I Wasn't Thinking About Autumn Until Zara Dropped These 9 Elegant New-Season Pieces

I don't mean to jinx it, but I believe this is the best summer we've had in years. The heatwaves arrived early, and we've had a surprising amount of consistent high temperatures. With another month of summer ahead, and avoiding checking my weather app, I thought that nothing could tear my attention away from thoughts of summer dressing. That was until Zara launched it's latest collection full of high-end looking autumn buys. Whilst I'll still be savouring the rest of the sunshine, I won't let these chic new season buys pass me by.

Whilst it may feel a little early to be discussing autumn, there's actually a lot of benefit to getting ahead of new season shopping. Firstly, we can save ourselves the last-minute rush when the cooler days arrive, and ensure that we have secured our hard-working autumn pieces before they sell out. The second benefit is that autumn is all about layers, which can be integrated into our wardrobes now with smart styling, and then reformulated for the cooler days once autumn officially arrives.

Scanning through the new-in section at Zara, there's an array of autumn-focused pieces that I've already added to basket. As a brand that knows all about the polished appeal of tailoring, I've got my eye on a pair of crisp pleat trousers that will accompany my tank tops and sandals now, and smarten up my light knits and loafers in a few months time. Texture is a key trend in the cooler months, and already Zara has tapped into the suede offerings that we'll all be searching for in a months time. First up, there's a selection of suede jackets that will be the perfect antidote to cooler days and have such a high-end appeal that I know they'll sell out before the new season even arrives. There's also a pair of suede boat shoes in a deep brown shade that will blend seamlessly with my crisp summer whites as well as tonal burgundies in the new season.

Denim remains a key part of our autumn wardrobes, and the beloved crossover waist jeans are back for another year as a brand best-seller. Ease them into your looks now with a light knit Tee now, and restyle come autumn with cosy jumpers and your favourite trench coat. If you're looking to bring the ease of summer dressing into your new-season wardrobe, consider on of the elegant dresses or jumpsuit that make putting together an outfit that much easier. Last, but far from least, is Zara's accessories collection. As one of my favourite brands for finishing touches, it comes as no surprise that an array of chic shoes, bags and jewellery have been thoughtfully designed to elevate even the simplest of looks.
