Anyone who shops at Zara regularly would probably agree that it does every season of the year well, but if you ask me, Zara really excels during the winter. The cozy coats, sweaters, suede shoes, wool accessories—it's all just so good and, in many cases, shockingly affordable. Now that it's become absolutely frigid (it isn't even officially winter yet), I'm shopping for the most essential of winter essentials, all three of which Zara is excelling at: coats, scarves, and boots.
Among my findings are expensive-looking slouchy suede boots and elegant leather riding boots, fur-trimmed and scarf-attached coats, and triangle and faux-fur scarves. Zara pieces in these categories will make your winter 2026 outfits look chic and rich, and my top 10 finds in each will likely sell out soon, especially now that the holiday-party and gift-giving season is here. With that, keep scrolling to shop the best Zara winter essentials.
