I'm a Fashion Editor—If I Could Only Wear 30 Pieces From Zara This Month, These Would Be at the Top of My List
Sometimes, I toy with the idea of narrowing down my wardrobe to a capsule collection of sorts from one brand or retailer. In those moments, Zara often comes to mind. The retailer is best known for providing a mix of affordable, classic, and of-the-moment basics with a constant rotation of new arrivals. Not to mention, each piece can be styled effortlessly.
With that in mind, I set out to create a roundup of finds that I would be completely comfortable and happy with wearing if I had to exclusively wear Zara for a month. This ended primarily with chic basics like elevated coats and blazers, classic jeans, and a variety of easy sweaters and tops. There are a few trendier pieces mixed in, especially in the shoe department. Keep scrolling to check out 30 editor-approved Zara picks worth shopping this season.
Boatneck tops are a personal favorite.
I will always love a stylish blue button-down shirt.
Dark-wash jeans make any outfit look elevated.
