Zara’a Latest Collection Is A Major Throwback

It’s not a secret that fashion often recycles certain trends. Every few years or so, the industry falls in love with throwback styles, and brings some retro vibes to current trends. One has only to look up headlines like “90s nostalgia” and the “70s are back” to realize how true this has been for recent trends.

When it comes to recent trends, who better to look to than Zara? The fast-fashion giant is a master of taking the newest crazes and introducing them to wider audiences. The Spanish retailer is no stranger to releasing some vintage-inspired pieces every now and then. However, their newest collection draws inspiration from 4 different decades; the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s. Below are some examples:

The 1960s:

This shift dress is nothing if not mod inspired. If you want to go full-on mod, it could be paired with some white ankle boots. However, it could also be dressed up with some strappy heels. ($39.90)

These cat-eye sunglasses look like they belong in a French new wave film. In this tortoise shell shade, they go with just about anything. ($25.90)

These paisley print pants are serving up some major hippie vibes. They might look especially good with an over-sized white button-down tied just above the waist. ($49.90)

The 1970s:

This metallic thread dress will have anyone looking like a disco queen. They look especially 70s with these white go-go boots. ($99.90)

This relaxed fit blazer has bell sleeves and is trimmed with black feathers. It would look best with strappy heels. ($49.90)

This satin jumpsuit comes in an earthy green tone. It is perfectly reminiscent of the strong neutrals of the decade. ($69.90)

The 1980s:

The multi-colored rhinestone earrings are loud, colorful, and whimsical. They’re a perfect throwback to the 1980s. ($25.90)

This Puffy Sleeved Dress is structured, particularly around the arms and shoulders. It is definitely channeling the famous 80s power suit. ($129)

This zebra print shirt and pants duo is wild and loud enough to be mistaken for an actual vintage piece. Particularly with the big bow. ($69.90)

The 1990s:

These slingback ballet kitten-heels are the perfect throwback to the classic 90s trend. ($49.90)

This draped green over-coat comes in an olive green shade and is super grungy. ($45.97)
