Shopping doesn’t have to be complicated when Zara exists. The Spanish brand has a habit of constantly churning out bags, shoes, sweaters, and more, all of which tap into the latest trends. The store is known for not only its range of stylish options but also its affordable prices, with most pieces coming in at under $200 and many under $50. If you’re on a budget, it’s a great place to seek out the latest trend, be it quiet luxury or balletcore. But knowing you don’t have hours upon hours to sift through the thousands of styles available on the brand’s site, I’m here to help narrow things down and find the best of the best.
Here’s the thing: Zara’s website is stocked with plenty of pieces that look so much more expensive than they are—you just have to know where to find them. Whenever I’m looking online, I keep my eye out for details such as the material, structure, and shape of a piece to figure out if it’s what I’m looking for. I’m also careful to avoid styles that are a little too trendy to last long-term. While there are plenty of times when I need something specific like a sparkly going-out top for a party or ballet flats for the office, I do want to make sure I can wear my purchases more than once.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up 31 finds that represent the best of the best currently in stock at Zara. Things move fast, so shop them before they sell out.
Sweater weather is something I spend half of the year looking forward to and the other half embracing. But what about the humble cardigan? I have a theory: Winter comes and goes, but cardigans don’t have a particular season. Excluding the sartorial necessities of extremely hot or cold days, a cardigan is a versatile piece you should always have on hand. I always have one draped over my office chair and never forget to stow one in my carry-on with a water bottle and a good book—they have that much staying power, regardless of color, material, or style.
One of my favorite types is the collared cardigan, a versatile and timeless iteration that comes in a number of styles, from zip-up and button-down to fitted and loose. Some of my most coveted collared cardigans have pointed collars, while others have dainty Peter Pan collars. Suffice to say: The options are endless. To help you narrow down your options, I curated a list of my favorites.
I knew Zara moved fast when it came to trends, but I never knew it moved this fast. After scrolling through the Spanish fashion brand’s latest arrivals, opening what could possibly have amounted to 100 tabs in my browser, I noticed something. The selection wasn’t touching on trends from this year, but rather, the retailer’s virtual shelves were already fully stocked with all of the trends we’ve been predicting to make it big next year. Apparently, the next 10 days don’t matter. At Zara, it’s already 2024.
In the same manner that we do, clearly Zara’s design team has been busy studying the chicest moments from the runways and scouring the social feeds of fashion’s best trend predictors to get ahead on the trends that are to come post–New Year’s Eve. And while I’m all for living in the moment, in this case, I’m not mad about the head start I can now get on my 2024 wardrobe at a price that’s hard to beat. Scroll down to get to grips with next year’s biggest trends, all of which are currently in stock and ready to shop at Zara.
No matter your personal style preference, fashion lovers of any persuasion can probably all agree on one thing: French people are undeniably chic. So, it’s probably no surprise that our FYP on TikTok routinely serves up style inspiration from Paris—that’s where we first came across Sophie and her style-savvy brood.
The 42-year-old model, image consultant, and mother of three routinely posts her family’s “look du jour” on TikTok. And, despite speaking very rudimentary French, we have spent hours scrolling through her sweet videos. So, imagine our surprise when we discovered just how many of the excellent everyday items in their wardrobe came straight from Zara.
Keep scrolling to check out a few of our favorite TikToks featuring the whole family, then browse several of the affordable, endlessly wearable wardrobe basics from Zara that we’ve spotted on MademoiselleSoph’s feed. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, or in search of something even a Gen-Zer will love, Zara’s got it covered this season. The only thing missing is that highly covetable hot pink Chanel handbag.
Holiday party season is upon us, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you must bust out the pumps. This season, we’re taking a cue from the French and incorporating stylish flats into our winter wardrobes.
From sleek and simple ballet flats to shiny metallic versions, there’s a pair of flat shoes out there that are guaranteed to amp up any outfit. Pick a pair to wear with more casual looks like denim and a structured jacket, or opt for something with a little more pizzazz if you want to add a sparkle to your outfit.
