My sister does not work in fashion but always wants to stay ahead of the latest trends, styles, and It items to invest in. Given her busy schedule, she often asks me for advice on what to buy from season to season, and of course, I happily oblige. What are sisters for, after all? We are both obsessed with Zara, and in her recent text, she asked me for a list of the chicest new Zara items that feel versatile yet fashion-forward and fresh for the year ahead. Shopping at Zara is where I shine (hey, we all have our special skills), so I scoured the pages of new 2025 arrivals and put together this chic list of wardrobe-worthy finds. I’ve included items that touch on this year’s biggest trends (think T-bar shoes and cerulean-blue pieces) as well as versatile, elevated basics that I know will serve her year-round—for work, the weekend, and beyond.
If you, too, want to know the crème de la crème at Zara right now, keep scrolling for my five-star list.
