No one ever really needs an excuse to head over to Zara, but just in case you do, I'll give you a solid one: its vast selection of outerwear. Truly the one-stop shop for trends, it shouldn't be any surprise that the retailer has gone deep when it comes to the variety of coats and jackets on offer this season. And now that we're at the point where it's only bound to get colder from here, it's probably a good idea to give its selection a thorough scan.

If you don't have time to, don't worry because I put my online shopping skills to good use and scrolled through every last page for you. After a few hours down, I managed to narrow down hundreds of SKUs into the best 24 pieces of outerwear to own now. Finding yourself enthralled with cloud coats lately? I've included a few strong options within this list. Looking for a heavy-duty coat to battle the brutal winter weather? There are plenty of those too. Or maybe you're in need of a light layer if you're a Los Angeleno like me—I also threw in some stylish shackets into the mix. Keep scrolling to see them all, and just know, you'll likely leave this story with a new coat in the mail en route.

Fashion Market Editor

Indya Brown is a fashion editor, stylist, and writer living in Los Angeles. While going to school at Columbia University in New York City, she got her feet wet in the fashion industry interning at Elle magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York magazine's The Cut. After graduating in 2016, she joined The Cut as a fashion assistant, eventually working her way up to fashion editor. There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content. While New York has been her home for over 10 years, she moved to Los Angeles in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 for a new chapter. Now she is a fashion market editor for Who What Wear, focusing on emerging designers, rising trends on and off the internet, interior design, and BIPOC creatives and brands. Aside from her duties as a fashion market editor, Brown is also a freelance stylist and writer, working on national print and video commercial campaigns for Sephora, The Independent, and Cadillac. Her bylines also include Harper's Bazaar, Vox, and The New York Times. But once the computer goes down and the emails turn off, she's likely eating her way through Koreatown, hunting down vintage furniture, scoping out new outrageous nail designs to try, or taking a hot cycling class.