Whether you want to pick up a few pairs for $50 or $60 each, or go all out on a single designer pair for a few hundred, you really can’t go wrong with the array of flats available to shop this season. Keep scrolling for 13 of our picks that are giving serious French-girl vibes, and the rest of the outfit will follow.
There are calls for a boycott of the Spanish brand after a photoshoot for its 2024 Atelier range showed mannequins wrapped in white fabric and models standing amid rubbish from freight boxes, which some said resembled war rubble and coffins. One controversial image in particular showed a model with one of the mannequins balanced on her shoulder.
Some have claimed the campaign is inspired by the war in Gaza, where thousands have been killed since October 7, because the images look similar. Piles of bodies wrapped in white sheets have become a familiar sight in the conflict.

Israeli forces have killed more than 17,700 people in Gaza since Hamas launched a surprise attack last month, according to Associated Press. Hamas killed 1,200 people in Israel in the original attack and took about 240 hostages back to Gaza.
Following the backlash, some of the images appeared to be deleted from Zara’s social media, but remained on its website. Newsweek contacted Inditex, Zara’s parent company, by email for comment.
“@ZARA’s new marketing campaign uses designs inspired by the ongoing genocide in Gaza to promote a new collection. coffins, destruction, corpses, and glorifying killing. Zara faced boycott calls a year ago after its hosted their local agent the Israeli leader with a thirst for killing Palestinians and Arabs, Itamar Ben Gvir, at an election event,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another added: “ZARA recent campaign exploiting a genocide & commodifying Palestine pain for profit is disgusting Shame on you brand @ZARA for stooping so low prioritizing greed over humanity & pretending it was harmless Deleting posts afterward magnifies awareness of harm.”

And a third wrote: “Shameful act@ZARA #BoycottZara is not just a call for action; it’s a plea for basic human decency. There seems to be a void of humanity in these actions, and it’s crucial to stand united against such exploitation.”
It is not the first time Zara has come under fire for issues relating to Israel and Palestinians.
Zara also faced calls for a boycott in 2021 when it was revealed one of its head designers had sent a Palestinian model an anti-Palestinian message via DM on Instagram.
Model Qaher Harhash said Vanessa Perilman, Zara’s head designer for the women’s range sent him the message after his pro-Palestinian stance on Instagram.
“Maybe if your people were educated, then they wouldn’t blow up hospitals and schools that Israel helped to pay for in Gaza,” a screenshot of the alleged message read.
“Also I think it’s funny that [you’re] a model because in reality that is against what the Muslim faith believes in and if you were to come out of the closet in any Muslim country you would be stoned to death.”
Harhash then posted those messages online, leading to a call for a boycott of Zara, and he later claimed Perilman sent him more messages apologizing out of fear of losing her job and her children’s safety.
The model also said Zara had asked him to share Perilman’s apology publicly, but he refused.
“If Zara wants to make a statement with me, they also need to address Islamophobia. When certain fashion designers said anti-Semitic things, they were fired from their jobs,” he wrote on Instagram.
“So far, Vanessa Perilman hasn’t been fired.”
Harhash added: “For me an apology means to fully acknowledge the pain or suffering you caused someone. She came into my DM’s wrote hateful comments, why should I accept a half assed apology?”
More recently Zara was slammed after the owner of its Israeli franchise hosted the country’s hardline right-wing national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, at a campaign event.
Joey Schwebel, a Canadian-Israeli dual national and chairman of Zara Israel, hosted Ben Gvir at his home in Ra’anana, according to the Times of Israel.
Following the event, Palestinians were seen burning clothes from Zara and calling for a boycott of the brand on social media.
Ben Gvir is the head of the far-right nationalist party Otzma Yehudit, which translates to Jewish Power. He has been indicted 53 times for violations that included racial incitement, violent acts and supporting a terrorist organization. He was also convicted of eight criminal offenses that included such violations.
Shortly before Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, Ben Gvir stole the emblem of Rabin’s car, presented it to TV cameras, and said: “Just like we got to this symbol, we can get to Rabin.”
Yigal Amir, a right-wing extremist, assassinated Rabin on November 4, 1995.

