14 Anti-Trend Pieces From Zara’s Autumn Collection I Know Will Sell Out First

Zara is a brand I shop from year-round, but autumn? That's when the Spanish label comes into its own. Linen in bright colours and statement prints tend to dominate its summer wares, but come autumn, Zara's aesthetic morphs into one of quiet refinement—and we've just had our first peek at what's in store for the season ahead.
Now, Zara's autumn 2023 collection has landed in its new-in section and I could immediately tell that this year's offering is going to be one of its strongest to date. With a focus on simple silhouettes, a timeless colour palette, and separates that work equally hard worn together or apart, Zara's autumn drop speaks directly to the anti-trend movement we're seeing in fashion right now.
From lightweight coats that drape beautifully on the body to waistcoat-and-trouser co-ords—a sleek combination the brand has become synonymous with lately—every item looks so much more expensive than its price tag. With could-be-designer accessories adding a final polish to the elevated pieces, as I scrolled I found myself audibly gasping at the looks before me.
Below, I've rounded up my edit of the chicest items from Zara's autumn 2023 collection. Shop them now, before everyone else catches on to their brilliance.
