Zara Sale Summer 2019
Our Editors Shopped the Hell Out of the Zara Sale — Here's What We Bought
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Oh, the goosebumps that come with a Zara sale! We count down the minutes until we can finally scoop up that wedding guest dress we've been eyeing. Sure, the wedding we wanted to wear it to already passed, but we'll have another one soon, right? And those perfect strappy sandals we were holding off on until we received our next paycheck? Now they're ours, baby! For a fair price, too, even more fair and affordable than it was before.
The best thing about shopping at Zara, in our opinion, is that we also pick up some styling advice along the way. "Oooh, that going-out top does look good with those culottes, doesn't it?" Why not buy both? You'll find that some of our editors create their own coordinate sets based on the outfits already featured on Zara's pages. Others are more attracted to the markdowns on statement accessories, like earrings and bags.
Whether you're browsing Zara's discounts for Summer staples you suddenly realised you forgot to collect or looking for standout items that will bring in the compliments, Zara doesn't skimp either way. There's all of that and more. Read ahead to see what we really like — hopefully, it'll be something great that you missed, or we'll just convince you to fall in love with it on the spot.
Zara Knit Tie Dye Dress
"I love that this Knit Tie Dye Dress ($36, originally $70) is an ode to the tie-dye trend without going overboard. The brilliant blue and white palette is fresh — and a little bolder than my usual sheath dresses — but the sleeves and hemline help offset the in-your-face print for a design that looks infinitely more expensive than its price tag." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion & Shop
Zara Belted Pants
"I love the faded look of a utilitarian pant. These belted pants ($26, originally $40) go with everything I own. They are a nice alternative to denim." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director
Zara Natural Coloured Heeled Mules With Shells
"I'm not going to spend a ton on supertrendy heels, so these Mules With Shells ($60, originally $90) are a perfect way to get in on the fun, at a perfect price." — HWM
Zara Blouse and Skirt
"I'm particularly excited about Zara's pairing of this Printed Gathered Blouse ($30, originally $50) and the contrasting Skirt With Fabric Covered Buttons ($30, originally $50). I almost feel like now, one can't possibly exist without the other." — Sarah Wasilak, fashion editor
Zara Rustic Top
"I like this neutral take on a check. I would pair the Rustic Top ($20, originally $30) with off white trousers and slides for an easy Summer look." — DC
Zara Denim Set
"I love the idea of throwing on this Cropped Denim Jacket ($30, originally $50) with Hi-Rise Denim Shorts ($20, originally $30), adding strappy white sandals, and heading out the door." — SW
Zara Floral Print Dress
"Five years ago, I wouldn't have even considered buying a yellow dress. Then one day, I was asked to wear a yellow bridesmaid dress, and while I was initially not thrilled with the idea, I ended up loving what it did for my skin tone. I love the floaty silhouette of this Floral Print Dress ($50, originally $70), which I could wear with several pairs of strappy sandals that are in my closet right now." — Sophie Panych, content director, POPSUGAR UK
Zara Wallet Handbag
"I love the idea of differently shaped mini pouches coming together and making for this Wallet Handbag ($36, originally $46) with the help of colorful beads." — SW
Zara Tie Dye Skirt
"Can you tell I can't get enough tie-dye? The silhouette and the colours on this Tie Dye Skirt ($40, originally $70) are the kind that'll look crisp in contrast to a great white t-shirt." — HWM
Zara Striped Tank
"This Striped Tank ($30, originally $50) will help me pull off the throwback 2000s "dress over pants look" without going over the top." — SW
Zara Vinyl Cross Strap Flat Sandal
"I like the whole flip-flop thing that's coming back, but I wouldn't mind a more elevated version, like this Vinyl Cross Strap Flat Sandal ($30, originally $40)." — SW
Zara Pleated Dress
"This green Pleated Dress ($50, originally $70) is going right to the top of my list. It's a great colour, I love the ruffled detail, and it looks supercomfy for hot days. Bonus: it would be just as cute with a pair of beach slides as it would be with heels, making it perfect for packing for weekends away." — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor, POPSUGAR UK
Zara ZW Premium HW Culotte Jeans in White
"I owned a pair of white, high-waisted denim culottes that I loved and managed to keep clean for almost four years. Then last Summer, I spilled iced coffee down the front of them, and that was it. I've been on a hunt for a new pair ever since, and I think the ZW Premium HW Culotte Jeans in White ($36, originally $50) might fill the bill." — SP
Zara Real Pearl Bead Earrings
"Sadly, I'm not going to a tropical island this Summer, but these Real Pearl Bead Earrings ($13, originally $20) will definitely make me feel a little bit like I did. I'll be teaming them with all my Summer dresses." — GC
Zara Print Jumpsuit
"As a huge advocate for the Hawaiian shirt trend, I love the colorful, tropical pattern on this Print Jumpsuit ($20, originally $30). The v-neck silhouette makes it subtly sexy, too!" — Victoria Messina, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features
Zara Belted Poplin Shorts
"I love everything about these polished Belted Poplin Shorts ($20, originally $30) — and I'm not even a shorts person to begin with." — HWM
Zara Floral Midi Skirt
"I just moved to London after living in New York City for 16 years, and I'm definitely getting used to the style differences between the two cities. Everyone here has a midi skirt that they wear with sneakers — excuse me, trainers, and I definitely need one in my wardrobe. This Floral Midi Skirt ($40, originally $70) will go well with a faded, moto-style denim jacket I already own." — SP
Zara Openwork Embroidery Top
"This Openwork Embroidery Top is just the right kind of sweet-meets-sexy." — HWM
Zara Floral Print Dress
"This Floral Print Dress ($60, originally $90) looks like a great vintage market find. I would wear it as a cover-up or a weekend dress with slides." — DC
Zara Textured Embroidered Top
"I've been collecting white tops for the Summer. This Textured Embroidered Top ($26, originally $40) would look great with skirts or denim." — DC
Zara Raffia City Bag With Tortoiseshell
"This Raffia City Bag With Tortoiseshell ($50, originally $70) is the best of both worlds and the perfect way to make a Summer beach bag a bit more office appropriate. Also, plenty of room for snacks!" — GC
Zara Metallic Thread Printed Dress
"I love a breezy cover-up I can throw on over my suit and feel pulled together if a long day at the beach turns into an early dinner and drinks. This Metallic Thread Printed Dress ($40, originally $70) was made for my ideal Summer lifestyle." — HWM
Zara Everyday Backpack
"I'm always on the hunt for a basic backpack that matches with everything, and the price tag on this Everyday Backpack ($23, originally $30) is pretty darn hard to resist." — VM
