These Under-$100 Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M Dresses Are Seriously Stunning
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.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
