11 New Arrivals From Zara to Shop (and Gift!) This December

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

It likely comes as no surprise that our team of shopping experts spends quite a bit of time, well, shopping. On any given day, you can find at least one of our editors scouring the internet for the best deals, reviewing trendy new products, and dedicating so much time on the web pages of our favorite retailers that we frankly can't help buy a new item or two for ourselves. (We'll admit: it's a dangerous game.) While we don't like to play favorites, Zara is usually one of our go-to fashion brands that we can always seem to rely on for curing even the worst shopping woes — regardless of the season or current trends. We can spend hours perusing through Zara's site, coveting everything from sparkly evening shoes and oversize bags to bulky winter coats and so much more.

Fortunately, Zara is also among the many retailers that debuts a slew of new styles at the beginning of each month — quite conveniently in its "New Arrivals" section — so we know exactly where to start our monthly spree and scoop up the freshest styles before they sell out. (And trust us, they always manage to sell out.) In honor of the new month, we've curated a guide for the best new arrivals to shop (or gift) from Zara this December. Whether you're in the market for a swanky party dress for your next family gathering, a classic clutch to round out your stock of winter bags, or a dainty accessory to gift to the fashion-lover in your life, you're sure to find it at Zara this season. Shop our selects below!
