While Zara is usually the go-to for getting your hands on the trendiest of items, I often visit the retailer for different reasons—to stock up on my selection of basics. It has
never steered me wrong, as I still own pieces I bought years ago and wear on rotation today. I first started off my career in fashion as a college student but was able to polish myself up for interviews and industry events using the capsule pieces I was able to afford from Zara. If you're also looking to give your basics a little bit of an upgrade but are on a budget, then you have come to the right place. You will find basics that are a little more stylish, and you can wear these for years. Take it from me—I've been doing it.
From blazers to fitted trousers, some of these pieces have quite literally become staples in my daily wardrobe. After all, I am an outfit repeater just like Lizzie McGuire was, and that's never a bad thing in my book.
