''Take a jacket in case it gets cold'' is perhaps the phrase most repeated by our mothers. And now that I'm in my forties, I have it burned into my head, I don't need to be reminded. In fact, here I am taking a look at Zara's new arrivals looking for the perfect light cardigan for the end of summer and for autumn.
Zara
It is the classic thread cardigan but with nuances to adapt it to the trends of 2026. The key is in the peplum that highlights the waist and the beautiful navy blue color that is nominated for color of the year along with red. It is thick enough to protect us when the evening falls and it gets cold, but also comfortable to wear on our shoulders and give a chic touch to our look during the day.
A capsule wardrobe piece – although it points to this season's fashions – that goes perfectly with dresses, skirts and pants of all kinds (including wide leg jeans or baggy linen ones), which we find in the new collection section for 29.99 euros.

Simorra
To take advantage of this classic jacket, a classic and very elegant pair of pants: the baggy denim Bermuda shorts from Simorra. Combined with crab-style leather sandals and a striped t-shirt (with our sweater over the shoulders), we have the ideal look for sightseeing in a European city or for going to the office in style. They are on sale at El Corte Inglés for 98 78 euros.
