Zara is a bona fide crystal ball when it comes to trends. Okay, so while the trends themselves are mostly based on what sashayed down the runways six months prior, Zara has the uncanny ability to pinpoint the exact styles that are going to dominate every season and make them wearable enough to go from niche to viral—while providing us with a whole host of styling inspiration along the way. And if you're not trend-driven, Zara boasts plenty of elevated basics to get your wardrobe looking fresh too.
As someone who loves to try new trends, silhouettes, colors, you name it—but does not have the budget for designer pieces (I'm currently "adulting" and saving up for a house over here), Zara is my go-to destination for all things stylish, affordable and au courant.
On a recent perusal of its site for some new fall pieces, these 37 items below stopped me in my tracks. Not only do they feel of the moment, chic, and versatile but they all clock in at under $50. Music to my ears! Keep scrolling for some of my favorite affordable Zara finds I'm adding to my cart right now.
