No Joke, I Was So Surprised to Realise This Designer-Looking Jacket Is Actually From Zara

With each new season, we can expect that a standout Zara piece will come to the fore. Last autumn, it was a textured ecru jacket that flew off the shelves, whilst this summer, a particular lace dress was the piece that consistently sold out. Now that autumn is on the horizon, the brand has released its autumn/winter collections early, unveiling its next sell-out jacket in the process. I’m calling it now, Zara’s Suede Effect Bomber Jacket (£60) won’t stay in stock for long.

As soon as I spotted this jacket on my daily scour of the Zara new-in section, I knew it would be a winner. First is the suede-like fabric that brings a richness to the look of this jacket. Autumn’s return brings with it the reintroduction of cold-weather textures into our wardrobes, from soft knits to sturdy leathers, and suede-like fabrics consistently trend over the autumn months.

The silhouette of a bomber jacket is one that never falls out of favour with the fashion crowd, beloved for its easy-going look and throw-on appeal. Where Zara sets this style apart is the oversized silhouette of the jacket, which ensures that this jacket feels both contemporary and timeless in equal measure.
