I'm a Coat Obsessive—These Are the 7 Styles Zara Is Doing So Well Right Now

When it comes to high-street brands, editors, influencers and celebrities will agree on one thing: No one can resist the allure of Zara. Over the last decade, the Spanish titan has truly taken the fashion world by storm, serving up everything from incredible collabs—this summer alone we’ve seen collections from Kate Moss and Narciso Rodriguez—to timeless basics and cult buys as well as a mass of amazing accessories, proving it’s a one-stop shop for everything the fashion set could ever need.
For me, there is one thing that Zara does particularly well, and that’s outerwear. Providing us with a mixture of style, fabric, colour and fit, each season, the brand ensures there’s something for everyone in its large and varied coat collection. As a self-confessed coat obsessive, as well as an utter Zara lover, I feel fully qualified to report on this matter. Whenever the time comes for me to sell on or donate my coat and invest in a new style I will love just as much, I always head to Zara first. Continuously impressive, affordable yet good-quality, it ticks every one of my metaphorical boxes. This year, as ever, there’s plenty to choose from, including trendy bombers, simple wool styles and cosy shearling numbers.
Keep scrolling to discover the coat trends and styles Zara is nailing this autumn, as well as my edit of the best on site right now.
1. BOMBERS
Okay, so these aren't technically coats, but Zara is nailing the bomber-jacket trend this season, so I had to include them. After being spotted on the A/W 22 runways (thank you, Givenchy and Prada) as well as the street style runway in every city from London to New York, it’s clear that this is the year that bombers are back. Thankfully, Zara has plenty to choose from including oversized, longline styles and cropped, wool iterations. Wear yours with jeans and knitwear or layer over a dress to give it a bit of edge.

2. TRENCHES
Mark my words: A trench coat will never go out of style. Zara does these particularly well, and thanks to their evergreen popularity, there is always a peppering of them on the brand’s new-in page. This year, along with the classics, the brand has released some party-ready satin and leather styles in addition to oversized cuts and trenches with trendy maxi-hem details.

3. DOUBLE-BREASTED
A double-breasted coat is such a classic and will work hard in your wardrobe year after year. It might not be as trend-led as other coats, but if you're looking to invest in a timeless shape that will work with multiple looks, this is it. Right now, Zara has multiple black or off-white styles to choose from, as well as a showstopping fuchsia number that nods to this season's Barbiecore trend.

4. PUFFERS
Once winter hits you can't go wrong with a cosy puffer coat, and Zara's selection features everything from practical hooded styles to neat cropped numbers. Go for classic khaki or black, or be brave and opt for chic all-white or frosty baby blue, which are just as versatile.

5. WOOLLEN
Another style Zara always gets right is the simple wool coat. These look effortlessly stylish worn over jeans, a knit and ankle boots but can also add a smart touch to comfy winter outfits made up of leggings or sweatpants. Plus, they also work with dresses and workwear. Thankfully, Zara has plenty to choose from already, including chic belted styles or straight-cut tailored versions.
Shop the look:
6. FAUX SHEARLING
Shearling is having a moment, as proven by Loewe's, Etro's and JW Anderson's A/W 22 collections, to name a few. Cool, classic and cosy, pair this style of outerwear with denim or layer over cashmere knits and midi skirts. This season, Zara is tapping into the trend with everything from full-on fluffy aviator-style jackets to simple faux-shearling details.
Shop the look:
7. LEATHER
The biker trend is back for autumn 2022 with designers such as Chloé and Prada putting contemporary twists on the leather classics. Opt for an oversized jacket that can be layered over knitwear and tailoring or choose a Parisian-inspired, moto-style cropped version completed with statement buttons.
