If there’s one person that loves Zara more than I do it’s my mother. If she’s not excitedly browsing their website, she’s perusing the racks IRL, or texting me photos of items she’s seen on Instagram, proclaiming, “you need to include this in a story!” At 71 she remains an ardent Zara devotee—and the Spanish brand with its grand variety of styles and trends no doubt fuels her love of fashion. And it’s safe to say the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!
While my mum and I have slightly different style aesthetics—I tend to favour neutral, fashion-forward basics and she leans into colours, prints, and embellishments—we do see eye to eye on certain styles (as you’ll see below).
So with a desire to add some new season pieces to both our wardrobes we took a little shopping excursion to Zara and surprisingly both gravitated to a handful of spring/summer trends that we’re excited to wear this season. From satin fabrics to fashion-forward orange hues, keep scrolling to see what trends both my mother and I are buying, wearing, and loving this season.
