Zara Has Tapped Into the Trend That Signals Good Taste

Grey skies have settled over London, and in the blink of an eye, my thoughts have completely shifted to autumn. Whilst there are warmer days on the horizon, my light cottons and airy linens alone won’t cut it when the unpredictable British weather quickly shifts from hot to cold. Somehow, Zara always seems to predict exactly what my wardrobe needs, and as I pulled on a jumper this morning after months of bare arms, I noticed that the high street hero simultaneously dropped a refined edit of autumn’s most premium-looking trend: suede.

Textural updates are one of the most defining marks of autumn’s imminent arrival. For the coolest days, cosy cashmeres and heavy knits come into play, but the fabric that eases the gap between light summer cottons and the warmest materials is luxe-looking suede.
