When does the Zara January sale finish?

The Zara January sale will run throughout the whole month, with the label discounting items until they reach clearance. 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 January sale

If you’ve got any big ticket items on your list, such as a cashmere jumper, coat, or boots, you should prioritise these items. These pieces tend to sell out pretty quickly, followed by essentials like jeans, t-shirts and loungewear.

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.
