It seems impossible to be anywhere in the vicinity of good style without shopping at Zara even once, am I right?
I'm a Zara fan. For years, Zara is where I went to find the latest sleek pieces for both work and casual play. Their seasonal collections seem to always champion pieces like pussy-bow blouses, tops with waist ties, and classic midi skirts. As a brand, they manage to stay true to our expectations while formulating the freshest most-relevant edits.
The Spanish retailer has had loads of practice over the last four decades honing its brand statement. And, for us, at least, they've nailed it. Everything about Zara feels high-end. It's the place to find pieces that not only look and feel incredibly high-fashion but for a fraction of designer prices. You can depend on it.
Zara is definitely the "it" brand for affordable trendy wear. But, many retailers are playing in this space. And we feel you'll think they deserve your attention too. We're not ones to hide a good style tip, so we decided to put together this list of stores like Zara. Because as much as you love Zara, you'll enjoy spreading that love too.
