Look closely. Between the wool coats, faux-fur everything and chunky knits, you’ll notice that the latest drops at Zara are tapping into some of spring 2025‘s earliest trends.
The Who What Wear UK team has been prepping for the new season since September. As soon as we witness the shows across New York, London, Milan and Paris, we’re already taking notes and bets on what will surface in the next six months to fast-track you to the movements in fashion that actually matter. Deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger recently published her thoughts on the spring/summer 2025 trends that stood out most on the runways, but it would appear that Zara‘s in-house design team are just as quick off the mark.
S/S 25 is shaping up to be very pretty indeed, with soft pastel pinks and tulle taking centre stage alongside voluminous, parachute-inspired silhouettes and charming handbags. But cutting through the frothy aesthetic are some darker moments that suit these winter months—you’ll find a range of serious workwear options via tailored suits (which, according to designers, simply must be styled with a tie, glasses, shirt and heels!) and ’90s throwbacks thanks to Brit Pop parka coats (worn with everything) and grunge plaids.
So, let’s get into it. Here are the seven Zara trends that are already tapping into the 2025 mood.
’90s PLAID

Flannel Check Dress
Styled á la Zara, this certainly ticks the ’90s-grunge box.

Rich checks work perfectly in the winter with cosy layers and boots.

A flannel shirt is the main character of this trend.

Check Pleated Mini Skirt
