Spring is coming and Zara is dropping a number of beautiful new dresses all the time. To save you the trouble, I’ve looked through them all and shortlisted the best of the bunch right here. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to recommend a dress for a special occasion, and my reply is always the same. It might seem like the most obvious choice, but there’s a reason why Zara’s are probably the most popular dresses on the planet.

Zara has always been known for its affordability but they also offer beautiful, timeless dresses fit for literally any occasion and this season theirs blow the rest of the high street out of the water. When you’re shopping at affordable brands, there’s always the risk of turning up somewhere to find someone else in the same outfit. That’s why you have to make it your own with the help of accessories. Never underestimate their power!

But honestly, the risk is totally worth it. You don’t need millions of dresses, just a few really good ones and the choice is almost endless at Zara. If you don’t have the energy to scroll through their huge selection, I don’t blame you. Luckily it’s my job, so I’ve done it for you. I’ve found a number of beautiful dresses from the brand that really stand out, including blazer, metallic, strapless, knitted, sequin, denim and tulle dresses.
