What to Buy at Zara If Your Vibe Is "Chicest Summer Ever" But Your Budget Is $100
The headline pretty much says it all, right? If you're looking to put your best foot forward this summer and the vibe you're going for is chic, polished, and put together (yet cool), then, boy, are you in for a real treat today. I recently spent more time than I'd like to admit scanning every page of Zara's women's offerings to bring you the most important pieces on the site for reaching the aforementioned goal, all of which are under $100.
Bags, shoes, dresses, tops, sets—you name it, I've got it and then some. After all, as I've said before, looking expensive is never actually about how much you spend, and it's always possible to achieve a luxurious look on any budget. Ready to see the proof? Simply keep scrolling to shop all my under-$100 Zara summer picks for your chicest season yet.
Even if you style it with a T-shirt and sandals, you'll always look put together in this.
Swap your basic tee or tank in for this and instantly upgrade any outfit.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
