4 Outfits That Make Zara Look Expensive

One thing we know about Who What Wear UK readers is that you are Zara obsessives, so we are always looking for fresh Zara-themed styling ideas to make your morning routines that bit easier. When it comes to cult Zara buys this season, it's all about the polka-dot slingback shoes that we have spotted all over our Instagram feeds. While kimono jackets, velvet earrings and the knitwear are also some of the most tagged items. For some ideas of how to wear these pieces, keep scrolling to see some of our favourite outfit ideas that make Zara look expensive.
Style Notes: If you've been in Zara recently, you know that it's all about the kimono this year, and Soraya Bakhtiar shows they look super luxe when paired with denim, loafers and a Gucci belt bag.
Style Notes: You might think Freddie Harrel's earrings are a designer find, but these velvet beauties are actually only £10 from Zara.
Style Notes: Many of our favourite fashion influencers, such as Camille Charrière, have been wearing these polka-dot slingbacks—they look so much more expensive than £50.
Style Notes: Emma of A Style Album's crochet jumper might look like a vintage find or one of J.W.Anderson's beauties, but it's actually £40 from Zara.
Next up, we bet this will be the number one Christmas party dress trend this year.
