If you’ve spotted the words ‘coming soon’ on Zara’s website and aren’t sure what they mean, you’re not alone. It can be confusing, especially when it’s written next to a piece you’re desperate to buy. But don’t worry — here’s everything you need to know.

In short, ‘coming soon’ means the item will likely be restocked online soon. It usually appears next to specific sizes or colours, and it’s more promising than seeing ‘out of stock.’ Zara regularly restocks sold-out items, especially if customers have returned them.

What Does Coming Soon Mean on Zara?

When you see coming soon next to a Zara item, it means that the product is expected to be restocked shortly. This typically applies to individual sizes or colourways that are temporarily unavailable. Unlike “out of stock,” which usually indicates that an item has sold out completely, “coming soon” signals that Zara anticipates more stock — either through new deliveries or customer returns.

To improve your chances of getting it, you can sign up for email notifications (more on that below) and keep checking back regularly.

TLDR – Zara “Coming Soon” Explained

• Coming Soon means an item may be restocked online shortly.
• You can sign up for email alerts to be notified if it comes back in stock within 15 days.
• Zara restocks online daily, but Mondays and Thursdays are best for in-store drops.
• If it doesn’t return within 45 days, try Vinted, Depop or eBay instead.

How to Sign Up for Zara Email Alerts

Next to the product, you’ll see a little envelope icon. When you click this, you can sign up to receive an email if your size is restocked. These alerts are active for 15 days. If the item comes back in stock during that time, you’ll receive an email – but act fast, as other people will be signed up too.

If the item isn’t restocked in that window, the alert expires and you’ll need to register again.

How to Check In-Store Availability

If you’d rather shop in person, Zara’s website lets you check availability in local stores. Just click ‘Check in-store availability’, choose your size, then enter your postcode or area. The website will then show you a list of stores that may have your item in stock.

How Often Does Zara Restock Items?

This varies a lot by item. However, Zara has a 30-day return policy, and customer returns often lead to restocks. If someone sends the item back, it may become available again.

If your item hasn’t come back after around 45 days, it may no longer be restocked.

What Days Does Zara Restock?

Zara restocks online daily, so it’s worth checking frequently. For in-store restocks, it’s said that Mondays and Thursdays are when stores receive new stock (depending on location).

Best Days to Shop Zara:

• Online: Daily (no specific time)
• In-store: Mondays Thursdays
• Avoid: Saturdays, when stock tends to be low

What to Do if an Item Doesn’t Come Back in Stock

If you’ve waited and it still hasn’t come back, it might be time to check reselling platforms. Many Zara shoppers use:

• Vinted
• Depop
• eBay
