Our philosophy when it comes to shopping is all about buying the best you can at your budget and looking for pieces that are interesting, useful or beautiful and will also go the distance in your wardrobe. When shopping on the high street, it can be easy to be tempted by passing trends or shiny new things, but it’s important to stay true to your own personal style and the things you know you will actually wear. While we don’t stand by the idea of a Zara haul, you can find some amazing pieces there that will last for several years. Our editors all have sharp fashion eyes, and so each has shared five or so pieces they think are worth buying at Zara right now. From chunky knee-high boots to an amazing red coat, these are all winter staples with a stylish twist. Keep scrolling to shop the 28 pieces we love.
"This is sitting in my basket waiting until I feel cold enough to just hit buy! I'm a longtime knitted-dress fan, and although this kind of striped style is trending right now, I'm also certain that it'll still look great in five or 10 years' time."

Double Breasted Blazer Special Editon
"Take one look at my autumn/winter wardrobe, and you'll see it's predominantly brown. Why? It's that little bit more uplifting than a closet full of black, and it speaks to the '70s look I tend to go for. So this flared suit is an absolute no-brainer addition to the gang."
Zara
Heeled Leather Crepe Ankle Boots
"I'm 100% here for the return of platforms, and all of those pairs of trousers I haven't yet taken up to suit my 5'1'' frame will be grateful for them, too!"
Zara
Jewel Necklace
"Party jewellery you can wear all year round! This will pep up the plainest of daytime outfits, and it's the kind of design you can't pinpoint as affordable or expensive."
"I'm very into the current resurgence of miniskirts, and the interesting silhouette on this one makes it all the more special."
Zara
Oversized Poplin Shirt
"I saw Alexa Chung wearing an oversized blue shirt and black miniskirt, so I'm going to wear an oversize blue shirt and black miniskirt. I'd pair this poplin button-down with the mini above."
Zara
Menswear Style Wool Coat
"There's no winter staple quite as timeless as a double-breasted beige coat. This one is giving Max Mara vibes at a fraction of the price."
Zara
Cut Out Pleated Dress
"This dress feels just perfect for the upcoming festive season. The pleat detailing and cutout silhouette are so elevated."
Zara
Heeled Leather Knee High Boots
"The leather! The pointed toe! The comfy block heel! Everything about these boots screams classic. These would be such a good winter wardrobe investment, and I know I'd wear them on repeat for seasons to come."
