As a shopping editor here at Who What Wear, I have to admit there's nothing I love more than hitting the "price: low to high" filter while scrolling on my favorite retailers. As a post-grad city dweller, the pressure to find low-cost, high-joy outfits has never felt more intense, especially heading into the summer. Thankfully, Zara always has me covered. Over the last few days, I've done some digging for the best inexpensive pieces the retailer has to offer—from anti-trend tops to breezy French-inspired dresses—to deliver all of the must-have buys ahead of warm, sunny days.

Below, browse all of the wallet-friendly Zara finds already sitting pretty in my online cart along with some incredible styling inspiration to help get your summer 'fits into the impeccable category.
