It's Already Spring at Zara—These Are the 7 Trends I Think It Has Mastered

Jazzria Harris
Look closely. Between the wool coats, faux-fur everything and chunky knits that are still hanging around, you'll notice that the latest drops at Zara are already tapping into some of spring 2025's earliest trends.
The Who What Wear UK team has been prepping for the new season since September. As soon as we witness the shows across New York, London, Milan and Paris, we're 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.
S/S 25 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—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 seven Zara trends that are already tapping into the SS25 mood.
'90s PLAID
Rich checks work perfectly in the winter with cosy layers and boots.
PRETTIEST PINKS
FRINGING FOR ALL
Get ready for the return of boho!
MAIN-CHARACTER BAGS
TULLE ON TULLE
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 a slip.
SUIT CITY
Zara started in tailoring, so you know that the blazers are always worth buying.
You can wear high heels or polished flats for this look—both work.
