We’re Seeing Enlightenment Everywear with Zara’s New Collection

The category is minimalism, as Zara unites feminine and masculine with their new wearable collection.

Split hems and necklines leave you unrestricted for maximum comfort, whether you’re hitting the shops or the bar – this collection is for everyone “everywear”. Encouraging you to dress for how you feel, not for the occasion, this core focus can take you seamlessly from the office into post-work socials without the awkward pit stop for a wardrobe change along the way!
