Finding Expensive-Looking Zara Items Is My Forte—Here's What I'm Buying Now

We all have our special skills. Aside from being an expert at finding unique gifts and making the most delicious scrambled eggs you'll ever taste, I'm really good at finding expensive-looking Zara pieces. This can prove pretty useful when I want to put together a luxe outfit but don't want to spend my entire paycheck on pricey designer goods.
I love shopping at Zara year-round, but honestly, fall is where the Spanish brand really thrives. The brand's sumptuous knits, fashion-forward silhouettes, and creative styling ideas make it one of the best places to shop and update your cold-weather wardrobe. I scoured the site from top to bottom to find plenty of posh-looking pieces that will elevate your outfit in an instant. Keep scrolling for the most expensive-looking Zara finds that will make you look like you just spent a lot on your outfit, from sleek scarf-coats to stylish sweaters.
Navy is the unexpected fall color trend that will make your outfit look luxe.
