Zara continues its “Summer Cities” series with a return to familiar collaborator Tony Özkan, this time shifting the focus to Athens. The edit draws from the city’s distinct mix of antiquity and everyday life, finding inspiration in sun-drenched streets, neighborhood cafés, and the relaxed pace that settles in after the afternoon heat.
Zara in Athens
Zara uses Athens as a living setting where linen shirts, striped knits, lightweight overshirts, and easy tailoring feel like natural companions to long walks through the capital. The collection features breathable fabrics and a Mediterranean palette of cream, sand, pale blue, sea green, terracotta, and faded pink.
Relaxed trousers, tailored shorts, loose denim, polo shirts, checked button-downs, and soft knitwear create a wardrobe that travels between the waterfront, hillside viewpoints, and city cafés with little effort. Views of the Acropolis and the Aegean reinforce the destination, though the emphasis remains on clothing designed for days of leisure shaped by the city.
Zara extends the wardrobe-first approach of its Athens edit into swimwear too, where Aaron Levine turns trunks and layering pieces into basics that work well past the beach.
