42 Zara Finds That Are Timeless, Anti-Trend, and Absolutely Dripping in Wealth
I'm not going to lie to you. Zara is usually the place I beeline to when I'm in the mood to indulge myself with a cheap and trendy buy. As I was idly scrolling through its new arrivals on my last visit, I couldn't help but notice how many chic—and timeless—staples I saw, especially pieces that looked destined for a "forever wardrobe." With a certain anti-trend, quiet-luxury aesthetic on the rise, Zara is clearly taking notes on the growing interest in paring things back and has been acting accordingly.
Once I spotted a few quiet-luxury finds, I searched all up and down the site and found a trove of items that were so chic, so luxurious, and so wealthy looking they shocked me to my very core. From the languid cream-toned trousers you'll want to skip your jeans for to the striped knits that will make you look like you just spent time on a yacht, I'm uncovering the best classic Zara shopping to buy now and wear forever.
Pair this with white trousers or jeans and ballet flats if you know what you're doing.
Skipping your jeans for these trousers is one of the smartest style decisions you can make.
