The Zara Website Is a Treasure Trove of Dress-and-Boots Outfit Ideas

This month the one thing that our readers can't seem to get enough of is dress-and-boots outfit ideas. You might think that this is a rather exhaustive topic, but we've managed to find so many new combos to keep writing about. The place that is giving our editors the most inspiration—beyond the typical midi and knee-high boots double act—is the Zara website. At Zara HQ, there are 15 studio sets where each styling team shoots 20 looks per day. This means that styling is something that is taken very seriously at this high-street retailer, and it is always a source of fresh outfit ideas for shoppers and editors alike.
When it comes to boot trends this year, Zara is definitely backing two trends, in particular: track-sole chunky boots and slouchy over-the-knee boots. You'll find that the stylists pair these boots with almost every dress style on Zara. The most-used pair of boots by the styling team right now seems to be the £159 Blue Collection snake-effect leather boots, followed by the £119 lace-up track-sole boots.
Keep scrolling to see and shop the eight dress-and-boots combos I'm loving from Zara right now.
1. Colourful Jumper Dress + Knee-High Boots
2. Pleated Midi Skirt + Track Sole Boots
3. Minidress + Slouch Boots
4. Printed Long-Sleeve Mini + Over-the-Knee Boots
5. T-Shirt Dress + Chunky Boots
6. Spotted Mesh Dress + Square-Heel Boots
7. Polka-Dot Dress + Heel Boots
8. Oversized Dress + Track-Sole Boots
