You’re probably wondering what being a picky Zara shopper even means, so let me tell you. All it means is that while I love Zara as much as the next girl, when I shop there (whether it’s in store or online), I do my best to do so with as discerning of an eye as I would have if everything in the store were super expensive. In other words, not just buying anything I see because it’s cheap or at the very least more affordable than its designer counterparts. Not a bad approach, am I right?
Since we are officially in winter mode, I decided to round up everything I would buy from Zara for the months ahead if I had an unlimited budget (and the closet space to match). Naturally, while I did my best to cut things down, it’s still quite a lot—39 items to be exact—but they range from outerwear to knits to shoes and they’re all just that good. So, without further ado, just keep scrolling to get shopping.
Outerwear
A puffer you'll actually be excited to wear.
It just looks so luxe.
I love this edgy belt.
I'm so into vests right now, I have about 10 on my wish list.
My colleague Lauren has this, and it really adds polish to any outfit.
If you don't own a leather blazer, yet this might just be the one.
Knitwear
Plus, the matching top of course.
More vests in 2020.
When I'm not buying things in black or white, oftentimes it's hunter green—can you blame me?
Confession: I bought this and the matching tank already.
Need this.
The perfect fit.
Tops
I can never say no to an elevated black tee.
Fit for royalty.
An easy outfit upgrade.
An essential.
Can you tell that I love basics?
Dresses
This is so elegant I can't take it.
Just adorable.
There's no end to my leather obsession in sight.
This easy, flowy dress is a no-brainer.
Love a bra-revealing moment.
This I'm saving until spring.
Bottoms
I'll never have enough black jeans.
Who can say no to sculpting?
The first step in re-creating the cool outfit above is buying the skirt.
I'm obsessed with the way these straight-leg leather pants look with strappy sandals.
Had to include both colors.
Bags & Accessories
I just gasped.
I tend to avoid beanies because of hat hair, but when I absolutely must wear one, I prefer them simple and neutral like this.
I've been eyeing this big bag for a while and can't believe it made it to sale.
Grandma vibes.
When your outfit just needs a bit of fun.
Shoes
These are all over my feed, so naturally now I want them.
Loafers will be everywhere this spring, so why not wear them first?
Forward but basic at the same time.
I love a timeless find that's actually affordable.
By now you must have heard that knee boots are back in a big way.
A snow day essential.
