How 11 Under-$50 Zara Picks Look in Real Life
You know we like Zara—a lot. And because you’re reading this article, we assume you do too. Most of the time, we use the brand’s model images in our stories, but today we’re bringing you a deeper look at some of Zara’s best under $50 items by showing how the product looks on customers too. Of course, Instagram photos are easily filtered and photoshopped, so it’s not quite real life but, hopefully, will provide a peek at what the product looks like on more than one person. Scroll down to see and shop the picks that made the cut, and you’ll be delighted to find two extra bonus picks at the end. Full disclosure: The finale picks are over $50 (why does Zara insist on charging so much for ruched brown fabric?) but were too good not to include. Enjoy!
