The New-Season Zara Arrivals Fashion People Will Buy Before September 1

With each season comes its new arrivals across retailers, and given that many of our readers shop at Zara, I went through what's new for fall 2026 so far.
For shoes, there are ballet flats, loafers, Mary Janes, and slip-on mules—from a chartreuse pair to patent leather. Zara is also known for its fall outerwear, and while the full range isn't out yet, we're starting to see some lightweight options, such as the Technical Fabric Zip Jacket in a statement turquoise and the on-trend Zw Collection Cape Trench Coat.
With purple being one of the biggest color trends of fall 2026, the Leather Shopper Bag stood out as well, and if there's one item I was to guess is most likely to sell out, I'd pick the Linen-Blend Beaded Skirt with contrasting bead appliqué detailing. Also, associate fashion editor Nikki Chwatt recently wrote about the $25 Henley T-Shirt she picked up on a recent trip to Spain, calling it "so versatile and flattering."
