In its latest sartorial stride, Zara unveils its new denim collection for men, harmonizing the laid-back essence of ’90s fashion with modern trends. The brand ropes in the effortlessly cool trio of Evan Mock, Tyler Blue Golden, and Marcos Montoya, who bring an authentic skater edge to the collection.

Photographed by Johnson Lui, the setting evokes a nostalgic yet crisp atmosphere, complete with props like a classic boombox that resonate with the era’s street scene. The collection’s presentation balances the understated and the statement-making, reflecting a neutral color palette that underscores the timeless appeal of denim.

Zara’s collection promotes a dynamic approach to layering, allowing pieces to be mixed and matched to suit the ever-changing urban climate. The baggy jeans, a salute to ’90s relaxed fits, are updated with zippered and biker details, adding a contemporary edge.

Hoodies and denim jackets are versatile staples, presenting a particularly modern take on a perennial favorite. There’s also a clear nod to texture, including a bouclé cardigan that adds a tactile dimension to the otherwise sleek collection.

Footwear and outerwear choices in the collection are intentionally understated, with low-profile sneakers in simple designs completing the looks and ensuring the denim remains the focal point. The sneakers’ subtle styling contrasts with the volume of the jeans, creating a grounded silhouette.

In their traditional form, bomber jackets make a comeback, offering a snug barrier against the chill. Together, these elements craft a collection that’s as practical as it is stylish, with Zara once again demonstrating its ability to blend everyday wearability with a keen fashion sense.
