Zara's 2017 New Year's Sale Is Amazing

In my family, post-holiday sales could be an even bigger event than holidays themselves. In a family with three kids, post-holidays meant snagging everything we needed for the upcoming year at super deep discounts. Zara seems to be on board with that, because its New Year's Day deals are unbelievable.

Zara is a go-to for statement pieces, and also a go-to for offering incredible deals every time the holidays roll around. The brand often doesn't release info about what products it's planning to discount, so shoppers usually get to unwrap another present on days like today. But this year, Zara offered a preview, and we just can't find it in ourselves to be disappointed at not being surprised, because everything is on sale.

That's right. The only items not marked down are those in Zara's brand-new Spring/Summer 2017 collection. Everything else on the site and in stores is discounted. That means you have the chance to snag pieces from Zara's gorgeous 2016 collections at 30 percent, 40 percent, and in some cases even half off. Zara is also offering free shipping on orders over $50, as well as free returns if your new pieces don't work out.

These are some of the best items up for deeply discounted grabs. And trust me, if you're still nursing a hangover from any New Year's Eve festivities. The numbers you're about to see are not your eyes playing tricks on you: These sales are really that good.
