Zara Reissued Its Most Iconic Pieces From the '90s and '00s—I'm Freaking Out
If you’re obsessed with fashion from the ‘90s and ‘00s like I am, you’ll want to head over to Zara right now because they just brought back some of their most iconic pieces that were first released decades ago. Yep, the Zara archive collection is stocked with items that were originally shot on models including Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, and Carolyn Murphy and the pieces are just as stunning today as when they first dropped.
Now, instead of just trying to replicate some of the coolest trends from decades ago, you can actually throw on the exact items fashion insiders were wearing back then. In the collection, you’ll find everything from the perfect knee-high leather boots to a sharply tailored winter coat to the timeless wardrobe basics you’ll wear again and again.
I didn’t have a local Zara when these first dropped so never had a chance to wear them for myself, so I’m definitely not passing up a second chance to order them now. These limited edition pieces are guaranteed to sell out fast, so I would recommend adding them to your cart before they’re gone.
Tailored Suiting
While the vest top might be one of the most popular suiting trends in 2020, it was also big in the '90s and now you can snap up this one up from Zara, along with the trousers and tailored wool coat.
Shop the pieces:
A Timeless Camel Coat
One timeless basic that belongs in a winter capsule wardrobe? A great camel coat. This long belted version is simply perfection and I can imagine it in the wardrobe of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
Shop the coat:
The LBD
If you still haven't found the perfect LBD, this is one to add to your closet. Paired with knee-high boots and a long coat, you have the perfect winter look, but I would also style it with sandals in the summer. Plus, how chic is that side slit?

The LBD (2.0)
Shop the pieces:
While the above LBD is an amazing basic, this one is another great style to add to your closet for something a bit dressier. Finished with a sweetheart neckline, it instantly reads as sophisticated and polished. The only thing you need to add is a pair of pumps and some statement earrings.
The Button-Down Top to Live In
I've personally been living in button-down tops this year, which means they're in need of a replacement. At $50, this is the one I'll be adding to my cart immediately.
Shop the top:
Your Go-To Slip Dress
If there's one defining piece from the '90s, it's the slip dress. Why not get the real thing?
Shop the dress:
A Day-to-Night Jumpsuit
Even though they intimidated me for years, jumpsuits have recently become one of my favorite fashion staples. Wear them with ankle boots during the day and heels at night to completely transform the piece.
Shop the jumpsuit:
Great Black Basics
If you're anything like me, you practically live in black basics. They truly never go out of style. These are cut to perfection and the prices are too good to resist.
Shop the pieces:
A Minimal Miniskirt Look
The best way to wear a miniskirt? Add a tee and a tailored coat for a look that feels sophisticated and cool.
Shop the pieces:
Toughened-Up Leather Trousers
Who doesn't want to dress just like Kate Moss? Here, you can replicate this cooler than cool look that pairs a tissue-thin tank with leather trousers that are finished with hardware/
