Zara Just Dropped a Ton of Elevated Basics—31 I'm Seconds Away From Buying
It's true—I check Zara on a daily basis. But usually, when I click on the brand's app or type Zara.com into my web browser, it's to see what new trends it's decided to back since I last looked. My latest checkup, though, resulted in a very different discovery. Instead of buzzy, of-the-moment pieces taking over Zara's new-in section, that space was solely dedicated to hyper-chic and expensive-looking basics this week, a majority of which I'm dangerously close to buying.
With fall on the horizon, Zara is getting us ready to refresh and upgrade our basics, from bodysuits, long-sleeve tees, and sweaters to leather pants, jeans, and easy dresses. Even better, none of the above cost more than $150, even with plenty of cashmere, faux-leather, and wool pieces included in the mix. Clearly, I'm already convinced that a basics haul is in my future. Scroll down to see if one is in yours too.
If I didn't know better, I'd assume this cashmere-blend tank top was at least $100.
This dress went viral on TikTok in baby pink, but I'm biased toward the classic black version.
I love how the color of this tank takes it from a low-key basic to a high-key one.
How does something so simple look so chic and luxurious? Asking for a friend.
Kendall Jenner just wore trousers just like these.
Every French girl's go-to pumps are only $70 at Zara RN.
Take your trench-coat collection up a notch with this faux-leather version.
Adding a chic belt to a skirt or pair of trousers can be a game changer.
I have at least four miniskirts already, yet I'm already planning outfits to wear with this one.
