I Love Zara's Spring Line, But These 29 Cheap Items Are Just as Good
Zara’s new collection is on point, and honestly, I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been consistently shopping it already. In fact, our team recently covered a few of the fresh buys we’re loving that will probably sell out fast. But given that I do like to mix it up by filling my wardrobe with a variety of brands, I also have been on the hunt for similar items that are trendy (but not crazy pricey) for myself and my friends. Because I love you so much, dear readers, I’m sharing some of my favorite buys with you RN.
Ahead, I rounded up the $100-and-under spring fashion pieces—separated by category from tops to dresses—that I'm recommending to my inner circle. The best part? Everything coming your way is incredibly chic and expensive-looking (just like those new Zara finds).
So with that, keep scrolling to build your dream spring wardrobe. Don’t come for me if you end up adding a few extra goodies to your cart. Wink.
Tops
There are so many things right about this top: the smocking, the pretty hue, and the puff sleeves, to name a few.
Team this floral number with everything from jeans to a neutral midi skirt.
The pleats, sheer detail, and gorgeous print? Yes, yes, and yes.
Dresses and Skirts
This floral dress is so versatile and ideal for spring weddings or other various soirées.
If you haven't heard, the long denim skirt is where it's at.
Jackets
Jeans and Pants
Because you can never have too many A-plus straight-leg jeans.
Flares are definitely not a bad idea this spring.
Maybe it's time to dive into the wide-leg jean trend.
Next, check out the Zara items that will earn you instant compliments.
