This New Zara Skirt Is a Perfect Alt for the Fall Runways’ Most Dominant Trend

I stalk Zara’s new arrivals like most reload their for-you pages—multiple times a day, every day of the week. I do this because when an item drops that warrants my attention, if I don’t find it immediately after it becomes available, it’ll sell out. That’s life in the TikTok era for you. Naturally, then, when I discovered that the brand had dropped an under-$120 full skirt much like the ones that dominated the fall/winter 2023 runways in February, I wasn’t about to hesitate to snag one for myself—and share the news quickly thereafter. 

Full, voluminous skirts were most prominently spotted at Prada, where gorgeous white satin numbers were paired with neutral knits and suede outerwear and finished off with decorative kitten heels. But Prada was far from the only brand that got in on the trend. Bottega Veneta, Proenza Schouler, Emilia Wickstead, and more labels that showed across fashion month added fuel to the full-skirt fire, switching from leather to wool plaid to denim and back again. Zara’s take is a sand-colored, almost low-rise style with large pleats and belt holes for accessorizing. It also has a matching bomber jacket that simply must be considered as well. Keep scrolling to shop both pieces and explore the runway trend that’s blowing up in 2023.