If there’s one thing that I can’t say no to, it’s a simple Lady Jacket. Popularized in the ’60s by oversize gold buttons, bouclé and tweed detailing, and sharp, cropped silhouettes, the retro outwear style was the jacket of choice for both It girls and high-society women alike. With famous wearers like Princess Diana, Jackie Onassis, and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, these jackets have seen a huge surge in popularity recently, especially among the stylish Paris set.
Even though the timeless silhouette was once only associated with older stylish women, modern twists like slouchy cardigan iterations and minimal buttons have kept the jacket style feeling fresh over the years. Below, shop out the Parisian uniform of choice along with some other jaw-dropping Lady Jackets, bouclé jackets, and tweed jackets French women have been wearing for decades.
There’s nothing I love more than throwing a chic statement coat over my black leggings and neutral turtleneck sweaters and calling it a day. When it’s the middle of winter and I have more motivation to stay inside than pull out a ‘fit, statement coats are my saving grace. Not only do they keep me warm when combined with the right base layers, but they make my outfits look 10 times more polished and coordinated without even trying.
This year, there are a few statement coat trends our editors can’t stop thinking about. From over-the-top furs to colorful leathers, there are hundreds of wow-factor coats and jackets that just hit different. Below, shop some of the best statement coats that’ll leave you feeling like the main character this season.
As someone who has been buying Zara sweaters for years, I know a good one when I see one. The beauty of them is that they’re very well-priced for the quality. And perhaps thanks to the quiet luxury movement of 2023, there are quite a few options this season that look elegant and expensive—and the bulk of them are less than $75, believe it or not.
Luckily for you, it’s going to be 20 degrees this week where I live, and needless to say, I’m in the mood to shop for knitwear. Accordingly, I scrolled through the dozens of sweaters on Zara in search of the most luxurious-looking ones (that are still in stock—people have really been buying them up lately). What I found are 28 cardigan and pullover options that are sure to impress you, keep you warm, and make your outfits look expensive this winter (and next…). Scroll to shop the Zara sweater goods before your size inevitably sells out.
I’ll admit that I don’t love dressing for winter. I’m more of a “sundress and strappy sandals” type of girl. But living in NYC means it’s time to bundle up—whether I like it or not. Thankfully, Reformation, Zara, and Anthropologie came to the rescue with so many cute winter items that I softened to the idea of bundling up. On my hunt for winter items to get me in the mood for the months ahead, I found 30 chic items that I knew I needed in my closet like yesterday. Keep scrolling to see which Ref, Zara, and Anthro picks I’m loving at the moment.
Sale season is in full swing, and this is the time of year I really let myself splurge. But since everything is heavily marked down, it’s guilt free spending… right? Zara has been one of my tride and true retailers for years now and this sale season they did not disappoint. I wanted to stock up on some great knit pieces, some holiday party looks, cool faux leather outerwear pieces, and of course a new pair of shoes (or three.) Keep scrolling to see which 30 Zara sale items I’m ordering now, while they’re still in stock.
The Rana Plaza Collapse was supposed to be a turning point for all garment workers to gain more protection and earn fairer wages. Ten years later, garment workers are still sewing hidden cries for help in clothes and fighting for livable wages in brutal clashes with Bangladeshi police.
Approximately 5,000 workers who were responsible for sewing clothes for Zara, H&M, and other fast-fashion brands went on strike for an increase in wages. It seems that the workers will not stop until they get $209 a month, since they’ve refused the measly 56% minimum wage increase. The workers’ demands aren’t even significant, since monthly costs for a single person in Dhaka are around $402 excluding rent.
Protesters have had violent encounters with local police, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. The police have used tear gas and rubber bullets against the striking workers. Trade unionist Nazma Akhter spoke to The Guardian, saying “The proposed new wage is unacceptable. We reject it and demand a revision,” adding “Global fashion brands must also speak out, … What use is all their talk of female empowerment when the women who make their clothes are being murdered on the streets?”
