Tis the season for a Zara haul falalalalalalalalalala. Welcome to 2024 fellow readers, it is now the Zara winter sale season and the time for the release of their new arrivals. Here I will be walking you through the try on zara haul outlining the pros and cons of each item, how they sit on my figure and their rating out of ten. I prefer for the majority of my clothing items to be suitable for the office so I am going for a minimalist, Scandinavian, quiet luxury and Parisian style of clothing. Lets go ahead a check out the Zara sale haul.
Facts about my body type:
- I am a size 8/S top and bottoms
- 175cm tall
- Long limbs (sleeves tend to me a little short on me)
My Zara Haul
Item: ZW COLLECTION DOUBLE-FACED WOOL BLEND BLAZER
Size: XS-S
Pros: Lovely wool material, cool shade of grey and pockets. I think this would like greater on someone shorter.
Cons: Weird fit, it would be best to elongate the coat for my height.
Rating: 5/10
Item: PLEATED WAISTCOAT DRESS
Size: S
Pros: Lovely concept, I loved that this is a no fuss outfit whereby you have the skirt and waistcoat readily attached. I liked the harmonious balance of silver buttons and black material. I liked the top half of the outfit.
Cons: unfortunately the skirt was see through, not sure how to fix that (I think wearing leggings underneath would be odd and make the outfit seem bulky.
Rating: 6/10
Item: WOOL BLEND DOUBLE-BREASTED COAT
Size: L
Pros: The khaki shade was stunning, I like the pairing of green and gold. The wool was of great quality, thick and heavy. I really liked the silhouette oversized fit of the coat, you can definitely fit a jumper under this one.
Cons: This con is personal but I would prefer to see this coat in a cool grey or navy blue shade.
Rating: 9/10
Item: ZARA NEW WOMAN 100% WOOL FITTED KNIT CARDIGAN
ART:9598/123/807, it seems the item is no longer on the site, for inspo here is how to style the item
Size: S
Pros: This item is 100% wool and has a nice fitted look, slightly cinched at the waist.
Cons: It had an unusual fit, I unfortunately could not go a size up as this was the last cardigan left. It was tight in all the wrong places.
Rating: 6/10
Item: ZARA CROPPED BLACK TRENCH
ART:8444/496/800, this item is no longer on the zara site, for inspo as to how to style it check this link
Size: M
Pros: This item has a lovely thick material, it sits nicely hitting just above the buttocks region.
Cons: Not sure how to style this item, I don’t like it when my sweater sticks out from under a coat and the majority of my sweaters would do so.
Rating: 7/10
Item: LEATHER EFFECT FULL LENGTH TROUSERS
Size: S
Pros: These leather pants had a nice fit with a straight leg fit and were surprisingly long.
Cons: Did not like how they made my thighs look, I was going for a wide leg fit and these were slightly too tight for that.
Rating: 7/10
Item: CROPPED BLACK WOOL TRENCH
ART: 9412/298, not available on Zara site anymore
Size: XS
Pros: I liked that this coat had a turtleneck that would cover my neck during the windy winter weather in London.
Cons: I did not like how short the trench was, not very useful during the winter, more of a spring jacket. Again they did not have any other size in stock so I could only try on XS.
Rating: 6/10
Item: CARROT FIT TROUSERS WITH DARTS DETAIL
ART: 1608/228/800
Size: S
Pros: This pair of trousers fit nicely and the material was light.
Cons: I was not a big fan of the ‘carrot fit’, I prefer for my trousers to be full length otherwise they make my legs seem short. I also do not like the bulge that they form around the stomach.
Rating: 5/10
Item: GREY MANTECO WOOL JACKET
ART: 8839/791/807, item not available on Zara website
Size: S
Pros: I loved this shade of grey, the v-neck and the quality of Manteco wool.
Cons: The silhouette was meh, this would definitely look better with a black leather belt.
