You’re Not Too Old For… Shopping at Zara and H&M

In for spring: flouncy wrap dresses and blouses, bold patterns, polka dots, and stripes. And if you pass over H&M and Zara thinking that you’re too old for these brands that often target young consumers, you’re missing out. They both have looks we love at prices that make sense for trends. Here are a few we’ve got in our cart.         

Get ready for strolls on the beach in a striped tunic with a wide tie at the waist.

Slither through the seasonal transition in a snakeskin-pattern tunic.

Match this crêped dress with simple stilettos to go seamlessly from the office to dinner, or pair with white canvas sneakers for a weekend lunch date.

We love the cool and casual look of a wide-neck blouse with dropped shoulders, elasticized cuffs, and long tie belt.

Go big or stay home.

H&M’s printed Swiss-dot shirtdress is spot on.

Sashay your way through the season in a crinkled maxi with a drawstring neckline and long balloon sleeves.

A fuchsia frock gives your wardrobe a pop.

Giant flowers make this fun wrap dress perfect for wandering through an English garden — or just brunching on a patio.

If the essence of spring could be captured in a top, this would be it.

Black for spring? Yes, please.

Flow and flounce in this sheer blouse.

We’re betting this crisp white embroidered dress has a high chance of becoming a lasting spring staple.
