The Best Shoes to Wear with a Spring or Summer Dress

With spring now in full swing and summer fast approaching, it’s time to grab your favorite casual dresses if you haven’t already. The ease and comfort of a simple-cut sundress is well appreciated, making them the perfect item for stylish outfits in warmer weather.

However, if there is one problem with sundresses, they’re difficult to pair with shoes – or, at least, that’s what we’re led to believe. The problem arises when trying to find a balance between the comfort of a favorite dress and what works for your situation. After all, what's the point of slipping on a comfy dress just to ruin the vibe with a pair of heels?

In today's blog, we’ll be looking at the best footwear you can wear when wearing a casual dress and how each item affects the resulting outfit – making it easier for you to find what works.

Sneakers

Nothing speaks casual-chic like a fresh pair of sneakers to go with a summer dress. Sneakers are hugely versatile pieces of footwear that can adapt to a variety of different conditions. A low-cut pair of sneakers can provide an ideal match for spring or summer outfits that want to keep things simple and straightforward.

Ideally, a pair of crisp white sneakers are the best suited to creating a bright, summery vibe. However, patterned sneakers are also perfect when creating a more playful and fun aesthetic.

Boots

Yes, boots are entirely possible as an addition to your spring or summer outfits. The added airiness of a dress gives you a lot of options when it comes to footwear, with the only caveat being a need to make sure you can still show off your legs.

Boots manage to achieve a lot of different goals at the same time, providing a rustic flair to your outfit and showing off your legs while providing a fantastic solid base for your outfit on those colder days.

Ankle Boots

Much like taller boots, ankle boots achieve many different goals that make them ideal for spring outfits focused on a single dress. Where ankle boots differ is their ability to create a whole different vibe from what is typically expected, with a quirkier look that feels playful and hipster-like.

Metallic Sandals/Flip Flops

Summer is all about embracing the sun's rays and getting the most from the warmer days; what better way to do that than with a reflective surface on your person!

Metallic sandals are ideal for summer as they keep your outfit light and cool while also infusing a bright and reflective vibe into the ensemble.

Leather Sandals

Much like metallic sandals, leather sandals keep a low profile that helps keep your outfit light and cool while maximizing the effect a great dress has on emphasizing your legs. While metallic sandals will often look to be admired with their dazzling textures, a pair of simple leather sandals will be far more level-headed and subdued.

If you're looking for some footwear that will keep you cool while giving your outfit plenty of space to shine, then a pair of leather sandals are ideal.
