35 New Items From Zara That Take Faux-Leather Fashion to a Whole New Level
Anyone who knows me well (or at all really) is probably aware of my almost sick obsession with Zara. I say "sick" because back when I used to work full-time in an office, I’d casually pop into the nearby Zara location upwards of three times a week just to see what was new. Now that work is more digital, I’ve taken to checking in with its website on an even more diligent basis. Because of that, when the Spanish fashion brand drops something new, I’m usually among the first to know about it.
It was on one of my far-too-regular scrolls through the new-arrivals section that I discovered the ultimate Zara find: a seemingly endless selection of faux-leather styles—and not just the same ones we've seen time and time again in fashion. Sure, there are plenty of buy-worthy shearling jackets, trousers, and oversize blazers to go around. But what stood out most in the collection were the silhouettes that haven't (yet) made a splash this season. Think monochrome faux-leather sets in shades of Kelly green (Zara's It color for the season and a fast favorite of Kate Middleton's), chocolate brown, and royal purple. Fellow winners include leather corset dresses, red leather leggings, and patent leather micro-minis. Intrigued yet? You should be.
Ahead, see what all the hype is about.
You Haven't Seen Faux Leather Like This
Green, brown, and now purple? Since three's a trend, you'd best get ahead of it by snagging one of Zara's many monochrome leather sets.
These pants sold out in a matter of days. Get your hands on this bodysuit before it does too.
More Faux-Leather Finds From Zara's Fall Collection
These are giving me serious Ross from Friends vibes (before his leather pants got stuck, of course).
Finally, a puffer that doesn't automatically make your look appear casual.
This dress looks like a million bucks. No, really, how is it only $70?
Is there still time to get this leather pencil skirt into the new Matrix movie?
There's something so refreshing about a non-skintight pair of leather pants.
For those in-between days when a leather blazer isn't warm enough but a leather puffer coat is overkill.
With a slouchier fit and some added metal details, this jacket is enough to convince me that moto jackets are in fact still cool.
These days, a black leather blazer is as much a wardrobe staple as a standard-issue black one.
It wasn't until I saw this look that I realized how completely essential a faux-leather puffer vest is.
Excuse me while I fall hard and fast for this button-down–trouser combo.
I have the non-leather version of this and wear it constantly.
The cloud clothing trend was in need of a little edge. That's where this faux-leather duvet coat comes in.
I don't know about you, but I'm in going-out mode. And for that, only this patent leather miniskirt will do.
I, for one, can't wait to wear these long leather shorts with knee-high boots.
Faux suede is equally as important as faux leather, especially when it's this color blue.
A pair of leather-free loafers to wear with your new miniskirt.
