Outfit #1

This first outfit features two of the most popular colors for summer: bright orange and emerald green. When worn together, they really pop. This summer is all about bright colors and fun prints, and Zara definitely has got that covered!

I paired this knit, striped cropped tank with this green lace-up skirt. I added some nude, strappy sandals and this amazing structured, woven bag that features a pop of orange.

Outfit #2

This outfit is just what you need for a day of shopping or brunch with your friends! You can swap out the sneakers to take this look from day to night.

I paired this matching tie-dye set with a white mini skirt. The knit tank is the perfect cropped length and looks great with the matching cardigan left unbuttoned and open. The skirt features some ruching detail on the side and a little slit.

I accessorized with these fun, beaded turquoise earrings and some white platform sneakers. Beaded earrings like these are very on-trend this summer!

Outfit #3

This next outfit showcases longer board shorts. They’ve been very popular lately and I’m all for it!

Pair the pastel yellow shorts with a tie dye tank. These yellow slip-on sandals and mini shoulder bag are so versatile. Zara has been killing the game lately with fun sandals and bags!

Outfit #4

I love rompers for summer because they are so easy to style and throw on in the mornings when you don’t feel like spending time picking out a whole outfit.

This floral one has bright colors, a collar, and a matching belt to cinch your waist. I added some platform nude slides which don’t distract from the romper.

I accessorized with a pastel purple crossbody purse and this fun, knotted headband!

Outfit #5

This next outfit is giving me total picnic vibes! Matching sets are my go-to for summer because I love the way they look. This one is very unique as the two separate pieces aren’t exactly the same.

These pastel yellow shorts have a great high-waisted fit. The matching blouse has wide sleeves, a collar, and is a button-up.

I finished off the look with some nude slip-on braided sandals and this quilted yellow shoulder bag.

Outfit #6

Outfit six brings forth total 70’s vibes, which will be super “in” this summer. I love this bold green dress… which, surprise! It’s actually a romper!

I paired it with some fun, orange circle sunglasses and a woven crossbody bag. For shoes, these trendy white flip flops have a puffy strap and edgy tread.

Outfit #7

This outfit is also very 70’s with these floral print baby blue shorts. Fun, bold patterns like this have been seen all over social media lately.

This baby blue ruched crop top has some fun, puffy sleeves. To make the look a little more cutting-edge, I added some black chunky sandals.

The bag is another variation of the very popular crochet picnic basket purses, but this one is in all black.

Outfit #8

I absolutely love this outfit and want to re-create it for myself!

This orange square-neck knit tank would look stellar some wide-leg, high-waisted green jeans. I love the wide-leg style of these jeans and they’re a showstopper in emerald green.

I accessorized simply with just this floral silk hair scarf and some white kitten slip-on heels.

Outfit #9

This next outfit styles another pair of colored denim. These wide-leg jeans are in an adorable pink shade and have the same high-waisted fit.

This high-neck tank is in a fun blue and green 70’s-inspired pattern. Blue accessories are a must with this outfit, like this woven quilted leather crossbody bag and strappy slip-on sandals.

Outfit #10

Outfit ten is perfect for all you daytime summer adventurers!

These classic high-waisted light wash mom shorts would look great with a floral cropped blouse. The details in this shirt are unmatchable. I love the colors and the style of the top is flattering.

Some nude canvas sneakers and a matching backpack are all you need to polish this look off.

Outfit #11

This dress is by far my favorite piece from Zara’s summer 2021 collection! It is retro and glamorous.

Rock it with some chunky nude wedges, gold earrings, and this bright pink snakeskin print crossbody bag. I love the way the orange and pink look together!

Outfit #12

This next outfit is perfect for summer dinners or nights at the beach.

This printed blue and green blouse with some wide-leg white jeans would be a perfect casual outfit. White denim for summer is always a go-to.

I accessorized with some green kitten heels and a tan shoulder bag with a chunky gold chain.

Outfit #13

Wear this outfit for date nights or a night out on the town. This black patterned tank is adorable and features a fun open back.

Bright orange flare pants with some matching heels would look great with the tank.

Again, beaded jewelry is very trendy this summer, so reach for these rainbow chunky hoops!

Outfit #14

This next outfit is totally my style and I would wear it in a heartbeat.

This matching knit set features a geometric orange and yellow print. The collared top and mini skirt can be paired together or worn separately.

I added some chunky white lace-up sneakers and a navy bag to keep up with the sporty vibe of the look. It can be worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody.

Outfit #15

Outfit fifteen is bringing total 90’s vibes with this pink printed skirt. I paired it with this simple halter tank.

For shoes, these gold wrap sandals go with the skirt perfectly and look very comfortable. Pink chunky hoops and a woven crossbody bag are the simple finishing touches you need.

Outfit #16

For this last look, I styled this gorgeous green mini skirt. I love the bright colors and this print is undeniably adorable.

I opted for a white cutout tank and a cropped denim jacket for an additional layer if it gets chilly.

I accessorized with this yellow tote bag, some oversized orange sunnies, and these Teva-inspired chunky sandals with rainbow straps.
