5 Sophisticated Shoe Trends Zara Is Already Backing in a Big Way This Year
To get a good sense of 2025’s top trends, you don’t have to sift through dozens of runway photos. You can just head to your nearest Zara. This high-street hero has long held a reputation for tapping into the most talked-about trends of a season, presenting them in an affordable and wearable way. Admittedly, you have to pick and choose wisely; not all budget-friendly fashion is created equal, and like all high-street stores, Zara's quality can be a little inconsistent. But at Who What Wear, we're well-versed in pin-pointing the styles worth spending your money on, so we've carefully sifted through Zara's latest shoe offering to whittle down the options.
Zara's new collection is impressive as a whole, but the footwear offering, in particular, is brimming with gems. From expensive-looking suede boots to ladylike slingbacks, there's a shoe to suit every occasion in your 2025 diary. And unsurprisingly, this year's key trends are front and centre—especially the five we've highlighted below.
