I'm Kind of a Zara Expert—Here's Every Item I'm Buying From Its Epic Annual Sale
The Zara sale isn't like other sales. The brand doesn't just toss around discounts every few months like some of its competitors do. Instead, it waits until the very beginning of summer—after tons of covetable warm-weather pieces have dropped—and announces one huge markdown that lasts for weeks and turns Zara lovers like me into animals as we all fight to get the best deals. There's a reason why the lines during its sale loop halfway around the store every year. It's epic—and it's all happening right now.
Since practically everything on Zara.com is marked down right now, I thought I'd save you the time and effort of scrolling through hundreds and hundreds of sale items by finding the best ones for you. Decoding Zara's sale is, after all, my favorite pastime. In fact, it's the highlight of my year. So, before I go off on a tangent about my years-long love affair with the Spanish retailer, scroll down to shop my highlight reel from the just-launched Zara sale. And don't wait. Items are already selling out.
I wore this dress on a recent trip to Italy and got at least a dozen compliments.
The '80s called. It said, "Nice outfit."
Shop the matching Gold Button Skort ($30).
Wearing white pants is practically written in law during the summer months.
This set is even more impressive in person than it is online.
Shop the matching Draped Midi Skirt ($23).
