The $20 Zara Basic That's Gone Viral—and 3 Ways I'm Wearing It
A few weeks ago, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley posted nine different outfits wearing Zara’s $20 bodysuit, and the basic quickly went viral. I have an affinity for Rosie HW’s sense of style, which is a blend of classic pieces with modern design. As soon as I spotted the Zara outfits on her Instagram, I immediately added three colors of the bodysuit to my shopping cart and placed an order. Soon after, the brand had sold out in every color, but the good news is that the bodysuit has since been restocked if you’re interested in adding it to your closet as well.
After testing them out, I’m happy to report that the Zara bodysuits are worth ordering and have quickly become indispensable building blocks in my wardrobe. Ahead, see three ways I’m wearing the staple and shop each of my looks. Then, see more outfit ideas from fashion insiders and how they’re wearing the Zara bodysuit that has gone viral.
The first outfit I wore with one of the Zara bodysuits was this one at the Who What Wear office. The black version was the perfect base to wear with loose-cut jeans, gold jewelry, and a retro-inspired bag.

I fell in love with this bold orange slip skirt the moment I spotted it but wasn't immediately sure how to style it. As soon as I tried it on with the nude Zara bodysuit, I discovered that it was the perfect color pairing.

Fall has been more and more on my mind, and this outfit is a nod to the warmer layers I'll be wearing in the months ahead. Once the temperatures start to dip, I'll be wearing this with a tailored leather jacket on top to tap into the all-leather look that will be trending.

It went viral on Instagram with these outfits
As I mentioned, the Zara bodysuit went viral on the internet once Rosie Huntington-Whiteley posted photos wearing it. But the model isn't the only fan of the affordable tops. Soon after Rosie HW posted her looks to Instagram, my feed became flooded with more fashion insiders wearing it as well. Here, see more inspiration for how to wear the $20 basic.
