I spent hours browsing the New-In sections at Zara, Arket, and Mango—these 23 anti-trend pieces caught my eye.

      After managing to fit in one last summer holiday this month, I can finally declare that I'm ready to welcome some autumn offerings. While I will, of course, be unveiling my cozy knitwear collection from their vacuum-packed confinement, I always enjoy adding a touch of freshness each season. Because, who doesn't? With the ‘new in’ sections overflowing with stylish outerwear (I'm searching for a leather bomber and a funnel neck jacket), shiny boots, bags, and everything in between, now is undoubtedly the best time to grab your new season starter pack.

      While my Net-a-Porter wish list is endless at any time of the year, I usually turn to the high street to replenish my cherished pieces. There are three shopping apps on my phone that I frequently use: Zara, Arket, and Mango. That's why I've spent hours in the past few days browsing for items I want to purchase, and the anti-trend elevated classics are what caught my eye.

      Sarah is sporting a Zara funnel neck jacket. Zara has heavily embraced suede, which, while key this season, somehow feels like a timeless ‘70s trend that fits well in any decade. On the other hand, Arket has focused on crafting impeccable knitwear, with a twist—think hybrids of scarves and jumpers and cardigans featuring unique buttons. They also offer draped coats that could pass for designer pieces and a pair of snake print boots that would make anyone swoon.

      Finally, Mango has a variety of items, from satin shirts and belted knit jackets to trench coats that you'd want to pair with every outfit. So, without further delay, here are the 23 standout items I've selected as a starter pack for autumn/winter 2025 from these beloved high street favorites.
