Zara's Scarf Coats Are Elegant, Anti-Trend and Timeless

published 15 December 2024

There's been a definitive temperature drop over the past few days, and the full winter chill is officially upon us. My warmest merino tops are now worn on repeat, with cashmere accessories like socks and gloves working hard as cosy finishing touches. In terms of outerwear, I've been eyeing up my full-length puffer coat, but in search of something a little more elevated with the same insulating appeal, I spent the morning searching for the best scarf coat, and Zara has come through.

The refined appeal of a scarf coat is undeniable, and with a practical twist of integrating a warm accessory, it makes for the perfect blend of form and function. Truthfully, I've been enamoured by the style ever since the start of winter. High-end offerings from Toteme and Joseph have been on my radar, but if you're looking for a more affordable option, you'll definitely want to scroll on.

The brilliance of Zara is that the brand is always aligned with the latest trending designs, as well as tapping into the classic pieces that are sure to go the distance, all with an appealing price tag. And this winter the brand has excelled in highlighting the trending colours of the moment, party-ready pieces for the festive season and most recently, displaying a highly chic selection of scarf coats.

From shorter lengths to long styles, trending burgundy shades to classic black, there's a scarf coat to suit all at Zara right now. Even those who are searching for a playful print will be satiated with the brand's latest offerings. So let's get straight into it. Here are the best scarf coats at Zara this winter.
