Look, I don't know what to tell you other than this: Sometimes Zara is just *really* good. Over here in New York, my fashion-industry friends have been highly active on the group thread of late, buzzing about some of the designer-vibe Zara pieces we're spotting on-site. I'm personally of the belief that Zara thrives during these cooler months when the retailer drops some pricier pieces—particularly the expensive-looking leather items (both genuine and vegan) that typically ring in under $400 and always sell out. But there are also plenty more affordable fashion finds, including chic knits and cool footwear around the $50 mark that are perfect for this not-quite-spring time of year.
Obviously, since it's Zara, the product runs deep and it can be a serious undertaking to find some of the best pieces (hiding far away from the homepage). You're welcome to consider it a personal favor that I've compiled some of our most talked-about Zara items for you to peruse, many of which we've already purchased and are possibly wearing at the exact moment you're scrolling this story. I apologize in advance if anything's already sold out—but that's just how it goes with the hottest Zara items, and we got there first.
Not the last leather jacket we'll be looking at today.
Zara
High Waist Wide Leg Jeans
I had a lengthier-than-you'd-expect conversation about how these creamy jeans feel extra polished thanks to the hidden hook fastening above the zipper (instead of your usual button).
Zara
Faux Leather Short Gloves
It's about that time in the season when we've all lost our gloves.
Zara
Split Leather Shoulder Bag
This very on-trend giant suede bag needs a banana for scale.
Punchy blues just might be this season's red.
Zara
Plain Knit Jersey Polo Shirt
A knit polo option for those who require a more subdued palette.
Zara
Water Repellent Trench
As if I need convincing that an espresso brown trench is a good idea.
Zara
Woven Effect Bucket Bag
You'll be so happy you have this come summer.
Zara
Strapless Peplum Top
Highly recommend getting ahead of spring's pastel pink trend (and pairing it with brown, like so).
In case you're in need of some chic brown trousers to wear with your new pink top.
Zara
100% Leather Zipper Cape
I'm sorry, did you say leather cape?
Zara
Side Seams Mini Skirt
The weight and texture of this mini is *so good*.
Zara
Plain Knit Sweater Vest
A little preppy gray moment to pair with your burgundy things.
That's quite a lot of drama for under $350.
Zara
Soft Suede Laced Loafers
A softer take on a loafer for the new season.
Pastel socks feel important right now.
Zara
Faux Leather Bomber Jacket

100% Leather Bomber Jacket
For all of us who scour vintage stores and markets for cool leather bomber jackets but never find a good one.

A little something to remind me on a 35-degree day that, eventually, it will be summer.
Zara
100% Wool Short Sleeve Top
Tidier than your average tee.
Zara
Soft Athletic Sneakers
Brown suede-look sneakers are becoming a staple.
Zara
Combination 100% Suede Leather Jacket
If you never got around to buying a barn jacket, this might be your sign.
These truly look so luxe.
Zara really knows how to do a good blazer.
Zara
Water Resistant Rubberized Jacket
A little rain jacket for everyone who doesn't want to buy an ugly rain jacket.
Zara
Fitted Interlock Blazer
Zara
Satin Effect Midi Dress
One day, in the midst of a "what do I wear to this thing" crisis, this is the dress that's going to get you out the door.
Worth it even before it went on sale.
Zara
Leather Maxi Shopper
Same vibe, but make it an oversize tote.
Zara
Woven Topstitched Mule
We really love a slipper.
I own this cozy (but light!) jacket and have zero regrets.
Zara
Soft Straight Leg Pants
Never met a pair of soft pants I wouldn't impulse buy.
Zara
Padded Running Shoes
These also come in blue, but it's really about the red.
Pre-belted, so you don't have to figure it out.
Zara
Embroidered Faux Suede Vest
This vest is speaking to me, and no, I'm not taking questions at this time.
