Zara launched its F/W 18 collection last week, and just five days later, one of its pieces is already trending. The $119 brown minidress—which has a revealing lace-up front, puffed sleeves, and ruched fabric—is certainly going to divide crowds. In our Facebook shopping group, one of our readers asked about this dress: "My flatmate and sister hate this. … But should I buy it?!" The comments ranged from "Love!" to "Omg, this is a noughties nightmare." This has already become an "Instagram dress," as influencers such as Rikke Krefting and Isabella Thordsen have been wearing this chocolate-colored mini. Brown is one of the key colors for fall—from mahogany to coppery shades—and minidresses are set to make a big comeback come September.
