Neither Zara, nor Mango: the short dresses ideal to combine with high boots in September (and fall 2026) are available in H&M

Posted on 30 August 2026

Although there are still days of summer ahead, the drop in temperatures this week has put the focus on fall fashion. We no longer want to find some very discounted sandals at the final auction (although on the other hand, it would be very smart for next year), but rather to find that versatile garment that we can wear now and reuse in autumn with closed shoes.

Dresses are usually our favorites for this type of looks, especially the short ones that lend themselves to layering easily, combining perfectly with pants underneath and trendy sneakers if you want to be trendy, or with cowboy boots or minimalist high boots for the most classic ones. At H&M we find a selection of short dresses of this type that are so beautiful and versatile that they look like they are from Zara, but they are much cheaper, yes.

Five short H&M dresses that look like Zara

H&M

This slip dress with ruffles is pure boho-chic aesthetics that will save us from several looks between now and the winter cold. Combine with an overshirt, with a denim or leather biker jacket and even with a knitted maxi cardigan. If we add a long multiple necklace, some mini braids in the front part of the hair and some high boots, we have the textbook folk look. It is available for 29.99 euros.

HM Sezane

H&M

Now that Sézane has lost its romantic essence and has positioned itself in favor of the clean look in its latest collection, we want more than ever to opt for a dress with a Parisian and bohemian essence like this one from H&M for 29.99 euros. A design that we can wear today with espadrilles and that will be the best ally of high boots with a sensible heel in brown leather.

Denim Dress

H&M

Denim dresses are already a mid-season classic and this design with a flared skirt and corseted bodice is an ideal addition for being on-trend. In addition, it is very flattering by enhancing the waist and screams for a pair of high cowboy boots. It is available for 29.99 euros.

Pichi Dress

H&M

Another classic that never fails in autumn are short pinafore dresses. This particular one is reminiscent of the vests that were worn in the 70s and that is why it is pure trend. We can wear it alone or with a white blouse underneath (preferably with a bow) for 29.99 euros.

White Dress

H&M

The white dress is not leaving us this fall but it returns in a vaporous and romantic way, with ruffles and lace in the Chloé style. This mini design is perfect to combine with high boots (very high) between now and December for 39.99 euros.
