Neither Zara nor Massimo Dutti: Primark has the cool and elegant outfits to put in your vacation suitcase

Posted on 13 June 2026

Outfits have long since settled into our routine. It is not surprising considering that he dressed us impeccably with no room for error and effortless. Zara is the queen of total looks but there are other brands low cost (it is increasingly difficult for the Inditex giant to be pigeonholed in this category) who have been going strong.

Lefties, Parfois and now also Primark are some examples capable of creating divine on-set outfits at a good price. The latter is precisely the one that has stolen our hearts with its latest collections, among them the one signed by Paula Echevarría who seems quite comfortable in the role of designer. We left five favorites that are very different from each other but with something in common: a Mediterranean aura that we really want this summer 2026 (and all those to come).

This embroidered set with shorts and top is the typical cool outfit that you don't take off on vacation. It fits perfectly with a daytime walk discovering a city that with a look for a date night, the difference will be in changing the accessories and the beauty look.

The total white look never fails, especially if it is loose and cool like this two-piece with straight embroidered pants and a matching wide-armhole top. It is the typical one that we can lift with a carrycot with personality and a scarf tied around the neck (or hair).

One of our favorites is this sailor print set with a midi skirt and puff sleeve blouse. It is so pretty that with some red maxi earrings and metallic sandals it would even fit as a guest look at an afternoon wedding. Of course, with flat sandals it fits us 24/7.

This navy blue set with white sailor embroidery is so adorable and so versatile that it can be worn completely or separately: the top with red linen pants and the skirt with a white cotton t-shirt.

And leaving a bit of blue and white we find this olive green set, a pure trend tone that also perfectly represents Mediterranean culture. We can take it out for a drink at the trendy beach bar or even to an evening wedding with the right accessories: metallic heels, party bag and maxi earrings.

And to take advantage of these total looks from morning to night we need sandals that are just as versatile. These flat gold sandals from Parfois are perfect because they share that 24/7 spirit of the Primark sets: we can wear them from morning to night every day of the week for 25.99 euros.
