What's the best way to buy exact copies of outfits I find on the internet?
I've been trying to buy exact copies of outfits. For example, just cloning this: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8TAzhcpdZ0/?img_index=2.
The problem is, even when I find the items, they're out of stock. E.g, the shirt: https://www.zara.com/us/en/linen---viscose-shirt-p02675118.html isn't available in small.
Do y'all have any recommendations on how I can with the items being out of stock? Does Zara usually restock items?

This is going to be tricky for the exact reason that you're finding - unless you're seeing people wearing current-season stuff from places that have it still in stock then recreating with the exact items is rarely gonna work
What I might suggest is using Google lens on the specific items which should then show you a bunch of similar looking options from hopefully stores that have it in stock
Zara does restock
Or you might have luck in some cases by searching for the items on ebay / grailed / depop incase someone is reselling one
Not a complete match but if you search blue linen camp collar shirt you might get something similar

@tun🌻 How do seasons work in Zara? From Googling, Spring/Summer is a season. Does that mean, all the new styles for the first half of the year generally come out in the spring?
Generally speaking that's what designers will do, i.e. release one Spring / Summer collection and one Autumn / Winter collection per year, but being "fast fashion" I'm pretty sure Zara has new items coming out every week. And then what they choose to continue and or restock will just be based around popularity and sales data
But yeah they will definitely stock a lot more summer vibe items at the start of that season, and vice versa
