    Even though I spend most of my days in the office, I still struggle to create a chic winter work look. Work-ready wardrobes can feel complicated because they need to reflect your personal style while still feeling professional. That’s why I’m turning to Zara’s new-in section. The brand has just debuted a range of stylish pieces I’ll feel good about wearing around a team of fashion insiders. But because the selection is downright massive, I pulled together a tight edit of the need-to-buy items you can wear right now.

    My capsule wardrobe picks include oversized blazers, wide-leg trousers, dark denim, and other layer-able basics like tees, button-down tops, and more. Consider this the perfect time to give your rotation a much-needed refresh. Winter weather is here to stay for another few months, so it’s a great time for something new.

    Cotton Modal Top

    Cotton Modal Top
    $13 AT ZARA

    This under-$15 top is the epitome of an elevated basic. The higher neckline will layer well underneath your favorite sweaters and jackets.

    Tailored Double Breasted Blazer

    Tailored Double Breasted Blazer
    $90 AT ZARA

    If you do need a new black blazer, consider this one with nautical-themed gold buttons.

    Zw Collection Wool Tube Dress

    Zw Collection Wool Tube Dress
    $109 AT ZARA

    Meet your new favorite work dress—it's easy to style and chic.

    Fitted Wool Blend Jacket Zw Collection

    Fitted Wool Blend Jacket Zw Collection
    $159 AT ZARA

    I have a few black jackets in my collection already, so this checkered one caught my eye.

    Zw Collection Pleated Wool Blend Pants

    Zw Collection Pleated Wool Blend Pants
    $109 AT ZARA

    The same idea goes for black trousers. I'm swapping them out for this gray pair.

    Zw Collection Wide Leg Low Rise Jeans

    Zw Collection Wide Leg Low Rise Jeans
    $69 AT ZARA

    If your office allows you to wear jeans, consider this pair. The almost-black wash and wide leg makes them look like a pair of your typical work pants.

    Straight Leg Corduroy Pants Zw Collection

    Straight Leg Corduroy Pants Zw Collection
    $90 AT ZARA

    Experimenting with thicker fabrics like corduroy is an easy way to add some new texture to your style.

    Tailored Vest Top

    Tailored Vest Top
    $50 AT ZARA

    Style this vest over a turtleneck now and wear it on its own come spring.

    Gold Button Satin Effect Shirt

    Gold Button Satin Effect Shirt
    $46 AT ZARA

    You probably have enough basic button-downs. The silver buttons on this add something special to your lineup.

    Toggle Nylon Skirt

    Toggle Nylon Skirt
    $46 AT ZARA

    Make the bubble skirt trend work for you (and your office) by choosing this nylon midi-length version.

    Checkered Midi Skirt Zw Collection

    Checkered Midi Skirt
    $90 AT ZARA

    Plaid is a major spring trend (even though it's typically popular in the fall). This midi skirt is an easy way to incorporate the look into your closet.

    Midi Skirt With Belt

    Midi Skirt With Belt
    $60 AT ZARA

    No need to buy an extra belt—this skirt comes adorned with one.

    Heeled Strappy Pumps

    Heeled Strappy Pumps
    $70 AT ZARA

    T-strap heels are so timeless. The lower height on this option is great for all-day wear.

    Stretch Knit Skater Dress With Belt

    Stretch Knit Skater Dress With Belt
    $46 AT ZARA

    I'm not normally a fan of color, but I love this dark green dress. It's like the winterized version of summer's Brat Green look.

    Flat Strap Shoes

    Flat Strap Shoes
    $50 AT ZARA

    If you're more of a ballet flats person, consider this pair.

    Wide Shaft Split Leather Ankle Boots

    Wide Shaft Split Leather Ankle Boots
    $129 AT ZARA

    Kitten-heeled boots are my secret to making any outfit feel just a touch more elevated—pun intended.

    Tote Bag

    Tote Bag
    $50 AT ZARA

    Swap your usual laptop bag for this chic $50 version.

    Basic V-Neck Knit Sweater

    Basic V-Neck Knit Sweater
    $50 AT ZARA

    I'm a big fan of wearing black and navy together (I know, controversial). This thicker knit looks so cozy.

    Golden Button Knit Cardigan

    Golden Button Knit Cardigan
    $50 AT ZARA

    How fancy-feeling is this $50 cardigan?

    Multi-Position Waist Pants

    Multi-Position Waist Pants
    $70 AT ZARA

    I've been shopping for a lot of red pieces lately, and I low how they look with mocha mousse-colored trousers like this pair.

    Clasp Combination Dress

    Clasp Combination Dress
    $50 AT ZARA

    This two-tone dress will make you look like you put a ton of effort into your outfit.

    Oversized Striped Shirt

    Oversized Striped Shirt
    $48 AT ZARA

    I have a striped shirt similar to this one and I wear it whenever I want to add a bit of interest to my outfits.
