Zara is killing it this SS!

[JMAngel1]

I could have spent £1000 in Zara yesterday - I didn't, very restrained but everything was gorgeous and I never usually say that about Zara - can be very hit and miss. I'm worried I'm chanelling my old 20 something me as it's all cami bias cut slip dresses and Ghost style dresses and lovely baggy chambray trousers which remind me of Dash. And if I had a wedding to go to, which I don't, there are beautiful halterneck chiffon voluminous maxi dresses in vivid colours. Anyone else loving it?

Well I'm certainly not and I agree with her so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meh. I’ve bought a couple of things there over the years but it’s all a bit shapeless for my taste.

Some of the dresses are really sack-like.

Fancy have you got the link for that dress please?

Dead

Agreeing and blatantly posting picture after picture of the latest collection are not the same. I mean I quite like Zara, but I wouldn't waste my time and energy trawling the website to copy and paste multiple pictures onto a forum.

So english what do they do on the Hushita thread????

Not keen on anything posted on this thread apart from the blue dress (which looks like it could be nice but looks bloody awful on the model).

I don’t have much success with Zara. I’m a 5’4” hourglass with big shoulders and boobs and everything looks awful on me. Plus the sizing comes up so small that I always leave the shop depressed. I’ve never bought a single thing from there.

I like what you've posted OP! I do worry for about the negativity surrounding absolutely anything in this world, it's quite depressing isn't it.

And as for time and energy, I had a lovely lie in whilst DH sorted DCs this morning so chose to do this with a cappuccino in bed - my idea of bliss plus looked at more on site too.

JMAngel1 how is the sizing on the day dress and the pink trousers do you know? I am horrified by the sizes suggested on their fit finder

So english what do they do on the Hushita thread????

No idea. Never seen it. This thread came up in active and I read it as advertising, that's all.

Agree JE - bonkers!

Always find Zara overpriced for poor quality. Would compare the quality to H&M, but don't mind it so much from there, usually go in to buy disposable kid's summer clothes they will have grown out of by next year.
Actually though, the kid's stuff in Zara seems better quality than the grown up stuff...

I wasn't being negative, in fact I said I quite like the collection. But it screams advertising to me, that's all. Not a negative, just what I see.

I'm 6-8 and I got XS in the blue day dress and 34 in the pink trousers.

You do sound like the Zara Marketing Team OP.

But agree that Zara quality is awful. The only thing I've bought from there was like a dishrag after one wash. Wasn't cheap either.

I find that they're not worth bothering with anyway because they don't cut for my shape either.

Not usually a Zara fan but I love that jacket!

Might try the trousers too

I like the designs but the majority is polyester. I wish brands would stop with this horrible environmentally damaging fabric!

Yeah I don’t get the advert accusations. Zara’s sales are in the region of 500m a yr I believe (just in the UK). I dont even think they use influencers but I could be wrong.

Topshop also has some great broderie/cutwork bits.

It's the wording. The only people who speak/write like the OP are marketing people and glossy magazine writers.

Anyone uttering those words in person would sound deranged.

All fabric damages the environment to some degree.

I want to love Zara, it has that quirky aesthetic that I love and I have two major Zaras near me. But .... the best things I've bought are rather boring blazers and jeans! The things I like online rarely live up to the quality IRL.

Some of the kids stuff is really nice though.

This hasn't read like an ad thread at all to me and I'm usually the first to raise cynicism about this sort of thing.

these colours are horrendous

the white dress - and all similar that you find all over the shops are the moment are only wearable by super skinny girls. Something that baggy on a larger frame is not attractive - mind you, it's better than a skin tight garment, but still

Have you got yourself a new job with the marketing team OP?

Also ... the jeans, while being flattering, live a very short life, which makes me cross.

Aaah but I didn't utter them in person, I typed them and that's the point of Style and Beauty - we get to talk about things that we would never talk about in real life - sad but true. I need less sensible friends!
