The Model and Me: Zarc spring-summer 2019

The Zarc label is a little over 12 months old and it’s now solely run by Vanessa Zacharia. You might remember my love of this dress? 

Zarc offers garments from size XXS to 4XL in fabrics made for summer. I’m loving this shorts and top outfit from the Zarc spring-summer 2019 collection. You get the look of a playsuit but with the convenience of separates.

The model

Zarc black eyelet top | black eyelet shorts

and me

Zarc top and shorts (I’m in M in both – and am usually a 14-16) | FRANKiE4 Footwear LiLLi slides in black spot

I photographed these pieces together last Friday afternoon just before friends were coming over for an end-of-school gathering. It felt like such a great outfit on, that I didn’t change!

I’ve tucked in the top, the effect being that the overlay almost meets the top of the shorts but this works equally well if not tucking. 

The garments are 100% cotton, so cool and comfortable, but it’s the eyelet detailing that sets this pair apart. 

Yes, I’ve worn these pieces casually with a statement slide but they can also be dressed up with heels or wedges. If it were cooler, I’d add a blazer.

As for wearing black in summer (or at any time of the year), I’m SO here for that.

This garment was gifted to me for editorial consideration.
