WWW's All-Time Greatest—10 Items That Changed Our Lives This Year

"I know a good Zara blazer when I see one," said Akhtarzad Eshaghpour. And that brings us to our ode to Zara's oversize double-breasted jacket. Made from at least 25% recycled

polyester, this blazer has the makings of a legit closet essential. "It was love at first sight—e-comm sight, that is. The second I came across it in the new arrivals, I fell in love with the oversize fit, color, and minimal design, and when it finally arrived, it was everything I expected and more. I have to stop myself from wearing it almost every day because that's how often I reach for it," continued Akhtarzad Eshaghpour. 

In fact, our editorial director also got in on the action. "My co-worker, Nicole, pointed out this blazer to me earlier this year, and when I tell you neither of us has ever added anything to our shopping cart so fast, I am not joking. This blazer does everything you hope that it would. It's perfectly oversize, looks great layered over just about anything, and is the kind of blazer everyone will be complimenting you on, so be prepared," said Lauren Eggertsen. While we could stop here, there are more editor testimonials that are worth sharing.

Michaela Buskin, senior fashion editor, branded content, shared, "Not to be dramatic, but I think this Zara blazer is one of the best things I've ever spent $70 on. I wear it weekly over a dress or with denim and any top style. (It's even roomy enough to wear on top of a sweater.) I recently bought a similar faux-leather version, so I'll be alternating between the two until the end of winter." Caitie Schlisserman, beauty director, branded content, echoed that, saying, "Finding the perfect blazer is like finding the perfect S.O. You search for the best fit, and when you know you've got something special—boom—you stop looking. (At least, that's how it's supposed to go.) But really, this blazer has totally changed the game. Not only is it perfectly oversize, but it also makes every outfit look infinitely chicer. I've worn it over dresses to dinner and with a tee and jeans on the weekend—there's nothing it doesn't look good styled with. It's the best $70 I've spent in a while."

There is currently a range of sizes available in sand, khaki, and black.
