Everyone’s summer shoe vibe is very different. While some people live each and every day in sandals of some sort, others prefer a more closed-toe situation consisting of sneakers, boots, loafers, and the like. All of the above are more than welcome in a summertime wardrobe so long as you have the right counterparts for them. I’ve recently had quite a few friends come to me asking about which shoes to wear with dresses, and after much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that minidresses are among the most versatile dress lengths around (at least for right now).
Considering that knee-high boots paired with bare legs and short hemlines continue to trend, minidresses have proven to look the best with the widest variety of shoe styles. The below, in particular, are frocks that I believe can really do the most in terms of styling. So whether you love sneakers, sandals, heels, or boots, buy any of the minidresses below, and you’ll have absolutely no issues pairing your favorite footwear with your new purchase.
