Sometimes I toy with the idea of narrowing down my wardrobe to a capsule collection of sorts from one brand or retailer. In those moments, Zara often comes to mind—The retailer is best known for providing a mix of affordable classic and of-the-moment basics, with a constant rotation of new arrivals. Not to mention each piece can be styled effortlessly.

With that in mind, I set out to create a round up of finds that I would be completely comfortable and happy with wearing if I could only exclusively wear Zara for a month. This ended primarily with chic basics like elevated coats and blazers, classic jeans, and a variety of easy sweaters and tops. There are a few trendier pieces mixed in especially in the shoe department. Keep scrolling to check out 30 editor-approved Zara picks worth shopping this season.
