Only Zara Could Convince You to Try This Unusual Look

When you’re picking out an outfit, things usually go one of two ways: pants or dress. Thanks to Zara, though, you no longer have to play favorites. For fall, the brand is partnering two of your wardrobe go-tos, creating a look you never imagined would work but somehow just does.
For the popular brand’s F/W 16 lookbook, Zara is mixing and matching the season’s biggest trends, bringing together feminine dresses and street-worthy separates to create a cool look that we’re betting you haven’t tried before. And while we of course we support you shopping the trend, the best part is that you can also easily re-create it with what you already own. Consider it the quickest way to update your wardrobe (and look) for the coming season.
