Zara’s new-arrival Thursdays have brought us what we could call the favorites of spring. The brand led by Marta Ortega has updated its collection for the new season and has brought pieces that are not only loved for being original and sophisticated, but also for having that versatile and wearable edge that makes the purchase even more worthwhile.
However, taking into account the price increases we have been experiencing in recent months, we have set ourselves the goal of selecting purchases that do not exceed 30 euros. If you are thinking about renewing your wardrobe and don’t want to spend too much, here is a selection of those favorite pieces, on-trend and that you won’t stop wearing over the coming weeks at an affordable average price that we are confident will convince you that it is a smart and safe purchase.
Baggy Jeans Trend
The first option is a pair of baggy pants. It is the season of loose and rounded cuts, and in your wardrobe you cannot be without jeans of this style. Zara’s proposals are endless, but if you are looking for something springlike and that you can wear almost daily, we recommend choosing a pair in a pale white color. It pairs with absolutely everything and has that fresher touch for the season when temperatures start to rise. This mid-rise silhouette, with the twisted seam detail that enhances the rounded effect of the leg, seems ideal to us. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 5762/040/251).
Gingham Check Skirt
The second idea is this gingham check skirt that has just arrived in-store. It seems that draping and knotting return with a lot of force this season. This detail, which helps the garment flatter a lot and fit perfectly to the figure, is a real hit and, added to the black-and-white check print, it couldn’t be more spring-like. We love it for daily wear even with sneakers and a basic T-shirt, but you can also give it a more elegant touch by elevating it with a blouse and a heeled sandal. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 4333/043/084).
Elegant Top
In your wardrobe of basics there can never be a top that turns any styling into an elegant outfit you can wear for a special event like a dinner. This is the case with this satin model in a raw color with an original fluid design, short open sleeves and a length that surpasses the hip. It is a piece with a lot of movement and very elegant that you can pair perfectly with a pair of jeans and achieve a wow look that everyone will be asking you about. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 2731/047/7129).
Pareo-style Trousers
Speaking of special trousers, the new Zara collection has arrived with a pareo-style pant that is ideal for when you don’t know what to wear and need to feel comfortable yet with a sophisticated touch. It features the crisscross front with pleats, which couldn’t be more original, and it will only need a white T-shirt to complete a perfect look. It is also available in olive, a super-trendy shade this spring. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 8372/420/515).
Polka-Dot Dress
Among the most special and different dresses that have arrived in Zara’s new collection is this short polka-dot design. Yes, this print is also one of the favorites of the season and in 2026 it is coming on strong. It’s also good to have in the wardrobe a more feminine piece, and this super original model with a square neckline and the bow detail that you can place in different ways delighted us. Although, if you don’t like polka dots, you should know that it is available in solid black for those who prefer a timeless basic. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 2213/777/070).
Romantic Blouse
Another must-have piece that has slipped into our Zara budget-friendly shopping is a chocolate brown blouse that will make your everyday looks look more elegant and stylish. It is a semi-transparent design with puffed sleeves, a V-neckline, and a vertical ruffle detail that adds movement and texture to the garment. Both its color and design seem perfect to us, and it is a piece that will bring a romantic touch to your spring outfits. Price: 22.95 euros (Ref. 3666/052/700).
Suede Jacket
Lastly, a suede-effect jacket is a must-have in your wardrobe. For this in-between season, bombers and these models are the favorites and, of course, Zara offers endless options. And yes, among them there is also a low-cost design, like this short one with a front button closure and a lapel neck that we loved. Price: 29.95 euros (Ref. 3046/033/704).
