Zara McDermott looked effortlessly chic in a chocolate brown loungewear set from her brand Rise by Zara McDermott – and fans are obsessed with the comfy co-ord
Loungewear is such a versatile wardrobe staple, perfect for that off-duty vibe while hitting the local coffee shop, keeping cosy in the house, or feeling sporty in the gym. And recently, former Made In Chelsea star Zara McDermott stunned in a ‘really comfy’ jumper that’s perfect for nailing the athleisure aesthetic.
The 28-year-old looked winter-ready in a matching loungewear set in a chocolate brown hue in a snap shared to the New Look Instagram account. It comes after the reality-star-turned-documentary-maker recently launched her brand – Rise by Zara McDermott – into the high street store.
The exact set jumper she wore in the snap was the Rise by Zara McDermott Brown Scuba Quarter Zip Jumper , which costs £35. Coming in a relaxed fit in sizes 8-22, it’s made from a ‘gorgeous’ scuba material that shoppers love, complete with an on-trend funnel neck and quarter zip.

The pullover also boasts long sleeves and fitted cuffs with gold toned hardware for a luxe-feeling finish. Zara paired hers with the matching trousers, a pair of chestnut Uggs and an autumnal scarf. She wore her hair half up to reveal some gold statement earrings which made the otherwise laid back look appear more polished and put-together.
The co-ord comes following the success of one of her first collections best-sellers, the cream tracksuit. Taking to Instagram, Zara raved about how beautiful the fabric was, calling it “like velvet to the touch” and adding that the scuba tracksuit had already become one of the staple pieces in her Rise brand.
The £35 jumper has already been receiving praise from shoppers, with one commenting: “I purchased the top and bottoms in this set. They’re both gorgeous material, really comfy and the bottoms are warmer than expected. I’m 5ft 9 with specifically long legs and the trousers fit me – these things never do!
“The top is a little shorter than I’d like but not too bad considering. The sizing is pretty accurate, they’re true to size but if in doubt with the top size up if you maybe want a little bit more length as it’s not excessively baggy otherwise.”
“ Lovely material and colour ,” wrote a second. “Fits the well, feels like it will wear and last well too. Only minor disappointment is that it’s almost impossible for the collar to stand up like it does in the photo with model… there’s not enough rigidity in the material.”
The brand new Rise Black Label collection launched at New Look in November and consists of slouchy streetwear tracksuits, cosy knit separates and figure-hugging sculpt sets, with sizes ranging from 8-22 . Prices start from £20 up to £45, and have been designed to empower women of all ages with its wearable, inclusive and versatile pieces.
Speaking about the range, Zara said: “Creating Rise Black Label has been a dream and vision since Rise was born back in 2022. After the fantastic response to our white label this year, I am excited to launch the Black label which has enabled us to elevate styles and fabrics. We’ve been adventurous with shapes and cuts, but kept it tonal so you can still mix and match pieces.
“Some of our core fabrics have been elevated further, and I’m so excited for people to be able to feel the love that has gone into carefully selecting these. We are incredibly proud to announce New Look as our first online retail partner; I’m a huge fan of the brand and how their clothes cater for so many on all levels. I know that Rise will sit so well as part of the New Look family and I am incredibly grateful to have them as part of the Rise journey.”
Zara isn’t the only celeb launching new fashion ranges lately. Michelle Keegan, who recently announced her pregnancy, unveiled her latest collection with Very that’s packed full of everything from sequin-covered partywear pieces to cosy winter essentials like knitwear and denim.
Meanwhile, ITV fashion expert Mark Heyes, who regularly appears on Lorraine, has launched a ‘Chosen by Mark’ collection at Roman. It stars some of the retailer’s best styles this season, including dresses, tops, trousers, coats and more.
