I Scrolled Through Hundreds of Zara Dresses—These 33 Are a Cut Above the Rest


With summer still in full swing, dresses are on my mind (and probably yours, too). I've been keen to get my hands on chic options for everything from vacation to everyday dressing, for work and beyond. Since I'm on a budget this summer (I have a European vacation to plan, after all), I made a beeline to Zara and scrolled through hundreds of dresses to see what it has to offer. Of course, Zara never disappoints, and below I found 33 absolute stunners that are a cut above the rest. From trending A-line silhouettes to minimalist '90s styles and of-the-moment shift minidresses, you'll find a style to suit every occasion.
Keep scrolling for the crème de la crème of Zara dresses for spring/summer.
Everything from the neckline to the elongating bodice hits me just right.
Can you tell I'm really into shift minidresses right now? This one is chic with a capital C.
Butter yellow is huge this summer, and this dress is the perfect way to lean into the trend. I love this for an outdoor summer soirée.
