39 Items All of My Chic NYC Fashion Friends Are Buying From Zara

Look, I don't know what to tell you other than this: Sometimes Zara is just *really* good. Over here in New York, my fashion-industry friends have been highly active on the group thread of late, buzzing about some of the designer-vibe Zara pieces we're spotting on-site. I'm personally of the belief that Zara thrives during these cooler months when the retailer drops some pricier pieces—particularly the expensive-looking leather items (both genuine and vegan) that typically ring in under $400 and always sell out. But there are also plenty more affordable fashion finds, including chic knits and cool footwear around the $50 mark that are perfect for this not-quite-spring time of year.
Obviously, since it's Zara, the product runs deep and it can be a serious undertaking to find some of the best pieces (hiding far away from the homepage). You're welcome to consider it a personal favor that I've compiled some of our most talked-about Zara items for you to peruse, many of which we've already purchased and are possibly wearing at the exact moment you're scrolling this story. I apologize in advance if anything's already sold out—but that's just how it goes with the hottest Zara items, and we got there first.
