What better way to jump-start 2025 than shopping a fresh wardrobe update that leans into winter's best trends? Winter offers so many ways to play with fashion, including layering, outerwear, and denim. Trends that are sticking are ranging from aesthetics like modern elegance and effortless bohemian to technical and utilitarian fabrics to silhouettes like funnel necks and dramatic waists, and it's confirmed that Zara didn't miss one.
Zara is known for its ability to translate runway trends into wearable pieces without the runway price tags, and its latest styles do just that. Below, find runway-inspired trends that will immediately upgrade your winter looks for the New Year.
Technical Touches
Utilitarian materials combined with elevated silhouettes make a case for the perfect outerwear. Waxed, rubberized, and water-repellent fabrics are at the forefront of this trend. When combined with sleek and classic sportswear shapes, these technical pieces are the quintessential example of functional fashion.
Accessory Forward
There isn't much that can level up your look quicker than a statement accessory—think animal print bags, unexpected jewelry, and on-trend scarves. Whatever it is, pick a playful piece to add to your winter closet.
Big Boho Energy
The easygoing, '70s-inspired trend found a resurgence in Chemena Kamali's debut fall/winter 2024 show for Chloé. Peasant blouses, fringed accessories, and statement belts were some of the hero pieces that have also trickled down to the mass market.
Absolute Elegance
Smart, elegant dressing has been endorsed by fashion houses such as Prada and Alaïa. This aesthetic includes timeless tailored pieces and glamorous accessories. Stock up on refined suiting, sensible heels, and luxe satins.
Shifting Silhouettes
Every season, it's exciting to see what imaginative shapes designers have brought to the runways. The manipulation of omnipresent pieces makes them feel fresh yet still attainable. This season, cigarette pants are kept lean and straight, asymmetric hems freshen up easy tops, and capes and scarves will continue to dominate our outerwear.
