The time has finally come to whip out our chilly weather jackets after a long, hot summer—and we couldn't be more thrilled about it. Naturally, our fall/winter wardrobes feature classic pieces we reach for and re-wear every single year—but we're also poised and ready to jump on the trending styles having a major moment this season.
That, of course, means we've been scrolling diligently through the "new in" sections of our go-to retailers and scouring the high street for pieces worth an investment before winter really kicks in. And one piece that we're so ready to add to our outerwear collections is this chic faux fur Zara find.
If you haven't heard, the peplum trend that was huge back in the 2010s is making a comeback. We've been spotting it on everything from tops to dresses this year—and the Zara Faux Fur Peplum Jacket is a prime example of how to get on board with the style resurgence and do it right.
While they might feel nostalgic, peplum designs were popular for a reason. The flared hemline of a peplum piece provides a flattering, sculpted silhouette—and actually kind of has an undeniable elegance. If it's a vibe you've always thought was past it and outdated, it's worth giving it a chance now that it’s officially chic again.
Zara's teddy bear-esque jacket features a round neck, long sleeves, and chunky dark buttons that expertly contrast its neutral beige hue. With its flared peplum hem and furry feel, it's a piece that actually ticks off two of this season's biggest emerging trends.
You know the drill for peplum now, but faux fur is another element that made a big appearance on the FW26 runways this year. The combination of the two super stylish trends means this Zara pick is a no-brainer buy if you're after a piece that looks adorable with casual pairings like classic jeans and ankle boots. And it'll make the perfect cover-up for when party season arrives, thanks to the glamour faux fur always provides.
For $119, it's well worth an investment if you can see yourself easily working it into your cold-weather wardrobe and getting plenty of wears out of it. Trust us, it's firmly on our wish lists.
