It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Zara’s best pieces rarely stay in stock for long. Every season, one or two styles emerge from the new-in section, quickly becoming the items fashion people can’t stop talking about before disappearing almost as quickly as they arrived. This summer, that honour belongs to the Linen-Blend Frog-Fastening Shirt (£30).

It’s easy to see why. Tapping into the growing appetite for elevated basics, the blouse feels distinctly more premium than its high-street price tag suggests. The delicate frog fastenings instantly set it apart from every other linen shirt on the high street, lending it a refined, designer-inspired feel, whilst the breathable linen blend and softly relaxed silhouette make it the kind of staple you’ll reach for on repeat throughout the season.

I’ve already spotted it styled with everything from denim shorts and tailored Bermuda shorts to flowing linen trousers and silky slip skirts. Still, I’d argue its biggest strength is its versatility. It has that rare ability to make even the simplest outfit feel considered; a quality that Zara’s cult pieces almost always share.
