There's no time like the holiday season to snag a few new party dresses that you can also continue using throughout the rest of the year. And since I know we’re all knee-deep in gift buying, travel planning, restaurant going, or simply living, I figured I would see what I could find us for under $100 right now. Luckily, Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M delivered as always, and my roundup is as chic as if it had no budget at all—maybe even chicer.
From minis to maxis, LBDs to statement-making red stunners, below, you’ll find the best affordable dresses for every type of occasion and style. Whether you’re looking for something casual to wear with your favorite boots or something to impress your office crush at the upcoming holiday party, today I’ve got you covered for it all. Simply start scrolling to get started.
Zara
I know you were eyeing it.
In case you're wondering which I'll be ordering first.
Stunning.
Wear it to your next wedding.
The more belt buckles, the better.
You can wear this with anything from chunky boots to pumps.
No, we're not over rosettes just yet.
Such a pretty print.
It's the tonal print for me.
You know I love a good minidress.
H&M
Can't go wrong.
How to shine but still keep it neutral.
This would look so good under a tuxedo blazer, too.
You can't not look polished in this.
I'm into the subtle Y2K vibes.
Just a pretty dress.
You'll never tire of this neckline.
Bows and lace never miss.
The draping is everything.
Kitten heels would complement this perfectly.
Nordstrom
It's just so fun.
Accessories can easily dress this up or down.
Cosy but cute.
You'll get so much use out of this easy black dress.
The way they styled this dress with black accessories is so good.
Reviewers love it.
We love a tweed moment.
A seemingly simple black dress that's actually so full of little details that make it special.
Don't wear this if you don't want compliments.
Closing it out with a simple but flattering pick you'll always come back to!
