I’m a Senior Shopping Editor—I Highly Recommend Recreating This Layered Zara Outfit to Look Cool

There's no denying the power behind the way that the team at Zara styles every single one of the brand's pieces. The model shots not only inspire future outfit ideas but also serve as a step-by-step guide on how to look cool regardless of the season. That's exactly what came to mind when I scrolled to this layered outfit in the new arrivals section—I immediately saved it in my Pinterest folder where I keep outfit ideas that are just begging to be recreated.

The casual-cool denim look is a winner in my eyes for a few reasons: it's super easy to pull off, it's classic yet it incorporates a few of the latest trends (layered details, relaxed jeans, sweaters tied around the waist, and brown sneakers), plus it's affordable with every piece coming in at under $100. Keep scrolling to shop the cool Zara look, plus some other standout pieces that recently landed on the site that are perfect for 2026 and beyond.

The Outfit

Taupe Sweater + Sheer White Long-Sleeve Tee + Red Sweater Tied Around the Waist + Relaxed Jeans + Brown Sneakers

As I mentioned, this outfit is cool and effortless, not to mention comfortable. I love adding in a bolder red pick with neutrals, so it's a win in the color department as well. I recommend completing the look with a brown suede tote bag.
