Zara is well-versed in creating sell-out pieces, and we are here to officially confirm the next viral buy: this check jacket. In the past 24 hours alone, we have seen multiple of our favourite fashion girls talking about this exact piece on social media, confirming its must-have status. In fact, this jacket has already sold out once, with Zara confirming a full size restock is on the way. Phew!
Now it may not sound like much at first, but just wait until you see it...
With a high funnel neck, an adjustable drawstring hem and elasticated cuffs, the silhouette perfectly nails the bomber style, with trend-led touches elevating it above other, similar designs. Made from a cotton blend, it’s lightweight and easy to wear – AKA the perfect transitional layer. Decorated all over in a gingham pattern, it instantly taps into autumn’s biggest print, as confirmed by the AW26 runways, where check prints were seen at Chloé, Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton and more.
While we’re personally plumping for the chocolate brown colourway to earn us even more style points, this jacket is also available in an ecru and maroon design if you simply can’t wait for the brown version to come back into stock in your size. It’s just as gorgeous and seasonally appropriate, and will provide a nice pop of colour to neutral ensembles.
Whichever colourway you go for, the styling options are endless. Layered over a white tank and coordinating jeans, this jacket takes centre stage. Blue denim will dress it down for a more casual vibe, while a white floaty midi and knee-high boots give a more intentional, cool girl feel. Follow Laura Byrnes’ lead and add accessories in the same hue as your jacket for the perfect finishing touches.
Race you to the checkout!
