Zara's £79.99 Tapestry Jacket Is the Perfect Transitional Piece for Autumn
When it comes to swapping your summer dresses out for your autumn uniform, a jacket is a great place to start. After all, if the heavens surprisingly open and unleash a torrent of rain (hardly a rarity here in the UK), you’ll wish you had an outer layer to keep you dry. Or maybe to throw over your head to save your blow-dry from turning into a frizzy mess… But just because it’s your first port of call doesn’t mean it’s the easiest element of your ensemble. In fact, finding that perfect transitional jacket is often far from straightforward.
Zara's £79.99 Tapestry Jacket Is the Perfect Transitional Piece for Autumn
In fact, finding that perfect transitional jacket is often far from straightforward. It needs to be lightweight enough to handle the fluctuating temps of late summer, yet robust enough to keep out the evening chill. The fact that it has to be stylish goes without saying.
Luckily, we think we might have found just the thing courtesy of Zara’s new-in section, where the high street hero’s early autumn collection has already started to drop. Introducing the tapestry jacket. Think of this as the quilted jacket's more elegant, sophisticated sister.
Zara Silhouettes vary, but the crucial design details centre on artistic embroidery that looks like it’s been lifted straight from an 11th-century wall hanging. As a result of the craftsmanship involved in such a piece, price points are admittedly a little on the steeper side, with Zara's design retailing for £79.99 – but remember this is an investment piece.
Far from a basic, throw-on layer, the jacket is the outfit. And given you’ll be wearing it now throughout autumn, cost per wear actually tracks at less than your daily boujee coffee order. That’s girl maths.
When the sun is shining, wear it over white blouse tops and floaty midi skirts. Or, for a more autumnal look, pair it with dark-wash denim. Everyone's clicking on. Prepare to see plenty more tapestry jackets appearing in the new season collections!
