The $70 Zara Dress That Will Get You Through The Holidays, Unscathed

Between traveling, gift giving, and social gatherings, this time of year can be costly. And, that's not even accounting for the outfits you'll need to buy for the parties stacking up on your social calendar. Luckily, the current offering of Zara holiday dresses is filled with luxe looking styles that don't cost a fortune — so you can scoop up a couple of frocks without diving too deep into your budget.

Whether you're shopping for a family gathering, a cocktail party, or a more formal soiree, Zara's newest arrivals are a treasure-trove of holiday outfit inspiration. Right now, the wallet-friendly retailer has a wide offering of dresses that are sure to turn heads. From shimmering, sparkly numbers to modern, eye-catching silhouettes, there's a little something for everyone in the mix.

If you tend to opt for black dresses and leave the color to your accessories and makeup, there are several elevated options to take note of, including this puff-sleeve, knit mini dress for under $70. But, if you're after a style with a longer hemline, then you'll want to set your eyes on this one-shoulder style, $49.90, which brings a special twist to a simple midi-dress with its ruffled asymmetric neckline.

Of course, it wouldn't be the holidays without sequins, and Zara has quite a few pieces that'll have you glistening at gatherings this season. Begin by scoping out this elegant, midi-length, navy sequin slip dress for $69.90 and this sophisticated, black sequin draped style priced at $119. However, if you're eager to add a little color to your look, take a peek at this short-sleeve, multi-colored sequin mini for $69.90.

Meanwhile, if you've been on the hunt for velvet silhouettes, you'll find Zara has several styles you can get your hands on for a low cost, including this Velvet Mini Dress for $49.90. Coming in a deep green hue, the dress can be paired with a set of knee-high boots for daytime casual affairs and styled with sparkly, barely-there sandals for evening soirées.
