Zara shoppers 'traumatised' after iconic item returns to shelves 8 years later

The legendary Zara coat was a fashion staple back in the day

Social media users love looking back and mocking the heavily-applied, uber-pigmented and super sharp make-up looks of 2016, but what about '2016 fashion'?

Topshop Joni jeans, Adidas Superstars, choker necklaces - all topped off with the Instagram dog filter.

Wow - we really did all live the same life, didn't we?

There's an item seemingly missing from this list, however - something which almost every single 2016 chick whipped out during the icy winter months.

The iconic Zara puffer coat.

Remember the one? It came in either mustard yellow or navy blue - though OGs will recall the latter was the most highly sought-after - and had a fur-lined hood.

It was reasonably priced as well - sitting in the £50ish mark, it meant you could save up all your weekend job earnings to buy it.

Well, apparently, if you missed out on making the hot purchase eight years ago, you can fulfil your 18-year-old dream once again, as the coat has once again hit the shelves.

That's right, you'll find both the yellow and navy versions hanging on the shop floor of hundreds of UK Zara stores right now.

The discovery was recently documented by one TikTok-using customer, who claimed she was almost knocked over by a tidal wave of nostalgia after spotting the jacket in her local store recently.

"Jumpscare in Zara today," she jokingly captioned her now-viral video. "who remembers these coats from 2015/2016?"

The coat can now be repurchased on the fashion firm's website (Zara)

And naturally, thousands of comments quickly came pouring in from girls who claimed they were also proud owners of the much-loved coat.

"I was a victim of this coat for two years," one admitted.

Another went on: "I never thought I’d see the day."

"Sorry but these coats were sooo good lol genuinely a good jacket," a third added, before a fourth went on: "Spectacular, give me 14 of them right now."

That said, however, not everyone is pleased to see this 'vintage' purchase back on the shop floor once again, with many worried it might see other old school items brought out of hiding.

"These look very different in 2024," one laughed.

"Just because we CAN does NOT mean we should" another continued.

A third went on to ask: "Why do I feel like all stores are just emptying their warehouses atm?"

"Traumatised," another admitted.