The garment workers have the power to stagnate the country’s economy as well, given that Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest apparel exporter. Fast fashion clothing relies on overconsumption, as people buy more clothes they don’t need to keep these multinational corporations afloat. And since fast fashion isn’t produced to last, consumers are forced into a cycle or buying and rebuying.
Bangladesh is raising the minimum wage for garment workers by 56% after workers led mass protests.
Weeks of strikes had shut down factories for brands like Gap, H&M, and Zara.
Worker groups plan to keep protesting, saying the new $113/month wage falls far short of fair pay. pic.twitter.com/D2K0cPBHwH
Workers have hardly anything to lose, and so much to gain by fighting for livable wages. So the next time a sparkly H&M dress goes on sale for the next Taylor Swift concert, ask yourself: why are concert tickets worth $400? And why are garment workers making barely anything to churn out fast fashion in dingy sweatshops?
Of all the beautiful things Zara consistently has for us to buy, it might be knitwear that we look forward to the most each fall and winter. As an editor, it’s practically in my job description to browse the site daily—and, believe it or not, I get a bit giddy when the weather starts to cool down and I let myself shop in the cold-weather-essentials department, despite the fact that my closet and dressers are literally bursting at the seams. What’s a few more sweaters to add to the collection?
Right now, there are well over 500 Zara sweaters to chose from, and since it’s a bit ridiculous to expect you to look at every single one of them, I did the hard work for you. That meant browsing almost 41 pages of cardigans, sweaters, and pullovers to pick out the best 31. It wasn’t an easy task, dear Zara lover, but I did it just for you. (You’re welcome!)
There’s nothing worse than an ill-fitting pair of jeans, especially expensive ones. Nowadays, it feels like jeans prices are through the roof while the return on investment in terms of quality and comfort no longer exists. Personally, I’ve paid way too much for jeans that either pinch, squeeze, or suffocate me without flattering my figure or making me feel secure. While I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with luxury jeans over the years of being an editor, I have to admit that sometimes the jeans I constantly gravitate toward are some of the cheapest.
Whether it’s by word-of-mouth recommendations from my friends, spending hours reading and watching reviews, or trying these jeans for myself, these 18 pairs of under-$75 jeans are some of the best on the market, hands down. Scroll to shop, and if you buy them all up, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
If there is ever a time to have fun with your wardrobe, it’s the holiday season. Sequins, velvet, feathers, bow motifs, red hues—all not only appropriate but encouraged. I always look forward to this time of year since I love to get all dressed up and celebrate, and I seldom meet a sequin outfit I don’t like. With Halloween in the rearview mirror, all of my focus has shifted to full-on holiday mode. What better time than now to round up some affordable holiday-party-ready picks for all the upcoming festivities? I’m going to let you in on a little secret. When it comes to holiday party dressing, I turn to Zara and Reformation first. Neither of these retailers is playing around with its holiday 2023 pieces. I’m talking gorgeous velvet dresses, fun sparkly bags, sequin blazers, and bow-detailed shoes, just to name a few. These 30 picks from both Reformation and Zara caught my attention, and I absolutely had to share them with you.

Take a deep breath—Zara’s Black Friday 2023 sale is nearly here, and oh boy, is it going to be a hell of a time. I mean, even the fashion retailer’s regular, non-Black Friday sales often get intense, with discounted items legit disappearing from your online shopping cart if you’re not quick enough to hit the checkout button. To keep this from happening on the biggest shopping holiday of the year, we’re crafting a game plan so that we can get in on the sales, and get out with the savings, as quickly as possible.
If you haven’t been keeping up with what’s new at Zara lately (ugh, fake fan), then believe us when we say that they have been dropping some hot-ass styles. We’re talking hot-off-the-runway trends for 2023 that are about to rule, faux leather finds you’ll be wearing throughout the rest of fall and winter, drool-worthy winter boots, and all the neutrals your heart could ever desire.
Zara is the go-to place for chic styles on a dime. And we’re not the only ones who know it—just have a look at Zara’s best sellers list. There are ways to rock outerwear trends, pops of red and some stunning heels for a night out.
