I found 10 hidden gems from Zara that are really worth buying
and I'm gonna share those items with you today so that you can go out
and buy them too.
This item is priced at around $50 and I think
that this is a very classic piece that belongs in every elegant and
classy woman's wardrobe.
We have this stripy jumper perfect for fall.
So this is how this jumper looks on me.
Let me tell you one thing that I've been telling you ladies on this channel that
be careful with bulky clothes, like bulky sweaters, oversized sweaters, etc.
But this doesn't mean that you can never wear something a little bit more
relaxed.
I think everything has a time and place and that's important to remember.
You might want to dress something a little bit more relaxed like this look that
I'm wearing right now on days when you want to be a bit more casual,
or if you are in a setting that allow you to be more casual. I like to have
sometimes sweaters like this, even if they're not figure fitted.
Most of the time I wear clothes that are figure fitted,
but there's always a trick of mine that I apply because I wouldn't just like
wear this top just like this. And why is that? Well, as you can see,
it shortens my appearance and that's not flattering. Instead,
I like to tuck it a little bit in.
It doesn't necessarily have to be horizontal.
It can actually sometimes be a diagonal tuck in.
But what is important in this case is that I am extending my lower body
by really tucking it in at least on one side to really show them
my hip so that extends the leg.
And this gives a really nice and relaxed fit,
perfect for your casual days.
So here I'm wearing a pair of palazzo trousers from Aavelle,
and I'm also wearing what I call leg extenders. And actually, that brings me
to the next item because we have a pair of leg extenders priced at around
$140 USD and they look like this.
Now would I wear these shoes just like this? No, I wouldn't.
Would I wear them as ankle boots? No, I wouldn't.
These shoes are definitely not my cup of tea,
but they work great as leg extenders. Look,
when you have pants that are long enough to really cover them,
this really elongates the leg and it becomes very flattering.
The shoes that I was wearing before might give a little bit of a contrast
in color underneath the trousers,
but since these are kind of navy or dark blue trousers,
a pair of black boots with a bit of platform and a big heel is gonna
give you this long leg extension that you want to have to create a beautiful
and flattering silhouette,
priced at around $70 USD. I actually thought that these
trousers were an amazing bargain.
So I put on these black Zara trousers and I've matched it with
a peplum long-sleeve top. And ladies,
I do recommend you to be on the lookout for fall and winter season
long sleeved peplum tops.
They're very much flattering to many body types,
but especially body types that have lack of waist because it gives you a bit of
waist definition.
But I talk more about this kind of knowledge that
you should have on how to look the best in my program,
The Elegant Stylist.
So what has happened here with trousers? First of all, for full transparency,
I actually bought the wrong size.
I did not try any of the things that I purchased on today's list beforehand
because you know,
I kind of feel so experienced by now that I know what I'm doing.
But smarty pants forgot that maybe this size wasn't gonna fit me properly.
So it is a little bit on the bigger size for me,
but I know had it been one size smaller, they would've fit perfectly.
And every lady should have a pair of tailored trousers in her wardrobe.
And actually this time I felt like these Zara trousers work really nicely.
Usually I would advise you ladies to go to more expensive type of store and buy
something a little bit better quality. But actually, these do the job too.
And as you can see, I'm wearing them with my leg extenders.
But my absolute favorite type of shoe for this outfit would be a pair of black
pointy pumps. But these ankle boots work too.
What I like about the next item is that it's very affordable,
$40 USD. And here we go, ladies,
a little staple in your wardrobe.
Every classy woman should own something like this. How nice
is this top. Look, I love the color.
I really love three-quarters or short sleeve turtleneck because I think
sometimes it's a little bit different and always have to wear the long sleeve,
although soon we're gonna be needing the long sleeves for sure.
But I was actually positively surprised inside Zara when I saw this.
It didn't have many nice colors,
but this pink one was the nicest color that I found of this top.
And actually it feels really nice as well.
It doesn't give you that cheap feel that sometimes Zara basics can give you.
Now you could have worn this top with the previous black trousers,
but I wanted to give you a little bit of variation.
I also wanted to demonstrate to you the power of the white trouser because you
know I'm a massive fan and I can tell you that this type of look is
my typical everyday look. A pair of white trousers,
a pair of casual shoes, in this case,
I'm wearing a pair of sneaker platforms. These are from Hermes,
but I'm actually gonna give you a dupe in just a second. So as you can see,
this is a really nice, casually but dressed up outfit perfect for every day.
If you want to look classy, if you want to look elegant,
you don't have to wear trendy items.
Sometimes you can wear something very simple, add a little bit of color,
go for some lighter choices, and voila, you look really chic.
I do recommend your ladies to invest in platform sneakers.
I will explain why in just a second.
But here I have an affordable version for you priced at $80 USD.
Zara actually made a really nice pair.
So as you can see, these shoes are very classic, very simple.
And I do think that many women should have a pair of sneakers with a little
bit of platform in the wardrobe. And there are many reasons for that.
One of the reasons is because it gives you an elongated effect whether you wear
them like I am under a pair of cropped trousers,
or let's say if you're wearing them underneath a pair of longer trousers,
when the trousers are kind of covering the shoe.
That also gives an elongating effect. But the truth is, ladies,
that in our times we are running a lot of errands,
we are being casual at times. For this reason,
I think everyone should have a pair of sneakers,
even though of course the most elegant would be to wear a pair
of beautiful heels. But let's be real,
we don't always have the ability to take taxis.
Maybe we have to walk a lot and a pair of heels wouldn't be able to do the job.
For this reason, sneakers are important,
but you want to have sneakers that kind of blend in well with your look. And as
you can see, these are very neutral. They're not like running shoe types,
they're just regular sneakers.
