Zara April Lookbook 2012

This is what a great wardrobe is made of: Zara's April collection is steeped in chic Spring whites, tweedy jackets, crisp denim, and breezy sundresses, striking the perfect balance between seasonal must haves and closet staples. Again, the brand zeroes in on this season's key trends; we get a dose of peplum, a shot of lace, '70s flares, and printed blouses and pants all in truly wearable iterations. It's hard not to want nearly all of Zara's new goodies, especially when they look even better mixed and matched — it's really not just about the pieces, but how easily they wear together. Read on for our key takeaways, then click through for Zara's latest looks.

• We've already snapped up our printed pants, but these silky printed shorts are just the right version for Summer's hotter days.
• We can never have too many LWDs for our Spring/Summer wardrobe — this one would be easy to dress up day to night — but we think it would make the best little dress for Coachella.
• Give your Spring office attire a makeover — and keep this look in mind. We love the mix of street-chic and femme.
