Faux fur is a popular trend amongst the coat/jacket section of their website where it is seen on the collars of coats, the sleeves or the entire coat itself. It isn't seen as much on other items of clothing such as tops, dresses or skirts because it wouldn't sell as well. Almost all of the coats/jackets promoted on the website have faux fur on them which makes this the perfect trend for autumn/winter.

One trend in particular that has been very popular is embroidery, they have translated this into their clothing by embroidering jackets/coat, tops and dresses. Usually the embroidery is a big statement piece on the front of the clothing and on some of the jackets in Zara it is a big piece on the back. A lot of the embroidery is floral throughout Zara's collection but there are a few embroider patterns and small images on some of the shirts.

The puffa jacket is seen all over the Zara store in different styles, colours and sizes. Zara has branched out and have an array of different colour puffa jackets as well as the typically known black ones. None of their puffa jackets are the same sort of styles so there are many options to choose from, they are the perfect trend for this autumn/winter.
