Look, I don't know what to tell you other than this: Sometimes Zara is just *really* good. Over here in New York, my fashion-industry friends have been highly active on the group thread of late, buzzing about some of the designer-vibe Zara pieces we're spotting on-site. I'm personally of the belief that Zara thrives during these cooler months when the retailer drops some pricier pieces—particularly the expensive-looking leather items (both genuine and vegan) that typically ring in under $400 and always sell out. But there are also plenty more affordable fashion finds, including chic knits and cool footwear around the $50 mark that are perfect for this not-quite-spring time of year.
Obviously, since it's Zara, the product runs deep and it can be a serious undertaking to find some of the best pieces (hiding far away from the homepage). You're welcome to consider it a personal favor that I've compiled some of our most talked-about Zara items for you to peruse, many of which we've already purchased and are possibly wearing at the exact moment you're scrolling this story. I apologize in advance if anything's already sold out—but that's just how it goes with the hottest Zara items, and we got there first.
Not the last leather jacket we'll be looking at today.
I had a lengthier-than-you'd-expect conversation about how these creamy jeans feel extra polished thanks to the hidden hook fastening above the zipper (instead of your usual button).
It's about that time in the season when we've all lost our gloves.
This very on-trend giant suede bag needs a banana for scale.
Punchy blues just might be this season's red.
A knit polo option for those who require a more subdued palette.
As if I need convincing that an espresso brown trench is a good idea.
You'll be so happy you have this come summer.
Highly recommend getting ahead of spring's pastel pink trend (and pairing it with brown, like so).
In case you're in need of some chic brown trousers to wear with your new pink top.
I'm sorry, did you say leather cape?
The weight and texture of this mini is *so good*.
A little preppy gray moment to pair with your burgundy things.
That's quite a lot of drama for under $350.
A softer take on a loafer for the new season.
Pastel socks feel important right now.
So does this bomber.
But even more so in red?
The dress really gives the energy of someone who "gets it."
Your spring blazer has arrived.
Chic.
For all of us who scour vintage stores and markets for cool leather bomber jackets but never find a good one.
A little something to remind me on a 35-degree day that, eventually, it will be summer.
Tidier than your average tee.
Brown suede-look sneakers are becoming a staple.
If you never got around to buying a barn jacket, this might be your sign.
These truly look so luxe.
Zara really knows how to do a good blazer.
A little rain jacket for everyone who doesn't want to buy an ugly rain jacket.
Such a chic silhouette.
One day, in the midst of a "what do I wear to this thing" crisis, this is the dress that's going to get you out the door.
Worth it even before it went on sale.
Same vibe, but make it an oversize tote.
We really love a slipper.
I own this cozy (but light!) jacket and have zero regrets.
Never met a pair of soft pants I wouldn't impulse buy.
These also come in blue, but it's really about the red.
Pre-belted, so you don't have to figure it out.
This vest is speaking to me, and no, I'm not taking questions at this time.
