On a recent Zoom call with my friends, we found ourselves discussing our most recent purchases. With spring officially kickstarting on March 20th, it seems we’ve all indulged in a spot of new-season retail therapy in the hope that we’ll be able to wear said items to see one another very soon. Now, it’s worth noting that all of my friends have different looks—some subscribe to minimal aesthetics, while others are all about ruffles and frills. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle. But what I found most interesting was the fact that, with polar-opposite styles, every single one of my friends had bought fresh pieces from one brand in particular: Zara.
How is it that Zara can create tiered, floral print dresses with oversized, pounced collars, then produce the sleekest blazer and trouser set, and, somehow, they both feel distinctly on-brand? We’re not sure. But this broad appeal is what makes Zara so impossible to resist—you’re always guaranteed to find something you love there.
Just like my friends and I, some of my favourite influencers have also been treating themselves to some new-season Zara wares, forming some of the best outfits I’ve seen on the ‘gram in a long while. Some are preppy, some are pretty, and some are pared-back, but all of them are brilliant. Scroll below to see the Zara outfits that have caught my eye this year, then shop the items you need to re-create them.
