Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

This embellished, emerald green shoulder bag is a perfect buy for accessory lovers. The metal studded bag trend is huge at the moment, and while many designers are touting pricey options, Zara’s version is currently at an affordable £13.99.

A pair of barrel jeans are a must-have in any denim lover’s wardrobe. The design comes in three colour options — light and dark blue, and a true black. Thanks to Zara’s special prices discount, all colours of the jeans are less than £20, and come in sizes XS to XXL. We’d dress a pair down with a pair of chunky black boots and an oversized knit for a Twixmas walk, or glam them up with strappy heels and a glitzy blouse.

Plus, there’s a removable inner bag and buckle fastening to keep valuables secure. The perfect tote for the office commute, there’s plenty of room for your laptop, book, umbrella and more. Owing to the black finish, it will go with just about every look.
Zara poplin shirt: Was £27.99, now £10.79, Zara.com
A striped poplin shirt is a must-have, and I can't get enough of this bubblegum pink. With baby blue stripes, this may be more of a summer piece than a winter staple, but for just £17.99, now is the time to buy yours before they sell out.
Zara Basic blazer: Was £59.99, now £21.59, Zara.com
You can’t go wrong with a blazer and Zara has the goods with this basic boxy style. A time-honoured classic that goes with absolutely everything, this khaki iteration is perfect for layering and will see you well into spring in style.
Zara beaded knit cardigan: Was £35.99, now £25.19, Zara.com
If you’re looking to add a little sparkle to your wardrobe but full sequins aren’t your thing, look no further. This soft navy cardigan features chrome silver trim around the neck for a little interest. In navy with ribbed trim and cuffed sleeves, it’s now reduced by 30 per cent in the Boxing Day sales – plus, there’s still time to shop before New Year’s Eve.
When does the Zara Boxing Day sale finish?
The timeline of the sale event seems to change year on year, but typically, the Zara Boxing Day sale will run until 31 December, and then the January sales will take over — discounting items until they reach clearance, throughout January. If you’re looking to buy a particular piece or see something you love in your size, our advice would be to snap it up quickly, as the sales tend to sell out of all the best bits.
Tips for shopping the Zara Boxing Day sale
If you’ve got any big ticket items on your list, such as a cashmere jumper, coat, or sparkly number for your new years eve party, you should be ready to shop online on Christmas Day or early on Boxing Day morning. These pieces tend to sell out pretty quickly, followed by essentials like jeans, t-shirts and loungewear.
Right now, Zara will be busy deciding what pieces are going to be discounted, but for those of us outside of the inner circle, knowing what will drop in price come Christmas Day is anyone’s guess. So if there’s something you’ve fallen head over heels for, don’t wait until the sale starts to order. If you’re ordering pre-Christmas but don’t need the item until the new year, you could keep an eye on the website, and if your selects make their way into the sale, return your original purchase.
I’d also recommend creating an account and then a wish list on the Zara app so that when the sale goes live, you can check the prices straight away, and move them over to your basket.
