Yes, Zara has sales, and they're some of the most anticipated events in the fashion world. The brand is best known for its two massive seasonal sales - one in the summer and one right after Christmas - but you can also find discounts during major shopping holidays like Black Friday.

These are Zara's main events. The two biggest sales happen semi-annually and offer the deepest discounts on the widest variety of apparel, shoes, and accessories.
Discounts during these sales often start around 20-30% off and increase as the sale goes on, sometimes reaching 50% off or more on older stock. The best items sell out fast, so shopping early is key.
Zara actively participates in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping weekend. You can typically expect site-wide discounts of 20-30% off many items. This sale usually runs for a few days, giving you a great chance to grab items from the current fall/winter collection before the big end-of-season clearance begins.
Around major holidays like Valentine's Day or even during back-to-school season, Zara may offer smaller, more targeted promotions. These are less predictable than the big seasonal sales but can offer discounts of 15-25% on select categories.
While not a full-blown "sale" section, Zara's website often features a "Special Prices" area where you can find select items marked down year-round. This is a great place to check for random finds without waiting for a major sale event.
The best and most reliable place to shop is directly on Zara's website. During major sales, a prominent sale banner will appear on the homepage. You can also directly visit the "Sale" or "Special Prices" category in the main menu.
The Zara app is a must-have for serious shoppers. App users often get early access to sales, sometimes hours before the deals go live on the website. Be sure to enable push notifications so you get an alert the moment the sale begins.
Subscribing to Zara's email newsletter is another way to get a jump on sales. They typically send out an announcement email to subscribers giving them a heads-up or sometimes even early access to shop the deals online.
All of the major sales also happen in Zara's physical retail stores. The stock and discounts can sometimes vary slightly from what's available online. For year-round deals, check a Zara Outlet store if you have one nearby, as they offer past-season items at markdowns of up to 70% off.
The most popular items and common sizes sell out within the first few hours of a sale. Shop as soon as the sale starts to get the items you really want. For extra-deep discounts on a budget, check back a couple of weeks into the sale when new markdowns have been applied to the remaining inventory.
Before a sale begins, add your favorite full-price items to your wishlist on the Zara app or website. When the sale goes live, you can easily go to your wishlist and see which items are on sale, allowing you to add them to your cart without having to search the entire site.
Mark your calendar for late June and late December. While the exact dates vary, Zara sales are fairly predictable. Following fan accounts on social media can also provide insider tips on exact launch times.
During the latter part of a clearance event, some items may be marked as "Final Sale." These items are usually heavily discounted and cannot be returned or exchanged, so be sure you're happy with your choice and size before buying.
Zara rarely, if ever, uses third-party coupon codes. Be cautious of websites promising big discounts with a special code. Legitimate sales and promotions will always be advertised directly on Zara's official website, app, and email newsletter.