Usually, Zara celebrates Black Friday with a site-wide 30 percent-off discount (!!) Think of the possibilities. You can finally snag that one item (or 10) you’ve been eyeing ever since their Fall/Winter 2023 Collection dropped. You could also spoil the people on your holiday shopping list—and not break the bank over it.
Zara has not officially released this year’s Black Friday deals but as a repeat customer, I can speculate.
True Zara fans know you’re able to get early access to the Zara Black Friday sale a full hour earlier at 6 p.m. EST by shopping through the Zara app.
Below, check out all of the blazers, jeans, dresses, purses, and shoes that we’re definitely buying during Zara’s Black Friday 2023 sale. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Why risk obliterating customer trust for a few dollars? That’s the high-stakes gamble that’s plaguing the business landscape as companies increasingly implement return fees. In a bid to curb a burgeoning problem of product returns, businesses have inadvertently stepped into a loyalty minefield. The trend, prevalent yet contentious, warrants scrutiny through the lens of behavioral science to grasp its long-term ramifications.
So, here’s the conundrum: businesses are hemorrhaging money on returned goods. Happy Returns, a logistics company, released a survey that found 81% of retailers have implemented some form of return fee in the past year alone. On the surface, charging return fees seems like a logical step. It’s a move aimed at deterring frivolous returns, and according to many companies, it’s working.
Amazon, H&M, and Zara, retail giants in their own sectors, are among many that have started charging return fees and are promoting in-store returns. Amazon levies a $1 fee for shipping returns through United Parcel Service, while H&M charges $5.99 for returns sent through the U.S. Postal Service. Zara takes $3.95 off your refund for mailed returns.
On one hand, these fees are modest, but they are potent enough to disrupt the shopping experience. Consumers are savvy; they calculate the entire cost of shopping, including the hassle and expense of potential returns. Happy Returns also found that about a third of companies surveyed lost customers due to these new fees. According to their survey, more than 80% of consumers check a retailer’s return policy before making a purchase with a retailer for the first time and 55% of the consumer population surveyed have abandoned a shopping cart if the return policy wasn’t convenient.
Blue Yonder, a supply-chain software provider, further substantiates this in a different survey, revealing that 59% of consumers are deterred from making a purchase if they’re faced with tighter return policies. So, while you might stop the bleeding in the short term by charging return fees, you’re creating a less hospitable shopping environment that drives customers away in the long term.
The intricacies of cognitive biases in return fee decisions
While financial metrics and logistics often dominate corporate decisions about return fees, cognitive biases play an underrated but influential role in this complex equation. Recognizing these biases not only sheds light on why businesses might opt for such fees but also offers insights into how these choices can adversely affect customer behavior.
First, consider the cognitive bias of hyperbolic discounting. This bias explains our natural propensity to opt for immediate rewards over future benefits. When a business is dealing with the costly logistics of managing returns, the immediate relief provided by implementing a return fee can be overwhelmingly tempting. It’s a quick fix that shows immediate results, thereby satisfying shareholders and seemingly tightening up a leaky supply chain process. However, by focusing so intently on the here and now, companies often overlook the long-term consequence, which is the gradual erosion of customer loyalty.
Next, let’s delve into the empathy gap. This cognitive bias refers to the difficulty of understanding and predicting the emotional states of ourselves and others in situations that are different from the present. When board members discuss implementing a return fee, they may find it challenging to fully comprehend the emotional toll such a fee takes on consumers. Often encapsulated in corporate bubbles, decision-makers may not grasp that for many consumers, the fee is not just an economic cost but an emotional one. It feels like a betrayal, a breaking of the tacit trust between consumer and brand.
Finally, we must discuss the anchoring effect, where we grow used to a certain anchor and feel that it’s the normal and appropriate state. For years, many consumers have grown accustomed to a no-fee return policy, viewing it almost as a retail standard. When they’re suddenly confronted with return fees, even seemingly nominal ones, their reactions can range from surprise to betrayal. This anchoring effect — where customers have mentally pegged their shopping experience to the absence of return fees — means that the introduction of such fees creates cognitive dissonance and a negative emotional response.
