Every Time I Wear Zara, People Think It’s Designer—Here’s What To Shop To Have People Fooled

The latest iteration of Zara's sell-out waistcoat top with gold detailing is this, a design that's finished with clever features like elastic gathers at the sides and a lapel collar. Style with a pair of baggy jorts and sandals, or with a pair of wide-leg jeans.

Everyone needs a good raffia tote in the warmer months, and one that's just as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. Zara's iteration comes with a removable inner zip pouch, braided top handle and crossbody strap.

Remember that Zara pink satin midi dress that went viral a couple of years back? Well the brand has released another satin style that's almost guaranteed to go viral again - this time with a higher, cowl neck and pleated shoulders.

I know jorts/bermuda shorts can be a little bit like marmite, but when I saw this pair of butter yellow shorts I knew they're about to become my spring staple. With chic darts, a high-waist and side pockets, wear to the office with a shirt tucked in, or at the weekends with a graphic tee.

A style that's already selling out even though it hasn't made it past Zara's new-in page, this butter yellow halter dress is perfect for spring/summer. Not only does it come in that delectable butter yellow shade, but it also has a flattering halter neck and tie back.

Havaianas are known as the cornerstone of any Scandinavian-inspired wardrobe, and in the warmer months they can literally be styled with anything. Zara has now collaborated with the cult flip flop brand to create its very own rubber style, available in white, black, yellow and blue.

A good pair of trousers to wear to work, then to post-work drinks, these trousers feature a super wide-leg style, perfect for juxtaposing with a pair of chunky sandals. Plus, the darts and front pockets make the trousers look more dressed-up than they really are.

If you're leaning into a Chloé-esque boho-revival this spring/summer, then this fringed dress needs to be at the top of your list. Finished with a round neckline, pleated fabric and fringed hemline, dress up with kitten heels, or dress down with a pair of biker boots.

I know spring isn't a great time for leather, as when it's hot leather just isn't the go-to material, but I couldn't not include this leather biker jacket from ZW Collection. Made from 100% leather, the jacket has exquisite details like an adjustable buckle strap, double-breasted front and long sleeves.

A good jacket to have as it's not too thick, but it also has a hood for those unexpected April showers, this Zara Hooded Jacket is equal parts countryside-core and city-chic.

A good statement piece to have in your wardrobe if you're heading off to any festival this year, this midi skirt has a comfortable elastic waist and ruffle detailing throughout. For the ultimate boho-inspired look, pair with suede cowboy boots and a sheer blouse.

If you're looking for a whimsical midi dress that's practical as well as pretty, Zara have this one that's finished with dainty straps and gathered detail at the front of the dress. I'm imagining this styled with biker boots to a festival this summer.

A quilted jacket is a transitional staple, thanks to its lightweight built that means it can be easily layered and worn on its own too. Available in two different colours, a beige and a light khaki, both are equally as versatile when paired with jeans and a tee.

Butter yellow has been absolutely everywhere already, and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down at all as we head into summer. An iteration that's perhaps inspired by the viral M&S style, this Zara blazer features a tuxedo-style collar, front flap pockets and a double-breasted finish.

If you're on the hunt for a new work bag, Zara have just released the most perfect suede version, finished with topstitching detailing and an interior zipped pocket.

Another great suede piece from Zara is this jacket, which is part of its ZW Collection and features a chic lapel collar and long sleeves. Style with jeans, a crisp white t-shirt, and a pair of chunky sandals or loafers.

Zara's Ruffled Knit Cardigan has already been spotted on team Grazia in its various different colours; grey, burgundy and yellow. Now, the brand have released a bright orange version. Play on its bright hue by pairing with primary colours or florals for a maximalist look.

A blue shirt is again, one of those workwear-core staples. However what I like most about this version is its structuring and the fact it looks like it could almost be denim. Style the shirt with a pair of wide-leg light wash denim jeans and heeled mules.

Ballet flats aren't going anywhere, and Zara have given its pair a woven update for spring/summer. These flats are complete with woven fabric top, round toe and buckle detailing. Style with a linen skirt or wide-leg jeans.

A classic pair of blue jeans is always going to be one of the hardest working staples in your wardrobe. I love this pair thanks to its mid-rise fit that's not too high and not too low.

Scarves, whether that be printed, satin or plain, are having its moment, whether that be over a jumper or tied tight around the neck. This one from Zara has added detailing in the form of sweet pom-poms, and is made from cotton yarn.

A style of jean that's a personal favourite of mine; barrel-leg, horseshoe or balloon (whatever you want to call them) jeans are surprisingly flattering - just try them. This pair from Zara are so reasonably priced too, and come in a versatile mid-blue denim wash.

This knitted top isn't too heavy for spring, thanks to its wide short sleeves, but is thick enough to not need a coat on top. At the bottom there's flared hem details that's almost peplum, and it's almost begging to be styled with cream or blue wide-leg jeans.

As soon as festival season hits (which is soon as Coachella is on the horizon), boho is going to be all we're talking about. This blouse looks like it could've just been plucked from the rails at Chloé, with its ruffles and drawstring rounded neck.

Striped trousers give that effortless Scandi-cool look, and you really can't go wrong with them. Pair with a denim jacket and white t-shirt for a laid-back look, or dress them up a little with mules and a boxy blazer.

If you're looking for an elevated white tank, this is the one for you. Unlike most basic tank tops, this one has exaggerated shoulder pads that add a different, and more sophisticated, edge to any outfit. Style with wide-leg trousers or with Bermuda shorts.

A good alternative to the Hermès Chypre sandal (and one that's £720 cheaper), these Zara sandals are complete with a triple strap, metal buckle and topstitching and stud detail on the straps.
