If you're anything like me, you've probably been shopping at Zara for a while now. Whereas you once checked the new-arrivals section of the brand's app on a twice-weekly basis, you've now found yourself slowing down, only scanning it once a week and occasionally stopping inside a nearby store on your lunch break. (That's what I call progress.) Though most collections remain chic, not to mention shockingly expensive looking, I've found that some err a bit too far on the youthful side for my taste. Whenever that happens, I turn my attention to Zara's older and wiser big sister: Massimo Dutti.
The brand was founded in 1985 in Barcelona as a menswear label, acquired in 1991 by Zara's parent company Inditex, and introduced to womenswear in 1995. With a focus on uncompromising comfort, exquisite tailoring, and effortless wearability, Massimo Dutti seems to check off every box. (It's no wonder Kate Middleton's a big fan.) So when I found out that Zara would be selling the label's collections straight from its website and my beloved app, I quickly became hooked, and the rest was history.
