It's no secret that we come to Zara for a multitude of things. Spring sandals? Zara. Breezy dresses? Zara. Easy basics? Zara. You get the picture. However, there are also a few things we would never really search for at the fast-fashion retailer, and evening wear is one of them. That is, until now. Just recently, Zara launched an exciting new verticle called Dress Time that services its fanciest customer.
This new category not only has the most stunning evening and cocktail dresses, but it also offers all the bags, shoes, and jewelry to go with them. Today, we're going to focus on the dresses—21 of them, to be exact. After sifting through the overwhelming amount of extremely fancy, new products, we narrowed our favorites down to a whopping 21 dresses that you should absolutely consider for your next formal event. So far, we're talking silk gowns, organza minis, and sequined everything, but if we know Zara like we think we do, this category will only get stronger and stronger as time goes on.
