So, here I am a new Zara customer. I've of course heard of the brand; but my interest with their store only came back when my friend told me about their perfume dupe of the YSL Black Opium.
I downloaded their app on my tablet,
I narrowed down to the basics that I needed to buy,
and these are the items I chose to check out with:
These are simple and basic cotton long sleeve shirts; I imagined being perfect for my son; they come in 3 different colours and the total came to be just under $20.
(Online shopping fitment will surely be the death of me.) He's going to be 4 next month, but probably would fit better in the 3/4 size, as of right now, but the 4/5 will likely just be grown into during the next few months.
Comparable quality to Target brand kids' clothing.
Good for: comfy basics/ lounging, sleepwear
AS FOR quality and value of these shirts //

They are truly basic. Nothing special. I know. What could I be expecting with buying these; but for the price and quality, the pack of 3 would make more sense ranging from $10-(max)$15. Brand name does nothing for me here.
They're soft due to them being cotton-made, but definitely are thin in fabric. I'm used to buying kids' clothing from Target and these are probably a half point better than the Target brands; I'd rather pay what Target asks for, for basically the same quality.
They also wrinkle easily- throw dryer sheets in with them or try and take them out quickly once they are done in your dryer.
(Or silly gigi, just get an iron)
I purchased these in the colour: ANTHRACITE GREY, which are basically black.
4/5 size are big on him, by length and on the waist.
Pockets are usable, but the waist drawstring is not.
It also notes on the site not to tumble dry, and I'm sorry, but what mum has the time to not tumble dry for the pace of kids!?

Super soft, but the price is high for what they are.. their products are just too close to the Target brand. The pockets are made from a very thin and I'm guessing they won't last a few washes (esp. if I shouldnt be tumble drying them) + the waist drawstring doesn't even work, it's just there for looks 😑
3. Henley shirt
It's a perfect plain long sleeve. I got it in the color Ecru: which is definitely dangerous getting for a messy toddler, but I want to order one in another color: in Navy Blue.
This fitting is larger than the basic shirts, both in size 4-5 years, but this one is longer. He will definitely get some time usage worn from this one.
Even though the price is under $10, it's quality is on point! Definitely 100% worth grabbing one for your child if you're looking for a basics; yet the buttons add dimension to the shirt, rather than be as basic, as basic can be.

Super soft and comfortable for your little. The colour range varies but keep the tones earthy. Quality for the price you are paying.
For myself
x Cropped Jacket:
I love light cardigans and I didn't own any! Until now . .. .
+ for $10?
A price you can't let go
ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
I ordered it in my usual XS size; definitely should have sized up seeing how it fit on the model.
- it's short on my arm length and too small if I were to button it up fully -
I do like the cropped style of the cardigan though:
One thing I have noticed:
I only washed and dried it once + it's already having slight fray..
So yes, being $10 is necessary, don't spend anymore on this quality!

Super soft, but the thing is already fraying...
So if you are paying the $10 expect that,
I wouldn't recommend spending the original price at $20.
(¬_¬) my final thoughts on Zara:
I found one actually good article of clothing from my entire order.
Like I mentioned, me being a new Zara customer,
I had no expectation of how my order would go.
But since I only found one piece I did like overall,
I'll probably skip on purchasing from here again:
(at least until I can go in store and see the clothing first)
Oh also,
the shipping process failed to deliver to me after a 4/5 days after the expected delivery date, but when it finally delivered - the box wasn't tapes shut and looked stepped on lol
Hm was confusing, but that's the downside of online ordering imo
Thank You Subscribers!
