Zara’s New Spring Drop Is Filled With Luxurious-Looking Gems

Zara’s latest arrivals are a reminder that spring is nearly here — and your wardrobe should start acting like it. The new collection is packed with pieces designed to make the most of the current transitional weather and approaching celebrations, from spring weddings and getaways to festival season.

From the new Icons Denim collection (which spans several categories beyond just jeans) to The Item spotlight (which highlights one signature style per week) and the curated Spring Getaway styles, there’s plenty of newness to explore. The newest Zara edit delivers real wardrobe mileage and versatility for the warmer months, so start shopping your favorite picks ahead to build your spring outfits.

Zara Dresses

Whether you’re shopping for late-night dancing or warm-weather vacations, Zara’s new dresses are ready to party in. Shoppers are especially looking to Zara for wedding guest dresses, and luckily there are tons of budget-friendly, romantic styles, like under-$100 slinky slip dresses and ruffled maxi dresses to choose from.

Zara Jeans & Denim

Zara is delivering on the denim trends we’re most excited to explore. Think: bedazzled jeans and unique denim accessories. The brand’s new Icons Denim collection has an ultra-elevated Western meets cool-girl city vibe, including patchwork denim jackets, denim-printed dresses, and even denim slingback heels that can be dressed up or down.

Zara Shoes

It’s time to slip into a new pair of shoes this season, so we’re eyeing Zara’s selection of footwear, including on-trend wedges and kitten heels perfect for showing off your spring pedicures, plus textured ballet flats and colorful cowboy boots for casual weekend outings.

Zara Pants & Skirts 

Zara’s latest bottoms deliver versatility with a sprinkle of drama, like voluminous silhouettes, XL pockets, and belted designs. Consider this week’s Item — the utilitarian, barrel-leg patchwork pants — or a midi skirt that can easily transition from day to night.

Zara Tops

Airy knits, lacy camisoles, and colorful button-downs are dominating Zara’s new arrivals and ready to round out your spring wardrobe. Layer up (perhaps with one of the jackets below!) while the weather is still cool. Then wear these tops on their own and let them be the focal point of your spring ‘fits.

Zara Bags

Sleek and functional, Zara’s new bag drop can be worn for weekend strolls, weddings, vacations, and much more. Look for trending handbag styles like woven leather, XL suede silhouettes, and one-strap “ladylike” designs. The many many basket and bucket bags are also a surefire sign that warm weather is approaching.

Zara Jackets

Layer up with outerwear that doesn’t detract from your outfit, but instead acts as the cherry on top. Funnel-neck coats were a big winter jacket trend, and the silhouette is sliding into the spring too, as we can see in Zara’s selection. Goth girl spring is also upon us, so if you’re looking for something edgier, you can find your new leather jacket at Zara.

Insiders Never Skip This Madewell Sale

A Spring Wedding Guest Dress For Every Dress Code

The Best 2026 Handbag Trends To Carry Around

The Revival Of The Wedge: The 2026 Way To Wear The Sculptural Shoe

MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 27: A guest wears black sunglasses, a black leather bag, black leather wedges and a red long sleeved turtle neck mini dress outside Sportmax show during the Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on February 27, 2026 in Milan, Italy.

The most coveted trend of the moment isn’t leather bomber jackets, sheer layers, or even suede sneakers—it’s nostalgia. From CBK-inspired tortoiseshell headbands to tiny shoulder bags, shoppers are gravitating toward sentimentality and retro charm.

Milan Fashion Week proved as much, with Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2026 collection leaning into vintage glamour and Fendi reawakening a love for old-school tailoring. And while the past is sometimes best left behind, era-defining pieces have the potential to reinvigorate our sense of style—much like wedges.

Originally popularized by Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo in the 1930s, embraced in the 1940s for wartime practicality, and adored in the 1970s, the wedge is a classic footwear choice for a reason. Today, it’s most closely associated with bold Y2K fashion, offering a playful wardrobe addition reminiscent of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

But the sculptural shoe doesn’t look the same as it did 26 years ago. While the throwback appeal remains, fresh touches like peep-toe cuts, PVC straps, and resin heels are revamping the silhouette for a contemporary era, proving archival pieces can feel effortlessly current. However, knowing how to style the footwear for 2026 is just as essential.  

MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 26: Gala Gonzalez wears black sunglasses, black leather wedges flip-flops, a brown leather bag, a beige gilet, a beige oversized jacket and beige bermuda shorts outside Max Mara show during the Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on February 26, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Valentina Frugiuele/Getty Images)

Already an It girl favorite, platform heels are being paired with clean-cut capris, oversized blazers, and wide-leg jeans. Tailored shorts and a simple tank make for an easy duo, while a chic maxi dress or knit blouse lets the shoes transition between occasions. A closed-toe variation is also brilliant for an outdoor spring wedding, while a laid-back espadrille is perfect for grabbing a bite at a neighborhood bistro. Best of all, each of these looks can be achieved with wedges available at every price point, from everyday brands to luxury labels alike.

Put a modern spin on the vintage style and peruse a lineup of the most in-demand wedges currently up for grabs—including spring-ready hues, moody suede, and posh details.

Merit Signature Lip Blush 

If you gravitate towards something between a lip balm and a matte lip stain, we present to you Merit’s new lip product, which Beauty Director Jacqueline Kilikita describes as a “sheer, matte lipstick with a moisturizing balm-like feel.” Several readers carted up this lippie from Merit’s website and Sephora throughout the month. 

Merit Signature Lip Blush, $, available at Merit

Agolde Rubik Jacket 

We’ve officially entered “goth girl spring” and that means leather jackets will be the unexpected go-to layer. And already, this Agolde style has garnered the attention of R29 readers. The cinched waist and peplum-like hem add a feminine flair to a typically boxy or stiff silhouette.  

Agolde Rubik Jacket, $, available at Shopbop

Prada Infusion de Santal Chai

With notes of cardamom, citrus, masala chai, milk, and sandalwood, this Prada fragrance has been vetted by Senior Beauty Writer Karina Hoshikawa as one of her top perfume picks of 2026. She says: “It lingers all day long, and dries down to a cozy, woody scent that has a nostalgic feel to it,” and readers clearly like the sound (and smell) of that. 

Prada 3.3oz Infusion de Santal Chai Eau de Parfum, $, available at Ulta

Mother The Reifler Jean 

Straight-leg and cigarette jeans have been declared a major 2026 denim trend, and readers are already taking that info and running with it. These ‘70s- and ‘80s-inspired Mother jeans — “with a straight leg with a bit of a kick” — were a top-performer for February. 

MOTHER The Reifler Jean, $, available at Mother

Summer Fridays Flushed Lip Stain 12HR Long-Lasting Lip Tint 

It’s clear that Jacqueline Kilikita’s glowing review of Summer Fridays’ new lip stains convinced our readers to cart some up too, because it was the top-purchased beauty product in February. Praised for its easy application, moisture, and long-lasting formula, this $22 stain-meets-tint-meets-liner is an easy yes. (The brand’s Essential Lip Kit was also a favorite.) 

Summer Fridays Flushed Lip Stain 12HR Long-Lasting Lip Tint, $, available at Sephora

Free People Quilted Carryall Bag 

Readers were shopping everything from matching sets to wedding guest dresses at Free People throughout the month, so much so that most of those styles have sold out. But one tried-and-true product that remains in stock is the Quilted Carryall bag, currently available in 16 colors. Shoppers likewise gravitated towards the Quilted Duffle Bag, available in spring-ready pink. 

Free People Quilted Carryall Bag, $, available at Free People

HigherDose Red Light Showerhead Filter 

In addition to being a personal favorite, this red-light showerhead was also a top-reader pick from our Valentine’s Day luxury gift guide. Whether it was to treat themselves or spoil a loved one, readers spent February investing in tools to upgrade their wellness routines and create an at-home spa-like environment.  

