The beauty of Zara is that whether you want trendy items or classic ones, you'll find them there, and they will most likely be affordable. And as someone who has been shopping at Zara for years, I've found that the quality has gone up a bit. So have the prices, but it's still quite inexpensive, especially if you're getting an item you could wear over and over for years to come.
I shop at Zara like it's a sport, and today, my game plan was to find the most expensive-looking items among the thousands it currently has in stock. I encountered so many high-quality pieces that the hard part was narrowing them down, but narrow them down I did. Some are trend-forward, some are basics, and all are pretty amazing.
Scroll on for all of the shoes, outerwear, trousers, sweaters, and more that look pricey but aren't—sometimes shockingly so.
This oversize coat will fit over all of your sweaters.
These look as good as a pair of $250 jeans (the norm for designer jeans these days).
Into the big, furry collar.
I'm sure this won't stay in stock for long.
As you know, camel makes everything look expensive.
Okay, these are stunning.
This is the ideal outerwear for fall weather.
Perfect for wearing with all of your baggy stuff.
Such a smart fall buy.
I'm sure these will be sold out soon.
For all the maxi-skirt lovers out there, this one is good.
Kaia Gerber is responsible for this cool skirt.
You can't go wrong with a preppy striped sweater.
Just imagine all the things these will go with.
Here's a puffer you'll actually be excited to wear.
I don't always think that affordable printed pieces look expensive, but this is lovely.
It's cool because it's cropped.
This may not be the most exciting sweater you've ever bought, but it'll end up being one of the most worn.
The cinched waist and jeweled buttons make this feel a bit fancy.
This looks so good with knee boots.
These are polished enough to wear to work.
This looks so soft.
These are perfect.
In case you prefer something a little more rustic.
Upgrade your fleece-jacket collection with this.
This would look very cute over a white turtleneck.
Here's your white turtleneck.
I love the random buttons on this.
Everyone will want to know where you got this.
This perfectly captures that French-girl vibe.
