Regular readers of Who What Wear will know–we’re bonafide experts when it comes to shopping on the high street. With so many options on the market, there is an overwhelming amount of new buys landing weekly, and it takes a keen eye (and a lot of patience) to sift through the new-in sections to find the very best pieces. Thankfully uncovering hidden gems happens to be our speciality, and for me there’s no better place to find moments of greatness, than Zara.
Sure, it’s often the store with the longest queue, and yes the website feels like a jam-packed catalogue of endless scrolling, but when you do take the time to sort through Zara’s bumper list of buys, you tend to find the pieces that get the most compliments. In order to test that theory, I popped into the store to try on a load of its new shoes (all in the name of journalistic research), and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. To say there’s something for everyone is an understatement, as this spring there are plenty of flat shoes, party heels, easy loafers, classic ankle boots, casual trainers and wedges to cater to just about every style and budget. A very good start.
While I always head to Zara to top-up the basics in my wardrobe (the shirts, jeans and trousers never disappoint), there is something to be said about their shoe offering. If you’re looking for pieces that are on-trend but will still be wearable in a years time, or shoes that focus on comfort and affordability, Zara should be on your list as one of the best on the high-street.
After spending time trying on my favourite pairs IRL, I’ve picked out 5 shoe trends that I predict will sell out by the time spring gets into full swing. There’s plenty of easy-to-wear loafers that I can see myself wearing with everything from dresses to jeans until the end of the season, as well as chic party heels and off-duty sandals perfect for wearing right now. Keep scrolling to see my verdict and shop the best.
