Is it just me or is it even too hot for shorts sometimes? Honestly, who needs a thick waistband when you can wear a breezy, comfortable dress? I don’t consider myself a big dress wearer, but it never fails that every time June rolls around, I suddenly become someone who wears dresses (at least a few times a month, that is). But since summer dress outfits are so very simple, the key to a great summer dress outfit is the shoes you wear with it. That’s where I come in.
While you could just grab your casual dress of choice and throw on the first pair of summer shoes you see, you’d be just fine, but there are many, many different types of summer shoes and many, many different types of casual summer dresses to wear with them, so I’m here to provide a little guidance in case you happen to love any of the 13 beautiful dresses featured below. Keep scrolling to shop the combinations you’re sure to love as much as I do.
