However, these aren't the only buys Zara's getting right. In fact, it's already evident that there are five trending colours its is backing for the season ahead.

Below, you'll find the five shades that Zara predicts will be all the rage. From the colour that was all over the runways and the hue guaranteed to lift your existing autumn wares to the never-date tone that is an ideal move away from black and navy, keep scrolling to see the chicest examples of Zara's autumn colours

1. TANGERINE TONES

Commonly associated with summertime, orange works just as well, if not better, in autumn, especially with the likes of khaki, navy, and cream. With the power to brighten every outfit, orange tones have already made their way into countless influencers' looks by way of knitwear.

2. PASTORAL GREENS

Our obsession with all things green might have started in summer, but this confirms it—we'll be wearing it for the rest of the year. This is great news if you've already invested in the trend. However, if you're on the hunt for a new green wardrobe addition, Zara has plenty of pieces to choose from. 

3. CHIC BROWNS

After falling out of fashionable favour for a few years, brown is very much back on the agenda, with many of the sleekest autumn offerings we've seen coming in the shade. 

4. SHOCKING BLUES

Whatever the year, whatever the season, blue always makes its way onto our radar in one saturation or another. For autumn 2021, in place of powdery pastels, designers opted for vivid blue tones, best described as electric blues. Naturally, Zara is already in on the action. 

5. PERENNIAL PINKS

Pink has proven to be one of the biggest colour trends of the last five years, and it would appear that it's not ready to give up its crown just yet. At Zara, the hue features on over 500 pieces—here are five we think you need to see.
