Zara's new winter coat edit raises eyebrows with strange styling choices

There's no denying that Spanish retailer Zara is a trendsetter.

Now though the popular high street store is not only serving up ideas of what you should wear, but also how you should wear it.

The brand recently dropped a new range of outerwear and has chosen some original (and rather unconventional) styling options on its e-commerce site.

The first item that caught people's attention was a chic camel coloured coat worn back to front by a model. Twitter user @melissaar_ spotted the eye-catching image that has now gone viral - the tweet accumulating over 106,000 likes in four days.

Take a quick scroll through Zara's 'New In' section, though, and it seems back-to-front isn't the only unusual way Zara wants you to wear your outerwear this season.

Another model is seen ignoring the arms of a bottle green checked coat, instead wrapping it around herself like a blanket.

Then there's the herringbone coat which is wrapped around a model's head.

Ever struggled carrying your bulky puffer jacket around town? Not anymore.

The most creative idea currently on the site is to pull your trusty jacket all the way up over your head.

If anything, it's definitely is a refreshing way of seeing items when scrolling through endless online shopping sites. Whether it will catch on or not that's another story.
