The "Boring" Wardrobe Basic Zara Shoppers Are Stocking Up On

I don’t think I have to tell you why Zara is our go-to for cool, affordable versions of the season’s best trends. As we’ve shared before, the retailer is putting a major stamp of approval on all things leopard- and snakeskin-printed right now—two of fall’s biggest trends—and the proof is all over fashion girls’ Instagrams. With so many buzzy trend pieces to shop, it’s easy to forget that Zara stocks a healthy supply of wardrobe basics, too.

I was scrolling through the site, I noticed a handful of its simple turtlenecks pop up in the best sellers section, proving that Zara shoppers certainly haven’t forgotten about its great basics. In fact, Zara’s been quietly promoting the layering piece all over the site, showing how to style it in fresh new ways on its other product listings, which might be why shoppers have been quick to add the versatile piece to their carts. A simple turtleneck may not be the most exciting thing at Zara, but soon you’ll see exactly why it’s been a hit.
