I’ll let you in on a little secret: I never heard of Zara before moving to New York City (small town probs). Nowadays I’ll browse through the store’s latest fashions, but I rarely buy anything. Why? I know where to shop online to get the Zara look for less money and similar quality — especially when it comes to sweaters.
Of course, now is the time to sweater shop before the weather turns frigid. If you’re after the trendiest, Zara-esque styles, keep reading for our top picks. Happy shopping!