And I do like the fact that it has a little bit of heel so that you feel longer
and taller.
Now the next piece that I wanna show you is actually one of my favorite pieces today
I think it's a great bargain and I really recommend all of you ladies to go and
get it. As you know, I love wearing light colors.
And I really do feel that during fall and winter,
that is what makes someone stand out and look more elegant.
So you really should invest in light colors, even if you are afraid of them.
I know that many of you are like, no Anna,
don't wanna wear those light colors because I'm just gonna get dirty.
But don't worry, if you get it from something like Zara,
you might not feel very sad if you end up dirty and you know,
ruining the garment. So here, I have a coat.
Who would've thought I would've bought a coat from Zara?
That's not something I usually would do because the truth is, ladies,
I think coat is something that we all should invest money in because they take
up a lot of space on us and they are very visible.
So you want to have something that is very high quality.
But what is interesting with this garment in particular, is that actually
the texture of this coat gives a more expensive look than
Zara's typical textures would do.
So it's some form of textile going around here.
Looks a bit almost like tweed-like.
But what I also like is the cut of this coat.
It's a single button structure and it's a fairly relaxed shape.
I think that it's kind of nice to just wear it open like this.
You can wear a good turtleneck underneath and this way you're not
gonna feel cold whenever you wear your coat open.
You can of course close it then it will look something like this.
Also quite nice, you have the pocket detailing here on the side,
but I think my favorite is to just keep it open.
And literally you can wear this coat with any colors.
You can also do a nice monochrome look of this.
Honestly, you can wear it in so many different ways.
I was wearing it the other day with just a baby blue shirt dress and it looked
really nice so you can really mix and match.
And that's the beauty of light colors because they are neutral colors,
meaning that they go pretty much with all colors. So next,
I actually have a pair of trousers in a color that I think every classy woman
should have in her wardrobe, priced at $60 USD.
And this is how these trousers look when you wear them,
aren't they very flattering? But guess why they're flattering? Well,
because they have a high waist and the high waist elongates my entire
body and my legs of course. And actually,
I find it sometimes difficult to find pants with a really good high waist.
But this time in Zara, I was able to find one. And you might be wondering, okay,
but what is this cute little top that you're wearing? Well,
this is actually also from Zara, but like I don't know how many years ago now,
just a very classic from their basic collection.
It's a tight short sleeve top that I have been telling you on my channel
for years and years that instead of wearing a t-shirt,
why don't you just wear something a little bit more figure fitted,
and that has short sleeves that are fitted too, that you don't look so bulky.
But this is definitely a staple in every woman's wardrobe. And yes,
you can find it in Zara too.
But actually the next item that I have is something that is matching these
trousers, priced at about a $100 USD.
It's a matching blazer.
For full transparency, this is my least favorite item on today's list,
and that is because it's an oversized blazer and I'm wearing a size
XS and still it looks a little bit bulky. You know,
I'm not a big fan of the bulky look,
but I do understand that some of you ladies would like to wear it because
it gives a little bit more of a trendy feel.
The reason why I decided to purchase this jacket today and show you is
because it looks really nice with these trousers.
What makes it a little bit more forgiving is the fact that these trousers has a
very high waist, so it elongates meaning that it gives a slimming effect.
Plus, if you keep this jacket open,
you have a little long rectangle going on here.
And that is also an elongating effect.
But more about these types of tips and tricks you can learn
in my fashion styling course called, The Elegant Stylist. Go to
ElegantStylist.me
to get more information and put yourself on the wait list.
Now I personally would not want to wear this blazer closed.
Look, you kind of look a bit ridiculous,
a little bit short, a little bit wide, not my cup of tea.
But definitely if you want to wear the oversized blazer, ladies,
wear it like this.
Can even do a little bit like this to give it more of a chic type of appearance
because actually, it's not as bad when you open it up.
This the way I've done it right now, you can see all of a sudden it's more chic,
it's more, elongating it's more sliming vs. when you just kind of wear it like this.
It looks a little bit not as flattering. But yeah,
this gives a very nice and modern look at the same time being elegant.
And please pay attention to my color choice. This is a light camel,
and I think it's a classic color to have in your wardrobe. It's also neutral,
so it really does go well with pretty much all colors in your wardrobe.
But actually,
one color that it's gonna go amazing with is blue. And I have
something from Zara in the color blue.
So as you can see, blue and camel go really nicely with each other.
I really like this top because it has an interesting texture to the
fabric, something that is not very common in Zara.
It's also stretchy and I really like the kind of dirty blue color.
I also like the fact that it's a V-neck going on here and most of my tops are
actually V-neck. Because V-neck are very elongating and flattering for the face.
It gives the face a more slimming effect.
Now this top wasn't very expensive,
so for this reason it definitely had to make the list because actually it looks
so much more expensive in person because of the interesting texture
of the fabric. And lastly, ladies,
I had to finish it off with a casual item,
which I actually think Zara does really well. If you've seen my previous hauls,
you will see that oftentimes,
I include this kind of more leisure type of pieces and like now
I'm wearing a jacket. So as you can see,
it's a nice figure fitted jacket that's gonna be perfect for your power walks.
And I think that you don't have to spend a lot of money buying expensive jackets
from like, let's say Montclair or something like that.
You can actually really get by with a cheaper piece from Zara that looks
equally as expensive.
And what I like about this piece, in particular, is the fact that it has a stretchy
material here. And why is that a nice feature?
Not only because it cinches you in,
but also it's actually more comfortable when the jacket has a bit of movement
while becoming figure fitted. Ladies, that was all the items for today.
