Shop Zara Fall 2011 In Your PJ's

Zara has already launched their e-commerce abroad and now it’s the US’s turn to shop the Spanish retailer’s selection while in their pajamas. Launching the site on Sept 7th of this year, just before Fashion’s Night Out, the US website will make pieces from Zara’s Fall 2011 collection available for purchase on their site. Included in the collection are ankle skimming leather-like Waxed Effect Trousers, a modish Two Toned Miniskirt, rust red Palazzo Trousers and a minimally embellished Studio Shirt made ready for purchase just in time to add to your list of updates for your fall wardrobe.

Spain, France, Germany, the UK, Italy and Portugal have enjoyed Zara online since last year and it’s about time for the US to get its turn. While enjoying growing popularity in the States, Zara stores are often crowded with customers scouring the racks for the newest additions. This popularity has only increased in as Kate Middleton was spotted wearing a Zara dress the very day after her wedding. So if you were faced with the choice of battling the fall retail rush in the stores for the last of the latest in your size or curling up to shop on the couch while drinking a hot cup of tea, which would you choose?

Falling for Zara

Most of the time, stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Zara can be very hit or miss. There are so many factors that go into what makes a great consumer friendly collection, from the materials used to the silhouettes that the designer creates. Fortunately for us, Zara’s November collection is a home run! Everything currently offered in the store is completely on point with this season’s most wearable trends. Not only that, but the materials used are soft, warm, and high quality, which isn’t always the case for such an affordable store. Nothing is worse than finding an item that looks good online, but feels scratchy or cheap in person. I’ve experienced this rather unfortunate situation far too many times, and I can tell you, with confidence, that you won’t experience even a hint of buyer’s remorse after purchasing any of these pieces. A few standout pieces from Zara’s November include cropped sweaters, silk blouses, corduroy shorts, and camel trousers. If you haven’t already done your holiday shopping or created your wish lists, I highly recommend that you add a few of these items on last minute. The best part of the collection is without a doubt the price range. All of the items featured in the image above are under $70 and available both in stores and online. Any piece on its own would make an incredible gift, whether it’s purchased for a friend or for yourself.
