I'm a 64-Year-Old Editor—Here's Everything I'd Buy From Zara Right Now
The fashion on offer this fall is making a strong case for being ageless, and that couldn't be truer for everyone's favorite affordable shopping destination, Zara. The Z is flooded with these timeless pieces (that still feel so on-trend), and we can't help but imagine how each age group would shop the current selection. Just like we've done in the past when we've shared how our savvy readers are shopping the site in their 20s to their 50s, today we're tapping a stylish 64-year-old to share everything that's residing in her Zara shopping cart right now.
Susan Feldman is the founder of One King's Lane and In the Groove, a style destination where Feldman shares her age-defying outfits and shopping tips. Currently, her Zara shopping list is a curated assortment that involves basics like crisp white button-downs, versatile cargo pants, and statement-making ankle boots she plans to wear with everything for fall. Ahead, peruse her picks for the season.
Shop Susan's Zara picks for fall:
"I don't think you can have too many denim jackets. Love this one for the versatility and ease."
"I am loving the bigger silhouettes, and these cargo pants fit the bill."
"I have been looking for a square-toe sandal and love this because it has a great heel and is super alluring."
"I am very, very into skirts at the moment. I love the pleat detail here, and the skirt is perfect in black. PS: I saw a designer version of this that I was coveting that was about 10 times the price."
"I tend to go with a neutral palette, but sometimes you just need to shake things up. I love this print, and the bonus is it goes with so many different tops and shoes."
"Literally the perfect transition dress. It looks like a chic fall dress, but the poplin makes it great for the warmer weather now."
"Who doesn't look great in pink? Love pink with all the gorgeous fall colors."
"New rules: White works all year round. Cargo pants are a great option for fashion look but super comfortable."
"Back in the day, I had a kilt that I loved. This skirt reminds me of it. Great piece to dress up or dress down. Perfect for a day-to-night look."
"I think a pop of color is so fun, and it doesn't get better than red cowboy boots."
"I always have a go-to blazer for fall. This is it for this season. It's super easy to wear and goes with everything."
"I just can't get enough cargo pants. I love that this one can be worn with the belted coat. It is the modern day suit."
"I love neutrals and can never have enough cream sweaters. The oversize proportions of this make it feel very fresh."
"I like to pick up a new white shirt every season. I love the shape of this one, especially the longer back."
Next up: the expensive-looking trend worth ditching your jeans for.
