The Zara Party Shoes No One In Our Office Can Understand

Zara just launched an entire section dedicated to party dressing called "Dress Time", and amongst the sequin dresses and metallic midi skirts is a new, rather confusing, shoe hybrid we've never seen before. These shoes are black suede slingbacks that have an in-built black sock and sequin leg warmer. This is taking the sock boot trend one step further, by having shoes with complete with their own socks.
If you're not sold on the sock boot slingbacks, there are number of other party items that we are sure you will get behind. Whether you're hoping to wear head-to-toe sequins this December or have a more elegant, subtle approach to eveningwear, you will be able to do all your shopping in one speedy lunchtime browse. Keep scrolling to see what Zara thinks you should wear to your parties this year.
