These Were the Most Popular Zara Buys of 2017

It's hard to remember a time when Zara wasn't omnipresent. This year has been no different from the past few—the Spanish superstore has provided many a runaway fashion moment. It's been a particularly strong 12 months for the brand's shoe department, as we've witnessed at least three particular pairs of boots go viral on Instagram. (And that's before we start on the kitten-heel market it's cornered.) Zara's well-loved outerwear section wouldn't have been complete without a host of checked blazers and coats that saw tills ringing. Recently, one of the brand's heritage blazer-dresses has become a real hit amongst style bloggers.

It's likely you've bought into at least one of these Zara trends, if not all 11. Scroll through the gallery below to see the brand's biggest moments of 2017, and then shop new items available now.
