We in no way need to sit here and explain to you our interest in Zara. We consistently cover shopping hacks, new collection drops, and everything in between from the fast-fashion retailer. We’re also consistently on the hunt for those must-have affordable products that bring our wardrobes to the next level. Well, after a recent perusal of Instagram, one of those need-now items transpired, courtesy of Emily Luciano.
Known for posting forward yet approachable ’fits, Luciano featured the perfect pair of cropped plaid pants from Zara in her recent look. What makes these $40 trousers ideal, you ask? Well, they’re not only on trend, with the checked pattern and button fly, but they also hit at just the right cropped length to show off your favorite pair of ankle boots flawlessly.
Keep scrolling to check out the Zara pants in all their glory, and if you, too, are feeling them, shop them fast because they’re selling out as we speak. If they happen to be gone by the time you read this, don’t worry, though—we also rounded up a slew of other perfect cropped checked trousers as well.
Proof that these Zara pants really are the way to go. See what we mean with that perfect fit? Her suede ankle boots are completely shown off.
Here's a close-up of the pants on Luciano to really get the details.
