Everyone knows the key to having amazing style is mixing highs and lows, both in style and price. It’s easy to find cute and cheap clothes at many fast-fashion stores, but they often lack high-quality pieces, which can make shopping discouraging. BUT, Zara is the exception to the rule. The powerhouse brand is perfect for college girls; they’re on top of every It-girl trend at a great price point. With its European flare, Zara has elegant yet edgy wardrobe staples. You can find everything, from a cute going out top to interview and internship appropriate business wear to the perfect little dress for a holiday party. Zara’s quality is legit; I have several pairs of Zara jeans that I have worn to death and have lasted longer than expensive designer pairs. If you are not already convinced, head on over to their website right now, because the clothes speak for themselves!
Here’s what’s on my Zara wish list right now:
- Biker Jacket.
Everyone needs a biker jacket in their closet. This is a warmer take on a typical leather jacket that is sure to dress up any outfit.
- Little Black Skirt.
The perfect skirt for a cute daytime outfit or going-out. Yes please!
- The Perfect Blouse.
Pair with a black tank underneath or a pretty bralette and you’re good to go.
- Cozy Sweater.
Oversized sweaters are all the rage for winter. Check it off your list with this grey number.
- Velvet Booties.
Last, but definitely not least. Velvet is very trendy right now, and if you don’t want to splurge on something that may go out of style, Zara always has great budget friendly alternatives.
Pro Tip: wait out for Zara’s end of the season sales, because they are always amazing! And always check out their “New In” section because they add new items pretty frequently.
