The hottest items at Zara always sell out in a flash, and when new things drop, there's really no time to waste. By the time you spot someone at work wearing a cool cardigan or get around to asking your friend where they got their great bag, it's usually too late—so assuming you're not looking to be prompted with Zara's dreaded "View Similar," let's not muck around, shall we?
It's the perfect moment to scoop up some on-trend pieces for the year ahead. Zara is currently a treasure trove of on-sale finds, from suede footwear and boxy blazers to chic belts and highly wearable knits. My personal favorite picks are some particularly chic handbags that look way more expensive than their price tags—go, go, go! They won't be around for long.
