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.
Keep scrolling to see and shop the chic shoe trends you'll find at Zara this season. Spoiler alert: every pair on our list is priced under £100. You're welcome.
