The £36 Zara jacket is so hot it’s a sellout but we found the best alternatives
Zara jacket
Checkered, warm, and an Autumn wardrobe essential, so it’s no wonder this viral piece is flying off the shelves.
We love a Zara haul as much as the next trend-obsessed shopper, but let’s be honest: this brand has a knack for selling out faster than you can say “add to basket,” thanks to the power of social media.
That’s where Hey Savi comes in. The £36 checked bomber jacket is already down to very limited stock, so we’ve hunted down the alternatives- whether you’re after a boujee carbon copy or a similar look for less.
Whatever the weather, a bomber jacket is a non-negotiable in your A/W wardrobe. Lightweight or chunky, casual or dressy, there’s a version of this trend for every mood. Zara’s take nails the checked pattern that instantly elevates an outfit, all while keeping you toasty. Obviously.
We’ve done the legwork across the splurges and the bargains, so here are a handful of the most stylish (and wonderfully versatile) bombers you can snap up now for an early taste of autumn.
