From outfit sandwiching to Coastal Cowgirl, there' s no place like TikTok to keep abreast of what's trending with the fashion crowd.
Case in point: the Zara pleated skirt that I can't stop seeing. It's giving Cher from Clueless, and ties in perfectly with this season's micro skirt trend.
I've seen it in countless try-ons and Zara haul videos, a sure sign that it's an item worth investing in. Reminiscent of that Miu Miu skirt Nicole Kidman wore on the Vanity Fair 2022 Hollywood issues, it's all about that preppy feel.
It comes in two neutral colourways, camel and black, and is adorned with a super thin belt. Crucially, it has a low-rise waistline, essential to embracing the Y2K trend.
You can also buy a similar version, but with no belt, available in camel and a grey marl finish. Both retail at just £29.99. As you'll know from reading our Zara shopping hacks, if you can't see your size online, you can sign up to be alerted when it's back in stock. Zara always brings back popular items.

As for how to style the mini pleated skirt, it's all about leaning into the preppy vibe. Think knitted twin-sets or a roll-neck jumper, and some chunky loafers or this season's major shoe trend: Mary-Janes.
Or you could go against the grain and team yours with an oversized sweatshirt and knee-high boots or trainers.
Either way, it's time to get your hands on this viral Zara skirt before it sells out.
