Few sartorial wins feel as satisfying as spotting a designer-looking staple on the high street. From M&S’s scarf coat (a dead-ringer for Toteme’s sell-out style) to Anthropologie’s Melie Bianco bag featuring the same woven detailing as the coveted Bottega design, the high street continues to deliver affordable gems that punch well above their price tag. This month, fashion set favourite Zara has taken the spotlight with a chic new shirt that channels Loewe.
The shirt in question? Zara’s Embroidered Pocket Shirt, featuring detailing that looks strikingly similar to Loewe’s cult-favourite Cotton Embroidered Logo Shirt. Crafted from a soft fabric, it combines the sophisticated fit of a shirt with the relaxed fabric of Lyocell - making it a go-to for smart balmy weather dressing, especially now that temperatures are on the rise. Naturally, the most stylish dressers have already taken notice of Zara's shirt, and one quick scroll through Instagram will reveal a laundry list of fashion insiders already wearing the designer-style number.

This cool shirt is a versatile addition to your summer wardrobe, taking you from work to dinner plans in an instant - just switch up your shoes.
Of course, this isn’t the first time a high street brand has looked to the Spanish label for inspiration. Last year, the coveted Loewe Squeeze bag - a chain embellished leather staple loved by everyone from Emily Ratajowski to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - was reimagined by H&M for a fraction of the price. Shortly after, the viral Anagram tank top (worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner) triggered a flurry of affordable lookalikes across the high street, from River Island to 4th And Reckless.
When it comes to styling, consider pairing the shirt with the matching Cotton Asymmetric Linen Skirt. Swishy and sculptural in equal measure, it adds movement to the look while keeping things polished - perfect for everything from al fresco dinners to summer office days. Alternatively, if you want to wear the shirt separately, look to the fashion pack for style inspiration - a classic pair of straight leg jeans or wide-leg trousers are all you need.
