There's a New Cult Zara Piece Winning Over the Fashion Crowd

One fall 2018 trend that Zara has heavily invested in is colored checks. This print has long been an autumn staple, but checks have been given a brighter makeover by designers like Tibi, Isa Arfen, and Versace. "Traditional checks have been at the forefront of the trends for several seasons," says Lisa Aiken, Net-a-Porter's retail fashion director. "Our more directional brands have experimented with color to give our woman a reason to buy new."
When it comes to colors, burnt oranges are the most popular shade this month. Among the dozens of check pieces on Zara right now, the one that has become a firm influencer favorite is, in line with that trend, a pumpkin-colored, checked pencil skirt.
Style Notes: The orange checks look amazing with this flame jumper and matching orange handbag.
Style Notes: This orange check goes perfectly with vibrant knitwear and bright white accessories.
Although this skirt is currently sold out, there's no shortage of autumnal checks on Zara right now…
