Everyone knows that if you know how to find it, Zara has good—sometimes even great—stuff. There's just one problem: Most people either don't know how to navigate the retailer's website or don't want to. I hear it all the time, and while I don't personally get it (the product styling and occasional Steven Meisel campaign keep me coming back for more), I can see why those with limited time and patience might find the immense selection and various lines confusing to maneuver. Fortunately for anyone who feels that way, I exist.
I've been shopping at Zara for over a decade now, and I know the ins and outs of its website like the back of my hand. (Every year, when the brand refreshes the style of the site after its annual sale, I take special time to get reacquainted.) I know which days of the week the brand drops a fresh batch of new arrivals. I know that ZW Collection is the highest-quality and most style-centric line, apart from Studio, and I know how to tell which items will meet or exceed expectations when they arrive and which won't. I know to always check the Home section for loungewear that can double as ready-to-wear, and the lingerie section for 100% silk sets that look like designer. Every Zara trick in the book? I know it. And I've used them all to curate the shopping list below, which includes all the new items worth buying ahead of fall.
