I'm Searching for Chic, Expensive-Looking Autumn Buys—These Zara Finds Are It


When it comes to affordable brands that consistently offer expensive-looking styles, Zara is seriously up there. An icon of the high street, the brand is always up to date with fresh trends whilst also satiating our appetite for timeless style. With autumn's arrival (and because I can't help myself), I headed to Zara to see if I could find any pieces to bolster my new-season looks with an elevated edge. Luckily for me (and you) I found both, and plenty of them.
Be it elegant outerwear, premium-looking knitwear or some of the best boots around, Zara has autumn dressing covered. Autumn is all about layering, not just in items of clothing, but also in playful elements of texture and shade. Colour trends are swirling around fashion circles, and Zara brings deep burgundies, rich browns and soft tans into the mix after the vivid hues of summer.
Whilst our cotton staples will ease over into the new season, now is a chance to add richness through texture, with Zara providing the goods through cosy knits, smooth suede and leather and elevated denim. There's also a selection of designer-passing accessories that are worth seeing, and dresses that will go from day to night with the simple swap of a shoe.
Keep scrolling to explore the expensive-looking autumn buys I found at Zara.
