This is what we want from the America Today x Zara Goedemans collection
Yes, who doesn't know her: Zara Goedemans. The influencer has been stealing the show for a while now (let's say years) with her fashion and fun personality. After many get-ready-with-me videos and thousands of questions about where all her clothes come from, it's time for ‘Zaar’ to take the next step: a clothing line of her own. Right in the heart of autumn, she is launching a collection together with America Today. And those items? They are fantastic. This screams autumn. Are you curious about what you can score? Then you need to scroll further, because we have gathered our favorites for you. This way, you are ready for the sale on November sixth.

In short: who is Zara Goedemans?
Okay, if you've been living under a rock, let me explain it to you. Zara started as a DJ on TikTok. There, she stole everyone's attention with her curly hair and cool street style clothing. Everything changed when she unexpectedly became pregnant. She immersed herself in her faith and began to reflect on her life. She realized she wasn't taking good care of herself: she had been smoking since she was fourteen, eating poorly, drinking a lot, and hardly moving. She realized that she was trying to numb her problems (suicidal thoughts, depression, and childhood traumas). This had to change. Especially with a baby on the way.
The urge to change manifested itself in a new lifestyle: one with healthy eating, exercising, and a new look. One with lots of light pink, knitted sweaters, bows, short skirts, and lace. The peace she finally found is reflected in all the soft fabrics and colors she has worn since then. That may sound a bit airy-fairy, but for Zara, it really feels that way. She is now one of the biggest it-girls of the moment, with 441 thousand Instagram and 1.2 million TikTok followers. In the meantime, she is brand ambassador for Gisou and regularly collaborates with H&M, Lash Babe, and various other brands. To that list, she can now add a new milestone: her own co-designed collection.
The collection is as preppy as Zara
It won't surprise you: this collection is über-preppy. From tennis skirts to knitted oversized sweaters – if your Pinterest board were a clothing line, it would be this one. It literally looks like Zara's Instagram page, so this is truly her taste. The dark shades and thick fabrics are everything I want to wear this autumn. Are you super curious about what we absolutely want to grab? Well, this is it:
Kylie ZG Sweater (€69,99)
Is there an autumn season that goes by without us all wanting to have the well-known off-white Rory Gilmore jumper? No. Really not. And this one? This is just an exact copy; with that color, crocheted fabric, and oversized look. It is made of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, so you will definitely get that silky soft feeling. I can already see myself walking in this sweater with a brown leather jacket and those long pants that you just don't want to drag on the ground. Not so handy with those puddles, but it's fun. We go for the look, not for convenience, right? This sweater is at the top of my list. Richmond ZG Jeans (€79,00) If there's one thing I'm still looking for, it's a dark blue jeans. A navy color that fits perfectly with these moody days. I have now found it. And no, not one of those wide models. This is a good straight leg: a model that always stays good. Now and in ten years. And this one will last that long because it is made of 100% cotton. No polyester or anything. Just good fabrics. Twenty percent of the cotton is even recycled, so you're also being sustainable. And people... that little flag on the back is just cute, right? Exactly.
Lisa longsleeve ZG (€32,99)
This year, there is something we are all wearing: white longsleeves. Actually, this is a top that comes back every year, but I personally see it everywhere now. And that makes sense because you can combine it with everything: with blazers, leather jackets, under cardigans, or with a skirt. Plus tights, then. This one is white with a lovely print. And bonus: it is made of 100% cotton. So you won't be sweating in a crowded, warm train in the afternoon because it suddenly gets warmer than that cold morning. Because this sweats so much less than a tight viscose top that fits so closely around your armpits that it feels like you have two little saunas under your arms.
Riley ZG Skirt (€45,99)
You can never go wrong with a tennis skirt. I am already thinking of dozens of outfits in my head with this pleated skirt. With a white top and my brown checkered blazer. Or with my navy Tommy Hilfiger sweater. Mmm... Well, let me keep fantasizing, then you can grab this one already. Right under my nose.
Detroit jeans ZG (€99,90)
"Welcome back Rachel Green in a dungaree," is what I thought when I saw this item. A dungaree is so simple and yet very versatile. Wear it over a sweater, a T-shirt, a hoodie – it can all be done. With these dungarees, you make a statement that you wouldn't expect, because who expects a dungaree? In autumn? Not many people, so they will find you very original.
Kirsten Sweater ZG (€59,99)
“In this annoying weather, you probably want something to wear that doesn't make you overheat quickly. Something you can take off when you get warm, and put on when suddenly a downpour comes from the sky. A hoodie with a zipper is a good option for that, but they are often super oversized or actually so ugly that your dad would want to walk around in it. That is about to change because this knitted hoodie is so cleverly cut that it almost looks like you don't have hips anymore. It snatches you up nicely. Because you can also open the zipper from the bottom, you can show as much skin as you want. Can't get enough? Then you should go to the launch party,Yes, you can just go there. No fancy party with A-list influencers or marketing companies: you as a regular person can just join this event. Wednesday evening between 19:30 and 20:30 is the official launch party of the collection. It takes place in the America Today store at Kalverstraat 224 in Amsterdam. Enjoy a nice drink, dance to music from the live DJ, and even get the chance to meet Zara briefly.
Be ready for Thursday because this? It's going to sell out quickly. Trust me.
