It might be bitterly cold here in New York, but my mind is somewhere much warmer. Namely, it’s on a beach in Miami, where I’ll be headed for a bachelorette trip. But, with all of my summer clothes neatly packed in storage, I need to refresh my wardrobe with some new warm-weather-ready outfits. So, I’m shopping Zara’s latest collection for all my vacation must-haves.
The new drop is full of breezy separates, like oversized button-down shirts and linen trousers, perfect for lounging around. I intend to spend several dozen hours at the beach, so I found cover-ups I can just as easily wear to the bar for a happy hour afterward. Because I have a personal aversion to sandals, I found two pairs of summer ballet flats and one pair of warm-weather loafers (yes, they exist!).
Keep scrolling to shop all of the editor-approved finds on this list. If you, too, are planning a mid-winter vacation, here's your chance to grab a few pieces that clock in for less than $100 each.
