Having worked in fashion for almost twenty years now, I have seen countless trends come and go. This has only naturally left me feeling tired and indifferent from time to time, not only about current buzzy pieces, but also about what’s in my own closet. A perusal of the current Zara site would make even the most jaded fashion or shopping editor do a double take. I recently came across some standout trends that have reinvigorated my closet and have restored my sartorial excitement for fall and winter 2026-2027.
Below, I shopped out five of these excellent trends including embroidered jackets, shimmery holiday party-ready pieces, striking funnel-neck options, and more. Each is guaranteed to add an instant cool factor to any look and most come in at under $150—a major win in my book. I highly recommend you scoop up your favorite styles now because they are sure to sell out fast.
