Elegant-minded shoppers, listen up: You need to check out Massimo Dutti. The label is essentially Zara's older sister (the brands share a parent company), and well-dressed New Yorkers agree: its pieces deserve a spot in your wardrobe. If you're new to the selection, don't worry—I'm here to introduce you to the must-buy finds from its most recent collection.

The "if you know, you know" brand has gradually taken over the street style scene. Its collection of minimal yet elevated pieces—most of which retail for under $20—offers shoppers a subtle luxury vibe that feels neither boring nor contrived. Instead, the brand's latest collection integrates seamlessly into the neutral-toned wardrobes of the chic New Yorkers I pass on the street. Until now, those savvy shoppers may have been doing a little gatekeeping—that is, until now. Their pieces are simply too good for me not to share.

I rounded up 23 must-buy items from the brand's latest drop to prove it. Highlights include a pair of boho-inspired studded ballet flats, sleek strappy sandals, and linen pants that can serve double duty in your summer wardrobe. Plus, there are plenty of breezy dresses and easy-to-style tops that you'll want to wear all the time.
