With the summer season officially upon us, dresses are on my mind (and probably yours, too). I've been keen to get my hands on a handful of 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 they have 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 mini dresses, you'll find a style to suit every occasion.
Keep scrolling for the crème de la crème of Zara dresses for spring/summer.
