Understandably, everyone thinks of Zara for trends. The brand does them really, really well. That being said, there’s more to Zara than just trendy pieces, and if you’re not shopping the anti-trend items, you’re missing out. When I say anti-trend, I mean the versatile, low-key pieces that you’re likely to pair with those trendy items. Basics, if you will.
In case you hadn’t yet discovered this, Zara stocks a slew of basics in every category—from jeans to blazers to T-shirts of every type. Many of them look deceptively expensive and elevated. I’m currently in the market for some fresh summer basics, so naturally, I paid a virtual visit to Zara and added a ton of options to my cart. During the process, I realized they were too good not to share, so you’re in luck.
Keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best anti-trend items at Zara to shop for and wear this summer and beyond.
ZARA
ZW Collection Long Skirt
There’s no need to pay more than $40 for a white poplin button-down.
ZARA
Strapless Poplin Dress
Having a dress like this in your wardrobe is a nonnegotiable.
Great to have on hand from that weird summer-to-fall transitional period.
At this price, might as well just order it in every color.
ZARA
ZW Collection Sleeveless Midi Dress
Sure, polka dots are trendy right now, but they’re also very much classic.
