The Expensive-Looking Trend Zara Is Backing for Spring

Suede is everywhere right now. Just one scroll of Instagram or your favorite retailer, and you'll see the sumptuous fabric on shoes, bags, and jackets galore. You can't escape it. And why would you want to? Not only does the luxurious texture ooze an effortless sophistication, but this season, suede takes on a new rhythm. It feels bold, cool, and contemporary and will undeniably elevate your outfit in an instant.
While there are plenty of designer offerings to ogle over, for a slightly more affordable take on the trend, Zara has us covered. In fact, Zara is 100% backing the trend for spring with genuine and faux iterations. Its selection of shoes, blazers, jackets, and bags is impeccable. My personal favorites? The 100% suede jacket, the perfect hybrid of a barn jacket and suede bomber (which I have a feeling won't be available for too much longer), and the suede sneakers, a massive trend for spring 2025 and a score at just $50. You can scoop up these as well as plenty of other expensive-looking suede pieces from Zara below, as I rounded up my favorite pieces of the season. Because when Zara backs up a trend this much, we listen!
Jackets
Fellow editor @anna_laplaca can vouch for the quality and chic factor of this jacket.
There's something about the cropped fit and higher button placement that gives this a '60s feel.
Shoes
Suede sneakers are trending hard right now—and these are already WWW best sellers.
Bags
Soft and slouchy suede bags are a celeb favorite right now.
