The chill in the autumn air means only one thing: it’s time to give our outfits a seasonal refresh. Propping up your wardrobe for the coming months, a good jacket is top of the wish list – and Zara’s TikTok-famous shearling aviator jacket is hard to beat.

With 16 million views (and counting) on the app, users are lauding the high-street favourite’s double-faced short coat as this year’s must-have autumn jacket, owing to its effortless aesthetic and lightweight feel.

Dominating both the pavements and social feeds, Zara’s aviator embodies the laid-back style favoured by the fashion pack this autumn – think Arket’s sell-out breton striped jumper, cargo trousers (the baggier the better) and Ugg’s viral platform mini boots.

Costing £99, Zara’s aviator-style jacket is characterised by a wide faux-shearling collar and exaggerated cuffs, a flattering, slightly cropped length and wearable brown leather-effect finish. After selling out last winter, the viral coat is now back in all sizes for 2022.

If there’s a jacket-sized hole in your autumn wardrobe, run, don’t walk, to add Zara’s double-faced jacket to your next high-street haul. Here’s everything you need to know, plus the best similar shearling aviator styles to shop right now.
