31 Gorgeous Zara Items That Look Expensive But Are Actually Wildly Affordable

There's something particularly pleasing about stumbling upon an expensive-looking item that's very affordable. I'm always combing through top retailers' websites, hunting for those standout pieces with a luxe feel. Zara seems to always have pieces that fit the bill, and my latest deep dive proved this notion to be correct. If you've been wanting to refresh your closet with styles that have a rich vibe, then you've come to the right place.
I've handpicked styles from Zara's newest arrivals that embody all things elevated and sophisticated. Ahead, you can expect a mix of on-trend styles and stunning finds with a classic feel. I'm highlighting many beautiful items, from the most beautiful trousers to chic accessories, with most of them sitting at a under-$150 price point. Keep scrolling to uncover my finds. There's more than one reason to hit "add to cart."
