3 Trending Zara Pieces That Are Genuinely Worthy of Cult Status
The word "cult" can be overused in fashion circles, with items declared It items seemingly overnight. One place that knows how to create genuine hype, however, is Zara—the high-street store has the scale to create pieces that are then worn all over the world within a matter of weeks. This year there are three hero products, in particular, that stand out from the spring collections and are deserving of their cult status.
These items are in line with this year's trends but won't quickly date, meaning they are purchases with longevity. There's a pretty little polka-dot crop top, which you can wear to the beach with denim shorts and even to the office with black trousers and loafers. For more of a statement but still throw-on look, you can't go wrong with the feather-trimmed co-ord. This might seem like a flash-in-the-pan buy, but these feathered co-ords have been popular since Alexa Chung wore a Prada set to the Fashion Awards in 2016 and with a vintage-feel aren't a throwaway trend. Then the last trending item is a pair of white strappy sandals, which according to Hannah Almassi are comfier then you'd think, as the strap across the ankle holds them in place. Keep scrolling to shop the three trending Zara items.

3. White Sandals
I feel like I see these sandals everywhere I go this year, partly because my boss has them and they are her favourite work shoes of 2019.