HigherDose Red Light Showerhead Filter, $, available at HigherDose

Le Labo Violette 30 Eau de Parfum 

Luxe fragrance brand Le Labo dropped a new perfume in February, described as: “Powdery violet, lush rose, all-encompassing incense, and heady patchouli make it a scent that demands attention, while delicate white tea and creamy cedarwood linger softly on the skin as the day goes on.” And if you run into any R29 readers on the street, you may just smell it in person.  

Le Labo 3.4 oz Violette 30 Eau de Parfum, $, available at Bloomingdale's

Quince Organic Turkish Waffle Robe 

Both a popular holiday gift and Valentine’s Day gift among R29 readers, Quince’s waffle robe has become a tried-and-true pick for lounging luxuriously and cozying up around the house. But when it came time to leave the house, many readers also carted up the brand’s 100% Australian Shearling Earmuffs for braving the cold in February. 

Quince Organic Turkish Waffle Robe, $, available at Quince

Medicube Zero Pore Pads 

After going viral on TikTok, Medicube caught our beauty director’s attention. She was the most excited to try the toner pads, and the exfoliating and hydration-soaked cotton rounds impressed her. And lucky for you, they’re even on sale during Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty deal event.  

Medicube Zero Pore Pad, $, available at Ulta

Lelo Sona 3 Cruise 

Lelo’s luxe sex toys were certainly a February favorite because of the brand’s month-long Valentine’s Day sale, but guess what? The popular Sona 3 Cruise vibe is still on sale for 25% off. The bestselling clitoral massager has several intensity levels and can be synced with the Lelo app for more modes and long-distance play. 

LELO Sona 3 Cruise, $, available at LELO

Suzanne Kalan 18k Fireworks Gold Diamond Double Band Ring 

Whether they were shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts or wedding proposals, it seems that several readers gravitated towards this unique $8k diamond band. This Fireworks style features “starburst-set baguette diamonds,” according to Shopbop, and makes for a stunning gift. 

Suzanne Kalan 18k Fireworks Gold Diamond Double Band Ring, $, available at Shopbop

The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion 

A product that looks and feels like a milky serum but is actually a moisturizer, and can both “quench dry patches and deliver hydration without a greasy feel” is exactly why Jacqueline Kilikita loves this new product from The Ordinary for combination skin. And from the looks of our shopping data, it seems that many readers wanted to experience the product for themselves too.  

The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion, $, available at Sephora

Branch Daily Chair 

Post-January-refresh-your-space season, readers continued to peruse our home office chairs roundup to upgrade their WFH setups, and this Branch adjustable rolling chair — with a 4.6-star review from over 1K shoppers — reigned supreme.  

Branch Daily Chair, $, available at Branch

Old Navy Mid-Rise Wow Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans 

Old Navy was consistently a crowd-pleaser from our best weekend sales roundup throughout the month. And from the wide-leg jeans to the Straight Pants and Vintage T-Shirt, these most-purchased products are all still in stock and on sale! 

Old Navy Mid-Rise Wow Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans, $, available at Old Navy

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid 

Following the wildly popular Charlotte Tilbury Flawless setting powder and setting spray, the brand has launched a Flawless concealer, and R29 editors (and readers) love it. It’s lightweight yet full-coverage, blurring, super hydrating, and comes in 34 shades.  

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer, $, available at Ulta

Cuyana Mini Heart Case 

This under-$100 leather case was a popular luxe Valentine’s Day gift this season. Cuyana’s top-tier quality and craftmanship makes the heart-shaped pouch a design that will last for many Valentine’s Days to come. And now, it can be purchased in five colorways. 

Cuyana Mini Heart Case, $, available at Cuyana

Bellesa AirVibe, $, available at Bellesa Boutique

Yves Saint Laurent Lash Latex Sculpting & Lengthening Mascara 

TikTok-Viral, editor-approved, and reader-purchased, this new YSL mascara needs to be in everyone’s makeup bags. “I let out an ‘ooh!’ when I swiped this on for the first time, because it really did cling to my lashes as promised,” says Jacqueline Kilikita, while Karina Hoshikawa adds: “It’s basically a lash lift in a tube." 

Yves Saint Laurent Lash Latex Sculpting & Lengthening Mascara, $, available at Sephora
