As I slowly start adjusting to the start of the New Year, whether that be the ongoing saga of mistyping 2020 for about a month or diligently trying to stick to my lofty resolutions, I can't help but think back on how quickly last year went by. Will 2020 fly by as fast? And if so, will all of my 2020 shopping even be worth it come 2021? Yeah, yeah, yeah, next year is far away, but there's no harm in a little planning, and if there's anything I learned last year, it's that my procrastination habits are not getting any better.
Since it's a little-known fact that I have a major crush on all things Zara, I decided to go through the new arrivals on the site and picked out the pieces that I know will still be cool throughout 2020. Naturally, most of the items I chose are ones that have a reputation for being "timeless" rather than "trendy," but it's those pieces that you'll end up wearing on the daily from now all the way through to next year. You'll see.
Leather jackets will never go out of style.
And neither will leopard print.
The resurgence of '90s-inspired strappy sandals was so strong that we know it's here for the long- haul.
Because a puffer is always necessary in cold weather—especially one that's made from recycled materials.

Look like trousers, but they're leggings. You're welcome.
This is the beaded bag of the future (aka 2020).

Nothing to see here—just the perfect midi-dress outfit.
By next year, your black ankle boots will need replacing (wear and tear!), so there's no shame in stocking up on these.
Shearling—another one of those timeless wardrobe essentials.
Who doesn't love a funky crop top to throw on in a pinch?
Elegant, timeless, and surprisingly affordable.
While we can't truly predict the longevity of the cowboy boot trend, this is the perfect pair to ease both in and out of the phenomenon.
A contrasting stitch is the easiest way to add some pizzazz to an otherwise basic shirt.
