I don't know if you're trying to dress like a European this winter, but I am perpetually attempting to trick people into thinking that I'm from another country on the other side of the world. It doesn't work that often—of the few new people I've met in the past year or so, only one or two has told me they thought I was eastern European smfh—but when it does, it feels so fucking good. I'm just trying to appropriate culture in a tasteful manner over here. If you're on the same wave, while also on a budget, Zara is here for you with their new Studio collection, which I think is fancy industry slang for "slightly higher quality and design." But that's neither here nor there. This is surprisingly fire shit. The belted coat and herringbone alpaca joints are joints you'd see in just about every expensive designer collection you're currently thirsting after, though I suppose that's kinda the entire point of Zara, right? The knits are perfect for people like myself who don't always see the point in investing hundreds of dollars in single cashmere sweater and there's even a dose or two of wild on trend velvet for the holidays. You can shop the collection now.
