When it comes to affordable but on-trend clothing, Zara and H&M are fan favorites for a reason. Some Zara and H&M picks are so good they have gone viral on TikTok for how chic they are for their price tag. As a shopping editor, it's my job (literally) to get you guys the best of the best on the market, and with so many holiday events, parties, office days, and nights out on the horizon, there's no better time to add a few new stylish pieces to your wardrobe. I rolled up my sleeves and got to digging on H&M's and Zara's sites and was seriously impressed by their new arrivals for winter. I found the chicest strapless tops from Zara that I plan to style with skirts and trousers and the coziest knits from H&M that you can think of. Twenty-nine of the picks stood out to me as viral-worthy, and if I'm honest, I have a hunch they'll be sold out by the end of December.
