticated, with updated silhouettes for the new season. Textures are also amping up my looks right now whilst still holding their timeless appeal, and the most simple designs have become standouts with fresh hem lengths and fabric updates.
