I Did Damage at Zara, Mango, and J.Crew—These 31 Items Went in the "Need" Pile

When the end of the year rolls around, it's always a time for reflection. You can reflect on your accomplishments, your future goals, your travels, your relationships—and of course, your wardrobe. By now in 2023, it's clear which items you wore over and over again and which ones stayed on the hanger. But a necessary closet clean-out also works in tandem with a replenishment of items you'll actually wear.

At least, mine did. I spent the last week shopping in the new-arrivals sections at Zara, Mango, and J.Crew in order to source pieces that I could add into my outfit rotation after weeding out styles that needed to be let go. Heading into winter and early spring, I rounded up some toasty sweaters, scarves, and coats to keep warm, but transitional basics that will work for warmer temperatures weren't forgotten either. There are also minimalist accessories in the mix to go with any kind of outfit, whether you're dressing up for an upcoming NYE party or wearing something casual to run errands.

Follow my lead with 31 of the best new arrivals from Zara, Mango, and J.Crew, all of which can be found below. 

J.Crew

Red is the color of the moment, haven't you heard? 

Ukrainian brand Anna October and J. Crew teamed up on a very special collab featuring this pretty skirt and so much more. 

And if you're into the sequin skirt, here's a stunning layered sequin slip dress with a romantic sweetheart neckline. 

A single-breasted camel coat is the wardrobe hero your closet is missing. 

Throw on a pop of color with this fuchsia bag, but it's also available in black if you stick to dark hues. 

Can't get enough of metallics at the moment. 

This strapless ruched top is so sophisticated, especially when paired with a statement necklace. 

An insulating, long Barbour coat is absolutely a need for winter; plus, the contrast collar gives it a stylish touch. 

Zara

A black mini, coordinating vest, and black knee-high boots are a moment. 

Shop the matching Fitted Buttoned Vest ($50).

It's hard to find a perfectly oversize coat, but this one is it. 

These might not be capris, but longer silhouettes are definitely trending. 

Add a pop of red to your dark winter 'fit in the form of this cozy fringe scarf. 

This daring plunge midi is just what your New Year's Eve party needs. 

Never met an A-line skirt I didn't like. 

I love to let the waistband peek out to channel those Miu Miu runway vibes. 

The texture and gold accent on this are gorgeous. 

If turtlenecks feel too suffocating, try this high-collar sweater that still offers some room at the neck.

This hue will brighten up even the coldest of winter days. 

Add some texture to your going-out top collection with this sequin tank.
