Apologies if we've bombarded you with so many fall trend ideas, but we're just that excited about the new season on the horizon. We've already taken cues from runway shows, chic French women, celebrities, and yes, even politicians, but now I've set my sights on Zara to help me sift through all the new fall trends—because you know the retailer's site will be filled to the brim with them.
Not surprisingly, Zara's newest arrivals hit on a slew of different trends, many of which we've been looking forward to for months already. Case in point: shoulder-pad tops. H&M and Mango have their own versions of the '80s-inspired look, and now Zara has jumped into the ring as well.
Shoulder Pads
If you're feeling bold, this top is an excellent way to test-drive the trend.
This sweatshirt's shoulder pads are a bit more subtle than the above version, but certainly no less stylish.
I can picture Bella Hadid in this.
This kills two birds with one stone: it hits on the faux leather trend as well as the shoulder-pad trend.
This is giving me birthday party vibes.
If you're looking for just a hint of the '80s.
Texture
You have to zoom in on this jumpsuit to appreciate the textured details.
Cardigan, but make it fashion.
Ready to embrace fall.
I'd wear this unbuttoned with a white tee underneath.
Statement collar? Precious bow? Check and check.
This is very Jackie O.
Chunky Lug-Sole Boots
Prepare to see similar versions of these boots everywhere this fall.
Wear these with high socks and a mini skirt.
These lug soles are so practical for inclement weather.
Just a touch of Victorian vibes here. I'd wear these with a full midi skirt.
These boots were made for walkin'.
Perfect puddle stompers.
Cardigan-and-Bra-Top Sets
Did you hear? Chocolate is one of the top color trends for fall.
Yep, I'd also wear this with baggy jeans.
Green with envy.
Yes, bra tops can be worn as real tops.
It's time to trade summery cotton tees for cozy knits.
The "grandma chic" trend is still going strong.
I love how this is styled with only the top button buttoned.
Perfect for layering.
Blazers With a Twist
This is giving me equestrian vibes, which is a major fall trend.
This chic Parisian mom listed oversized blazers as one of her favorite fall trends.
