Whilst some rely on the equinox to declare the arrival of autumn, the fast-moving shifts between bright sunshine and soft rain have kick-started my autumn wardrobe reset. The shift in weather has prompted our wardrobes to shift into the new season, and confirmed that the one item we need to think about first is a light jacket. As a key element for the coming season, it can be hard to decide where to start when searching for the one, but that's where Zara comes in. This season, the brand has honed in on 5 jacket trends that will not only bring a chic edge to any look, but also stand the test of time.
As a brand, Zara is known to put its best foot forward every season, but I find myself most impressed in the cooler months. Along with an excellent selection of knitwear, the high street brand has a way of creating expensive-looking jackets that have both a timeless and contemporary feel to them, and often kickstarts the new season with a viral buy (or two).
For autumn 2025, Zara has put emphasis on the most classic and versatile jacket trends. Every autumn, we note the textural updates that mark the shift from warm weather into cool in the form of suede, leather and denim, and this season the brand has a variety of sleek styles in all of these key fabrics. Whether you're looking for a more structured blazer to bring polish to your looks, or want something a little soft and oversized that will be a comfortable go-to over the coming months, each comes with a timeless colourway and sweet design details to ensure an elevated look.
As a brand known for selling out its best styles in record time, let's get straight into it. Keep scrolling to shop the 5 best jacket trends at Zara right now.
