I'm a dress-obsessed fashion editor, so naturally, at this time of the year, shopping for dresses is one of my favorite things to write about, talk about, and partake in, of course. Before summer hits, I'm keen to get my hands on several chic styles for everything from vacation to everyday dressing. Since I'm on a budget this season (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've listed 40 absolute stunners that are a cut above the rest. From trending A-line silhouettes to boho styles and of-the-moment butter-yellow hues, you'll find a style to suit every occasion.
Keep scrolling for the crème de la crème of Zara dresses for spring and summer.
