Zara’s brand new collection is seen by some fashionistas as the perfect choice for Halloween. Contrasting T-shirt and vest consists of a simple white T-shirt and a dark khaki knitted cardigan over it.
For the affordable price of £25.99, this is a steal that you can easily wear on days when you’re looking for a casual and comfortable outfit – or just want to look like Shrek.
The two-piece suit is available in sizes S, M and L. The fit is relaxed and the styling possibilities are endless.
However, one customer of the retailer, known on TikTok only as Georgie, had a different idea: when she first saw the garments, she immediately thought of the green ogre.
The English shopper told the popular platform that Zara had launched a ‘new Shrek line’ and caused hilarity among people with his discovery.
The young woman posed in the dressing room wearing a white T-shirt and a khaki vest and mimicked the iconic Shrek roar as her friend filmed her.
The olive green knitted cardigan matched perfectly with the khaki linen pants and her brown locks in two cute buns.
“Shreksy,” Georgie wrote in the caption of the now viral clipwhich has been viewed no less than 1.5 million times.
According to the customer, her partner was initially eager to make the purchase, but Georgie convinced her to leave the items in the store.
“My girlfriend thought it was cute and I stopped her.”
Hundreds of social media users burst into laughter as they rushed to express their opinions.
A fashion lover said: “I was thinking the exact same thing like, who wears this?”
A Zara employee laughed at the iconic Shrek reference, writing: “This is my swamp!”

“Wait, I have to buy it for Halloween,” a third was eager to purchase the two-piece costume.
