The new year is just one week away, and there’s no better time to start investing in new items than in the Boxing Day sales. Or in Zara’s case, the Christmas Day sale. Beacause yes, the Zara 2026 sale has started today, Christmas Day, at 6 pm on the app and website.

For 2026, I’m determined to create a capsule wardrobe that perfectly strikes the balance between feeling comfy and looking elegant. I must admit, as someone with a luxury taste on a very non-luxury budget, I’ve always been extremely picky with the high-street buys that I invest in. However, there’s one store that I know I can rely on time and again for expensive-looking buys that will actually stand the test of time in my wardrobe—Zara.

An equal mix of on-trend items and timeless staples, Zara never fails to impress me. And luckily for me (and now you), the brand’s Boxing Day sale is filled with a number of designer-looking pieces that I spotted on my chicest colleagues earlier this year when they were full-priced. Now, the number of items in the sale can feel overwhelming, so I decided to focus my attention on the eleven pieces that truly stand out to me. Think effortlessly chic staples that are able to perfectly blend classic elegance with modern appeal and can be easily mixed and matched into any existing wardrobe.
