The Zara suit that’ll take you to your Christmas party and beyond

What is it about the office Christmas do that brings out a gal's competitive side?

Nothing like the festive season for making us up our glam. Whether we admit it or not, we'll all be hoping to be best dressed on the night (even if only in our own heads). Suits have been one of the biggest trends of 2017 and we've a feeling they won't be going anywhere for a while. Of all of the fab options out there at the moment, this Zara one is by far one of our faves. Simply put, this just looks expensive. The mossy green colour, the deep velvet, the flared leg - you'd fool anyone into thinking you'd spent hundreds on this. At €89.95 for the blazer and €59.95 for the trousers, you couldn't call it cheap but compared to some of the flimsy looking two-pieces on the high street, it is special enough to spend a bit on. If you don't have quite enough cash to justify it, there are plenty of other velvet ones out there.
