Elaine Davis is always one of our go-to sources for effortless style inspiration. She's lived in NYC for decades and has perfectly mastered that easy yet chic vibe for that life in the city. While she turns to a variety of stores to create her forward ensembles, there's one retailer she has been shopping at often to uncover some of her go-to pieces. Yep, we're talking about Zara.
"Every season I pull looks from my closet of staple pieces, but always look to one of my fave retailers, Zara, for a few goodies to sprinkle in here and there," she said. "I'll grab an on-trend piece or two, along with a few classics like a white button-up, sweater, or a timeless coat to refresh my wardrobe." With that in mind, we thought we'd dive a bit deeper into more of the specific pieces she's all about right now.
Keep scrolling to check out the Zara items Davis has added into her wardrobe or is looking to mix in this season. Naturally, there's also visual and shopping inspiration coming your way as well.
1. Longline Cardigans
"You just can't go wrong with a great full-length cardigan. I especially love when it's a super-thick knit that I can wear belted as a coat."—Davis
2. Chic Loungewear
"This season has been all about the knit loungewear, and I'm all the way here for it. I love when I can wear an outfit dressed up or down with equal ease."
3. Midi Skirts
"A gorgeous midi skirt is one of my weaknesses. I love pairing them with tall boots in the winter. If it's a wool knit midi cut fabulously, that makes it all the better."
4. Classic Outerwear
"Classic coats in classic styles and colors that play well with my entire wardrobe are a must. In my opinion, houndstooth is a neutral."
5. Perfect Black Boots
"The perfect black boot. Need I say more?!"
6. Puffers
"I absolutely love puffer jackets, and when I came across this puffer shacket, I fell in love. It's just a perfect marriage of functional and trendy."
