Being an editor, I’m constantly picking up random tips from my colleagues—whether it’s a pair of beloved ballet flats that several of us now swear by (Margaux's Demi Ballet Flat), news of a secret sample sale, or an emerging brand worth knowing. It's definitely a fun perk.
One of these well-known tricks includes the editor-favorite way to shop Zara. If you’re trying to filter for the most expensive-looking items, the ZW Collection is your best bet. I've even heard it's the one way to reliably have a near-zero return rate since it's a higher quality line.
In terms of what you can expect, it focuses on directional, trend-forward designs. It's the type of clothes that elicit surprise when someone asks where something you're wearing is from and you say those three words: "It's from Zara." Right now, standouts include an oversized trench coat, chic dresses, and a range of midi skirts.
Below, shop the best ZW Collection pieces for spring 2026.
