When it comes to summer dressing, chic tops are the backbone of most of my outfits—easy and effortless pieces I can style with my shorts, jeans, linen pants, skirts, and more. On a quest to add some fresh new styles to my summer wardrobe rotation, I found some of my absolute favorites hiding at Zara. No surprise there! From trend-forward halter tops to Chloé-inspired boho silhouettes, Zara's selection is top-notch, and I'm highlighting some specific styles below that I'm already building all my outfits around. The best part? Most of these pieces clock in under $100.
Whether you're looking for a top to pair with your low-rise jeans for alfresco cocktails, a polished vest to wear with your linen trousers to work, or perhaps a floaty embroidered blouse to style with your denim shorts on vacation, I guarantee you'll find something chic—no matter your summer vibe.
