Zara has a habit of creating viral items, doesn't it? If it isn't the lace cami dress, it's thebandeau co-ord. And now the high streetbrand has truly excelled itself. If you've been on Instagram or TikTok over the last few days (of course you have), undoubtably you would have seen this faux leather jacket-of-dreams. It's a real work of art. So much so, everyone has noticed that it has an uncanny resemblance to a certain designer Saint Laurent style – just without the £5,000+ price tag. As this one will only set you back £69.99. Although it's not real leather, the detailing – especially the funnel neck – is what makes this affordable jacket look so premium.
The bad news is though, so many people have clocked this jacketthat it's currently sold out online, in all sizes *sad face*. The good news? It's coming back. And we have the link (below) that you can use for the 'notify me' email service to know exactly when it'll be restocked.

While we patiently wait for the Zara style to come back – or frantically refresh the page until it does after seeing how chic @tanya_kaizen looks in it (above) – we want to let you know that funnel neck jackets in general are actually going to be huge news for autumn/winter 2025. And it's all part of the technical jacket trend (looking at you, Uniqlo windbreaker), making us all wear jackets that are as functional as they are stylish. Something which rarely happens in the fashion world, so embrace it.
The way to style this particular jacket is fastened to the top to show off the high neckline, and we'll all be grateful to keep our necks warm, sans scarf, once temperatures start to drop,
At CPHFW, style insiders were backing either leather or windbreaker iterations. And when it comes to how to wear them, we saw a lot of funnel jackets worn the unlikely way; with a fancy skirt, sleek bag and heels – yep, really. While this is a fun look, they'll look equally as good with tailored trousers, capri pants or a mini skirt with boots.
Ready to embrace the funnel neck jacket? We've found styles from the likes of & Other Stories and Cos to Acne Studios.

Now this one feels fresh, doesn't it? The indigo denim with the contrast stitching is the perfect alternative if you're not into windbreaker or leather versions. And we're so into the matchy-matchy midi skirt.

This has to be one of the coolest jackets autumn is going to have to offer. We love the high neck and nipped waist, and the fact it has biker jacket detailing but in a trench coat colourway – the hybrid Grazia HQ is obsessing over.
HarrodsThe cropped trench has also been updated with the funnel neck detail, and we back this Aeron version. For this one, wear it buttoned to the top or leave open to show off the leather detailing on the collar. Chic with a capital C.
