2026 isn't technically here yet, but my friend messaged me while holiday shopping to get insights into a few key items she should consider to make her wardrobe feel fresh for the new year. She's a big Zara fan, so I said I'd scroll through the site to send her a shopping list of relevant items that would make her closet feel "2026."
I focused on pieces that have forward design qualities and hit on key trends. Maximilism (re: faux fur!), cool preppy items, and bold silhouettes will all have huge moments in 2026, so there's certainly a mix of those trends in my list. I also included elevated basics that feel current. Keep scrolling to check out the finds I sent to my friend (the first seven on the list), along with a range of other great Zara items.
