I'm Obsessed With Zara's Sister Brand—17 Luxe Pieces on My New-Season Wish List
Massimo Dutti is a brand you’ll want on your radar for chic pieces and elevated style.
Humaa Hussain
If you're anything like me, you've probably been shopping at the new in section at Zara for a while now. Whereas you once checked the new-arrivals section of the brand's app on a twice-weekly basis, you've now found yourself slowing down, only scanning it once a week and occasionally stopping inside a nearby store on your lunch break. (That's what I call progress.) Though most collections remain chic, not to mention shockingly expensive looking, I've found that some are a bit too far on the youthful side for my taste. Whenever that happens, I turn my attention to Zara's older and wiser big sister: Massimo Dutti.
The brand was founded in 1985 in Barcelona as a menswear label, acquired in 1991 by Zara's parent company Inditex, and introduced to womenswear in 1995. With a focus on uncompromising comfort, exquisite tailoring, and effortless wearability, Massimo Dutti seems to check off every box. (It's no wonder Hailey Bieber is a big fan.) What is worth noting is that, like Zara, there is still work to be done here to make the sizing range more inclusive—many styles only go up to a size 14. Chic clothes are for everyone—retailers, do you hear us?
