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

A sweet mini skirt that's part of Zara's new 'lemon girl line-up' collection, this cream number has lemons littered over it, perfect for spring/summer. Style the citrus skirt with a white tank top and denim jacket on a sunny day.

Keeping with the lemon theme, Zara have just released this denim jacket, complete with a built-in printed scarf. The denim jacket itself has a lapel collar, drop-shoulder sleeves and patch pockets on the chest. Plus, it's oversized fit means it can be layered when needed.

Spring dressing calls for a trench coat. But a trench coat that's even more on-trend? The cropped trench. This one from Zara is a more modern take, with a lapel collar, front welt pockets and buttoned fastening.

A knitted top is a good item to have in your wardrobe to bridge this middling weather. Warm enough to allow you to go out in just a light jacket, and doesn't require the same layering a t-shirt does. This one is in a gorgeous amber colour.

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.

Zara's suede jackets are always incredibly popular, most likely down to its affordability and clever designs. This one is no different, made from 100% leather and finished with round neck, zip fastening and pockets, if you do want to bag this jacket, I'd suggest you do it quickly.

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.

It might be too cold at the moment to go full sandal mode, but a mesh ballet flat will give you a little bit of protection, without feeling as chunky as, let's say, a boot. Plus, you can style your Mary Jane's with a white sock for a look that's slightly more preppy.

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.

Leather trousers are a little bit of a life hack when it comes to keeping warm and still looking stylish. A big no-no in summer, leather trousers are notoriously hot, but can come in handy when you actually want that to be the case in freezing temperatures. Style this flared pair with a tailored blazer.

A great bag that's also seasonless, this Zara tote features unique topstitched detailing, unique square handle and double shoulder straps. Plus, at under £40, it's a bag that looks so much more expensive than its price tag.

Keeping basics cheap and cheerful, Zara have just released a new white tee - this time with an enzyme wash finish. With all the features you'd expect from a white t-shirt, it has a rounded neck and short sleeves - ready to be worn as a key layering piece or on its own as the weather starts to brighten up.

Of course, we know how versatile a black loafer can be, but what about a cream loafer? This pair from Zara feature a penny strap and topstitching, as well as a contrasting sole. Style with darker wide-leg trousers and black socks to ensure the shoes are the star of the outfit.

Carrying on with the winter white theme, Zara have just released a brand new pair of satin trousers. And, they actually contend with the likes of Sleeper, Loewe and Zimmermann, with an under £40 price tag. This pair are even finished with an adjustable tie fastening (a godsend when wearing them on a night out) and lace detailing.

Zara have also weighed in on the borrowed-from-the-boys tailoring trend (that we've seen skyrocket thanks to the likes of Miu Miu and Gucci) with a knitted polo neck jumper that's as chic as it is classic. Its practically begging to be worn open over the top of a white tee.

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.

A khaki trench coat is a good alternative to the classic beige trench, and is just a little bit less popular. I almost prefer a khaki trench over a beige, as its deeper colour means styling is a breeze, whether you're pairing with a blouse and blue jeans, or a satin skirt and jumper.
