It might not be the viral suede jacket of autumn 2025, but there’s still a very hot ticket in a certain shop’s knitwear section right now. Zara’s Ruffled Knit Cardigan might have a different set of vital stats than that jacket, but in many ways, it ticks similar boxes. It’s easy to wear, and, crucially, is currently on sale in Zara’s early Black Friday sale 2025.

Team Grazia has already taken the bait, with two staffers wearing the cardigan within a week of one another. TikTok has also cottoned on to its throw-on-and-go effortlessness. Aniita Fernandez posted about the grey version, with the caption, ‘My favourite jacket with a doubt!!!’ She’s not wrong about the fact that it’s a cardigan that can double up as a cover-up – just fasten all the buttons for an immediately polished look – and the styling options are pretty much limitless.

Fernandez wore hers with pinstriped trousers for a monochrome look, but you could just as easily wear yours with a bubble skirt, a pair of silk cargo pants or even over a slip dress once the weather’s more agreeable.