This form of customer anchoring can have significant repercussions. Not only are these customers likely to reconsider future purchases, but their overall perception of the brand may also shift negatively. They may even become vocal critics, sharing their displeasure in reviews or across social networks, thereby influencing potential customers. Brands need to recognize that they’re not just introducing a new fee; they’re deviating from a consumer expectation that has long been anchored to a no-fee experience. This pivot can create ripples that extend far beyond a single transaction, eroding hard-won customer loyalty and affecting long-term profitability.
By taking the time to understand these cognitive biases, businesses can arm themselves with the nuanced insight necessary to make better decisions about implementing return fees. It serves as a reminder that decision-making, especially on matters that affect customer trust and long-term loyalty, should never be taken lightly or made in a cognitive vacuum.
By analogy, consider Southwest Airlines. I love flying with them. Perhaps I’m revealing my age, but I started flying when airlines didn’t charge bag checking fees for less than two checked bags. When other airlines started to charge fees, I felt a real reluctance to fly with them. I tried to take Southwest everywhere it flew, not even checking other airlines if I had a decent option with Southwest. And I’m not alone. Many travelers like myself became anchored to no bag checking fees and won’t even consider other airlines if Southwest flies to their desired destination. Sometimes they – and I – end up paying more for a Southwest ticket, but the absence of baggage fees and the added layer of trust make all the difference. Southwest stands as a vivid example of how a company can benefit by not nickel-and-diming its customers.
So, what’s a future-forward retailer to do? In a world where brand loyalty is the golden ticket, consider zigging while others zag. Instead of aligning with the immediate benefit of return fees, invest in enhancing the overall customer experience. In doing so, you’re not just retaining a customer for one transaction; you’re retaining them for life. Understand that businesses don’t merely sell products; they sell experiences. And you’ll steal the customers pissed off at the Amazons of the world who nickel-and-dime them over return fees.
Conclusion
In the relentless race to maximize immediate profits, companies charging return fees risk long-term loyalty, the cornerstone of sustainable business. While the initial numbers might seem favorable, they mask an undercurrent of consumer dissatisfaction that could eventually morph into a full-fledged backlash. In a landscape punctuated by volatile consumer sentiments, the question businesses need to ask themselves is simple: Is the immediate monetary gain from charging return fees worth the irreversible damage to customer loyalty? Southwest Airlines already has its answer. What’s yours?
The holidays, as filled with joy and celebration as they are, can also be majorly stressful. There are presents to buy, people to see, parties to attend, and of course, outfits to pick out. So. Many. Outfits. And while we all cumulatively wish that the perfect velvet top or off-the-shoulder LBD could just magically appear in our closets right before we have to head out the door for the first event of the season, that isn’t exactly how it works in anyone other than Cher Horowitz’s closet. Damn.
That’s kind of where I come in. Well, me and Zara. After scrolling through the brand’s latest drop, it dawned on me just how perfect so many of the pieces were for the various holiday events we’ll all be invited to attend in the coming two months or so. So, to help curb the stress of the forthcoming holiday season, I copied a few of the most appropriate (and chic!) items from Zara’s new-arrivals page and pasted them below. It’s as close to the Clueless closet as I could get. Scroll down to see how I did.
Sometimes when I’m up late at night on my way home from dinner or scrolling mindlessly on TikTok, I’ll head on over to Zara.com to see the brand’s newest, chicest collections. It’s practically second nature as a shopping editor to peruse the site when I’m bored in an attempt to soothe my mind. The last few times I’ve been pages deep within the Spanish brand’s coats, jeans, and knitwear, though, I’ve been finding it harder and harder to browse without adding something to my cart—especially when some of the best finds at Zara right now are coming in under $100.
Now that we’re fully settled into fall, there are so many pretty, shiny things I’m eyeing that, thankfully, won’t make a dent in my credit card bill due to their low-cost, high-joy output. Ahead, I’ve rounded up the very best pieces from Zara I have my eye on right now, including on-trend coats, adorable footwear, and everyday basics.
