The 33 Best Anti-Trend Items at Zara, According to a Fashion Editor

Understandably, everyone thinks of Zara for trends. The brand does them really, really well. That being said, there's more to Zara than just trendy pieces, and if you're not shopping the anti-trend items, you're missing out. When I say anti-trend, I mean the versatile, low-key pieces that you're likely to pair with those trendy items. Basics, if you will.

I'm currently in the market for some fresh summer basics, so naturally, I paid a virtual visit to Zara and added a ton of options to my cart. During the process, I realized they were too good not to share, so you're in luck.
Keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best anti-trend items at Zara to shop for and wear this summer and beyond.
