I'm a Modest Dresser, Here's Everything I'm Eyeing at Zara Right Now
Shopping for modest clothing has always been a tad difficult, but if there's one store that continues to have my back, it's Zara. I still remember walking through its doors back when I was in high school and felt as if I had hit the jackpot when I found a plethora of key layering essentials that would make getting dressed in the morning much easier. Flash forward to today, the retailer's stock is better than ever—especially with their fall collections rolling into the stores. Think oversized blazers, chunky cardigans, and wide-leg trousers galore. Basically, everything you need for the colder temperatures, but also a modest dresser's gold mine.
Now I do love Zara, but I also know that the site can be a tad overwhelming to navigate, so I've decided to do the job for you and provide an edit of pieces that are not only trend-forward but modest fashion friendly. Even if you don't consider yourself a modest dresser, there will be something in this list you'll consider adding to your cart this fall. Keep scrolling to see the 25 Zara items I have on my wishlist right now.
Shop my picks:
I'm sorry skinny jeans, but I'm favoriting more relaxed pairs right now.
Zara really hit it out of the ballpark with interesting knits this season.
I feel like the second you put this on, you'll immediately feel much more cooler.
I already own this in black, but I may need to get my hands on the pale pink version.
Channeling my inner school-girl with my love of argyle print this season.
I already own so many leather pieces, I might as well add a pair of culottes to that list.
I've been seeing fashion girls sport quilted coats everywhere, and this is an excellent under $150 option.
Release your inner cabincore with this plaid number.
