No One Will Believe You When You Tell Them These 31 Pieces Are Under $175

Shopping doesn’t have to be complicated when Zara exists. The Spanish brand has a habit of constantly churning out bags, shoes, sweaters, and more, all of which tap into the latest trends. The store is known for not only its range of stylish options but also its affordable prices, with most pieces coming in at under $200 and many under $50. If you’re on a budget, it’s a great place to seek out the latest trend, be it quiet luxury or balletcore. But knowing you don’t have hours upon hours to sift through the thousands of styles available on the brand’s site, I’m here to help narrow things down and find the best of the best.
Here’s the thing: Zara’s website is stocked with plenty of pieces that look so much more expensive than they are—you just have to know where to find them. Whenever I’m looking online, I keep my eye out for details such as the material, structure, and shape of a piece to figure out if it’s what I’m looking for. I’m also careful to avoid styles that are a little too trendy to last long-term. While there are plenty of times when I need something specific like a sparkly going-out top for a party or ballet flats for the office, I do want to make sure I can wear my purchases more than once.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up 31 finds that represent the best of the best currently in stock at Zara. Things move fast, so shop them before they sell out.
