The gorgeous €40 Zara dress to buy now and keep for party season

The €40 Zara dress that's the frontrunner for our favourite new-season bargain.

Autumn winter fashion has arrived and honestly, we're finding it difficult to control our excitement. From statement boots (hello snake print) to cosy coats - the teddy bear is back... we pretty much want everything and now we just have to figure out which pieces are actually worth the spend. Thankfully, we're here to help with that and one piece we're very much into is this fab €40 Zara dress. It's the Metallic Thread Dress and for €39.95, we're very much on board with this particular purchase. Pairing it with barely-there sandals and a pretty bag would make for the perfect party season look but the beauty of this piece is the fact that you could also wear it casually. Add a leather jacket and your favourite runners, the perfect chic casual look that we just adore. It's a timeless piece too which ensures the €40 Zara dress is one you'll buy now and have for years to come and we love the fact that you can adjust the tie detail to your personal preference. The subtle sparkle adds to the piece, making it the perfect party look and we're already starting to get excited about festive gatherings. Oh and if you're looking out for new shoes, you have to see Zara's square-toed sandals - we are next-level obsessed. They are the Leather High Heels Sandals with Square Toes and as you'll see below, they're seriously chic. The shoe of the season comes in black and white and both are due to be fully restocked soon, any day now judging by the 'Coming Soon' message that features on the website. The style of this shoe is super flattering, those thin straps and square toe effect, and you can wear them with pretty much everything - jeans, dresses, culottes, midi skirts and the list goes on. If you want them, get yourself over to the Zara website asap...
