There's a New It Dress That's Suddenly Everywhere—and You Can Find It at Zara

This has been the year of the it dress, as instead of handbags or shoes, it's dresses that are reaching cult status and selling out. There is a new style that is hard-to-track down — a sleeved knitted dress with a rollneck and dramatic slit on one leg by cult label Jacquemus. You'd be forgiven for thinking an ankle-length rollneck jumper would look a little frumpy, but it's surprisingly slinky thanks to the open slit. The dress comes in a red wine, rust and black colour, and it's hard to find any still in stock. Thankfully Zara is also embracing the knitted dress trend, if you can't find a Jacquemus 'Baya' dress. Keep scrolling to see how the fashion crowd is wearing the dress — and shop more.
