Whether you’re after an occasion dress, a staple pair of heels for party season or a knitted jumper to complete your winter wardrobe, Zara is the destination on the high street for affordable fashion– and its Black Friday sale is a highlight of the shopping calendar.

As a fashion writer who leans into trends but wants to maintain a classic feel, a lot of my own wardrobe consists of Zara pieces. From a pair of straight-leg jeans that’s still going strong after three years to a pair of £29.99 black ballet flats that are far more comfortable than myriad more-expensive styles.
