After weeks of downpours, the weather across the UK is finally starting to swing into the spring mood. With longer, warmer days on the horizon, finding the trends that will help me shape my spring capsule wardrobe are a must, so I did what every fashionable person in the know would do, and started by taking a look through the Who What Wear UK spring/summer 2026 report. From slouched rugby shirts to Marie Antoinette-coded rococo lace, its a one-stop shop of enviable outfit inspiration. Looking for a affordable way to dive into some of my favourite trends, I turned to one of my favourite places to shop…. Zara’s new-in section.

As a seasoned fashion editor, I often find that Zara is always one step ahead of the curve. Brimming with on-trend newness, the high street heroes’ most recent drop is full of expensive-looking silhouettes and runway-approved colour combinations for a fraction of the price. From functional funnel-necks to hip grazing denim and vibrant colour-blocking, the site’s new-in section felt sleek, elevated and wholly 2026-coded. You see, Zara’s secret weapon lies in the brand's unfussy wearability. With a considered approach to new season trends, they aim to take the heavy lifting out of everyday styling, and with just the addition of one or two pieces, you can elevate your look from the run of the mill to undeniably chic.

Having carefully searched the site (and trust me, there's so much goodness it was no easy feat), I’ve narrowed down the six key trends that Zara are backing this spring that are well worth investing in now. Keep scrolling to see what made the cut.

7 Expensive-Looking Spring Fashion Trends From Zara's New-in:

1. Bomber Jackets

Style Notes: As spring jacket season approaches, there's one shape which is front of mind…the bomber jacket. Transitional, comfortable and undeniably stylish, the bomber is one of those rare wardrobe staples well suited to both the chillier and warmer weather. With a collection boosting suede, grained leather, and on-trend check print, Zara’s bomber oozes an expensive-looking it factor which stands miles above the rest.

2. Dutiful Denim

Style Notes: From stovepipe to bootcut to cigarette, much like the rest of us, Zara is all about denim this spring. And lets be honest, you can never truly go wrong with the right pair of jeans!

3. Funnel Necks

Style Notes: Functional yet undeniably stylish, funnel-neck jackets have quickly become the go-to of every fashionable person on my social media feed. Once only seen on sporty windbreakers, the autumn/winter 2025 runways gave the funnel neck a sculptural, sophisticated update. Providing all the warmth of a scarf (without the need of an additional layer), this shape was everywhere in winter, and having now restocked the bestselling leather jacket, Zara proves that there's a funnel neck for everyone this spring.

4. Romantic Lace

Style Notes: We saw the rise of the lace-trim skirt last summer, but this spring, Zara’s lace isn't solely confined to the mini, midi and maxi. With stylish people leaning into the romantic, “feminine” touch that lace brings, layered lace looks have been rising in popularity over the last few months. Check the new-in section for a look at the new lace hybrids—peeking out the bottom of a soft knit jumper, trimming dresses, or finishing faux suede jackets, this pretty addition adds softness to tried-and-tested staples.

5. Something About Studs

Style Notes: While we tend to associate studs with grungy boots and heavy leather, there's something refreshing about this revamped trend gaining traction in Zara’s latest drop. Proof that studs can in fact be quite elevated, these pieces add edge to the minimalist basics and muted colourways seen in the rest of the brand's spring collection.

6. Colour Blocked Knitwear

Style Notes: In a nod to late ‘80s and early ‘90s styling, vibrant colour-blocked knitwear is gaining traction once again. Inject a healthy dose of personality into your look with mismatched shades and power dressing, as Zara uses acidic shades of orange paired with muted lilac to create Mondrian-esque layering you’ll want to wear through summer too.
