Thanks to the Great British weather, there are only a couple of months out of the year that we’re not hastily wrapping ourselves up incosy layers and shielding from the rain. After a particularly brief summer and bright but crisp autumn, we're ready to resume business as usual and get back intosensible winter dressing.Naturally, whilst I was scrolling throughZara's new-in section (one of my favourite pastimes), I immediately started thinking about winter outfit building.
Aside from the premiumpartywear and particularly good accessories (more on those later), Zara is currently full of perfect knits, designer-looking tailoring and thick winter coats—everything you could possibly need for a very stylish season. And, as it turns out, you don't need to spend four figures to look like you did, as thishigh-streetherohas replicated some of our favourite runway pieces at affordable price points, and it took all of my strength not to overload my basket withpiles of the site's hidden treasures.
As Zara pieces tend tosell out in no time, I'veput together five completely different but equally expensive-looking outfitsthat you can start wearing now. From easy, office-appropriate looks to chic weekend loungewear, keep scrolling to see five Zara winter outfits well worth adding to your roster.

Style Notes: This luxe loungewear look is comfort to a T. There's no need for tight jeans, fussy dresses or contending with all the bells and whistles when a stripped-back outfit looks this good, especially on the days you have five minutes to throw something together. Wear at home with socks, out for errands with the coat and swap the clogs for leather loafers to wear to the office.
