If Your Vibe Is Bottega Veneta But Your Budget Is H&M, This $75 Dress Is a Must

If you speak to any fashion editor about the dresses on their current wish list, they'll likely bring up some iteration of a halter-neck midi dress. The style has been gaining momentum for a while now, in large part due to Matthieu Blazy's Bottega Veneta collections, which have included the silhouette in a variety of colors and fabrications. Nipped-in waists, bubble hems, fringe details, and voluminous skirts are also features of his halter-neck frocks. Of course, an off-the-runway Bottega Veneta dress isn't exactly within everyone's budgets, and with the dress style in question trending right now, there isn't a ton of time to save up. Fortunately, I just stumbled upon a $75 alt that checks off similar trend boxes without the rather large investment. 

The dress in question comes courtesy of H&M's latest fall drop and is a black V-neck halter dress with an A-line shape and a fringed jacquard-pattern skirt. Did I mention that it's $75 and fully stocked? There's only one catch that I can think of, and that's the high likelihood of it selling out as soon as the masses find it hidden in the brand's nearly 1000-item new-arrivals section. That's why I made it extra easy to snag by linking straight to the dress below. You're welcome.
