Look closely—between the wool coats, faux fur everything and chunky knits—and you’ll see that the latest drops at Zara are actually tapping into some of spring 2025’s earliest trends.
The team at Who What Wear UK has been prepping for the new season ever since September. As soon as we witness the shows across New York, London, Milan and Paris we are already taking notes and bets on what will surface in the next six months to fast-track you to the movements in fashion that actually matter. Deputy editor, Maxine Eggenberger recently published her thoughts on the spring/summer 2025 trends that stood out most on the runways, but it would appear that Zara’s in-house design team are just as quick off the mark.
SS25 is shaping up to be very pretty indeed, with soft pastel pinks and tulle taking centre stage alongside voluminous, parachute-inspired silhouettes and charming handbags. But cutting through the frothy aesthetic are some darker moments that suit these winter months too—you’ll find a range of serious workwear options via tailored suits (which, according to designers, simply must be styled with a tie, glasses, shirt and heels!) and ’90s throwbacks thanks to Brit Pop parka coats (worn with everything) and grunge plaids.
So, let’s get into it. Here are the 7 Zara trends that are tapping into 2025 already…
’90s PLAID
Styled á la Zara this certainly ticks the ’90s grunge boxes.
ZARA
Zw Collection Check Midi Skirt
Rich checks work perfectly in the winter with cosy layers and boots.
A flannel shirt is the main character of this trend.
ZARA
Check Pleated Mini Skirt
Those looking for a flirty take should try a mini kilt.
PRETTIEST PINKS
ZARA
Long Pleated Skirt X Kate Moss
ZARA
Manteco Wool Blend Coat Zw Collection
The trend doesn’t have to just be for summer—this wool jacket proves it.
ZARA
Knit Sweater With Scarf
If you didn’t try a scarf knit, scarf top or scarf jacket in 2024, I’ll eat my hat!
FRINGING FOR ALL
ZARA
Leather Fringe Xl Maxi Tote Bag
Fringed bags were a common sighting on the SS25 runways.
ZARA
Fringed High-Leg Split Suede Boots
While fringe boots will forever tap into the boho aesthetic.
ZARA
Fringed Pencil Skirt Zw Collection
You can find interesting fringed fabrics through clothes too. This unusual skirt strikes me as looking more premium than a high street brand.
ZARA
Contrast Jacket With Fringing
The way this jacket floats and moves!
MAIN CHARACTER BAGS
ZARA
Embroidered Fabric Bag
It’s all about fun bags for spring 2025 and this embroidered tote is quite the talking point.
ZARA
Satin Shopper Bag With Bows
Even a standard shape can be jazzed up in a cute colour and with surface detailing.
ZARA
Embroidered Fabric Bag
This is so pretty but it would also look good set against a black leather biker jacket.
This is a surprisingly roomy handbag that has all of the charm of a vintage piece.
TULLE ON TULLE
ZARA
Zw Collection Organza Skirt
I think I’m going to need to invest in some big knickers! But you can also layer see-through skirts over jeans or trousers, or simply try out a slip.
ZARA
100% Silk Draped Top
Mesh and tulle tops are one of the easiest ways to tap into the trend.
ZARA
Sequinned Rhinestone Tulle Skirt
Clearly, Zara is strong in the skirt department rn.
ZARA
Long Tulle Gloves With Bows
This trend leans into all things ethereal and romantic, so why not go to the fullest with some tulle gloves?
SUIT CITY
ZARA
Zw Collection 100% Wool Double-Breasted Blazer
Zara started off in tailoring, so you know that blazers are always worth buying from this store.
ZARA
Zw Collection 100% Wool Straight-Leg Trousers
I’m intrigued to see this slightly flared silhouette coming back to the fore.
ZARA
Striped Zw Collection Shirt
Collars and cuffs for serious people who mean business (or just really like this trend).
You can wear high heels or polished flats for this look, both work.
MOTIF TEES
ZARA

Zara has partnered with artists to create a range of unique tees.
ZARA
Fade-Effect Bear Print T-Shirt
I can’t help but enjoy how incredibly kitsch this it.
ZARA
RenÉ Magritte Print T-Shirt
When life just feels surreal… wear surrealism.
Maybe not one for the office but absolute perfection for weekends with friends.
