Zara is often considered the one high-street store that is the most responsive to trends, as it rapidly interprets the prints, silhouettes and colours that are bubbling up from the catwalks or Instagram. It is usually the best place to find those microtrends that will be everywhere in six months time, whether that's a pearl headband or an organza trench coat.
This summer, there are five microtrends I've noticed all over the homepage. However, given the stock-shifting power of Zara, these probably won't stay "micro" for very long at all. The most obvious one is organza, as you'll find everything from blouses to trench coats in this delicate, sheer fabric. I've also noticed lots of statement blouses with puffy sleeves and fitted bodices in punchy florals, as well as strappy sandals in neon and bold colours.
Zara, of course, has all the key trends of the season covered—from tie-dye to tonal outfits—but if you tend to lean towards the smaller trends, keep scrolling to shop the five microtrends Zara is backing.
