You don't need to be a shopping editor to know that certain high-street stores do certain items best. Personally, I find Mango always has the strongest coats. Arket is where I automatically head to stock up on knitwear, and & Other Stories dresses are easily my favourite. As for Zara? While I could talk at length about its excellent shoe selection and could-be-designer arm candy, there's another piece for which the brand is known: blazers.

It's almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn't dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I'd worn them at school. (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it.) However, after I left high school and enrolled at art school, they served no purpose in my closet. That was until I landed my first magazine internship in London. Unlike my hometown, which, at the time, had no Zara to speak of, it felt as if there were a branch on every street corner. As such, during my four-week placement, my love of Zara only grew and grew, and subsequently, so did my blazer collection. 

For the purposes of this feature, I decided to count how many blazers I have in my wardrobe. In total? Thirteen. And how many of them are from Zara? Nine. This may sound excessive, but please bear in mind this collection is now 11 years in the making.

With the power to dress up my jeans or give even my fanciest frocks an effortless spin, barely a day goes by when I don't reach for a Zara blazer. From the perfectly tailored and the oversized to bouclé weaves and faux leather, my collection of Zara blazers is as versatile as the brand's current line-up. On my wish list, you'll find a grey pinstripe number and a khaki double-breasted option, but rest assured there are plenty more where those came from.

Scroll below to see and shop the best new-season Zara blazers, and in the meantime, I'll get started on forming a Zara blazer appreciation society.

A white blazer with matching trousers and a knit looks so chic. Maybe just avoid coffee the day you decide to wear it though...

I love the slouchy fit and very faint pinstripe pattern on this blazer.

This deep camel shade might not be the first colour on your agenda, but pair it with grey and you've got yourself a winning combo.

A textured blazer with relaxed denim is my favourite duo.

Khaki looks so chic with black or grey denim.

The lapels on this style make it a particularly good choice for evenings out.

I love the contrasting stitching on this double-breasted iteration.

Gold buttons instantly elevate any jacket.

I like the entire styling of this blazer look. 

This blazer plus the matching trousers = a polished office look that will take you from desk to dinner.

Swap in trainers or loafers if you want to dress this look down a tad.

I love the oversized buttons and soft grey hue on this style.

A red blazer will instantly boost your confidence.

Who said blazers need to go past your waist? This cropped version is so Parisian.

Yes, I will be copying this entire look tomorrow.

Pink works with so may other shades, from blacks and greys to whites and pastels. 

Zara really is upping the ante with its textured blazer offering. The green detail here really adds something special.

Obsessed with Emily in Paris? Us too. This purple, cropped blazer is just the thing we need to help achieve the look.
