32 Perfect Zara Finds That Could Easily Pass as Designer
If my (ahem, weekly) shopping-spree lineup were able to consistently resemble that of a Paris Fashion Week calendar, I'll be first to admit it probably would. However, I tend to err on the side of the much more affordable when I'm online shopping. That's not to say I don't often get my hands on plenty of styles that are so polished and stylish they almost look like designer items. In fact, I just about always do (as a fashion editor, you pick up on just what details to look for), and among all the affordable shopping destinations at my finger tips, I find it's most usually the case when I'm shopping at Zara.
Particularly during the winter, Zara is no stranger to tapping into those ultra-chic styles that feel like something from the runway. Think asymmetric tailoring or structured blazers, sweaters that look unfathomably soft for the price, and a selection of genuine leather boots. I kid you not, you could pull images from the website currently and plaster them in a magazine spread, and I'd believe you if you told me they were by a designer brand. Don't believe me? I've rounded up 32 of the very best styles available right now below for proof. From one fashion person to another, there's nothing better than scoring a stunner that looks more expensive than it really is.
Have you ever seen a long satin skirt this superbly tailored?
This will easily become the coolest black blazer in your closet, and you can go from dressing it up with stirrup leggings and heels to styling it casually with flat boots.
Wool shorts may be the most sophisticated of all shorts.
This jacket has the immediate cool factor of an off-duty model in the '90s.
This scarf-coat may or may not make you feel like you're channeling the Olsen twins (in the best way).
Just imagining how buttery this faux leather is in person (because when it's done right, it's done right).
Statement pieces that feel a little more special than the everyday tend to seem more expensive by default.
A chunky but sturdy knit and a trendy cut are among the key things to look for in a crochet sweater that feels elevated, and this top has both.
The ruching detail makes for a delicate look and creates a silhouette that will look great against trousers.
You won't be sure whether you keep reaching for this top because it's so cute or because it's so cozy.
Coats with removable collars are always worth the buy because you get two looks in one.
Need we remind you Zara has jeans that look expensive too?
This might be one of the most spectacular pieces on Zara's site.
Precisely and thoughtfully shaped trousers such as these usually scream "expensive."
The coats get better and better (and it's worth noting this one also comes with a removable collar).
The one pair of cargo pants that is equally ready for a day in the office and a paparazzi street style shot.
