The Zara menswear lookbook for Fall/Winter 2009 shows a lot of formal, business and black tie friendly outfits. The dashing Djordje Bogdanovic stars in the campaign that sees a lot of classic charcoal and black suits some with a militaristic twist.
One of my favorite looks from the Zara menswear lookbook is a more casual dark grey blazer with no collar, paired here with a white t-shirt, perfectly worn-in grey jeans and black lace-up boots. Also, points for the use of a top hat.
