These 8 Shoes Go With Every Single Dress

If there's one thing we know our readers are buying right now, it's dresses. Whether it's a floral tea dress or a polka-dot wrap, it seems we're all a little obsessed. The best thing about this season's key styles is you can wear them to your best friend's wedding or on a Sunday afternoon to your local pub. The easiest way to make your midis work for both occasions is all down to the footwear—swap tennis shoes for a midi heel and your dress can work for an entirely different dress code.

One of the questions we get asked the most at Who What Wear is what shoes look best with dresses. There are certain classic choices that will go with every dress in your wardrobes, such as white pumps, leather sliders and wedge espadrilles. Then there are some more 'fashion' choices that can be just as versatile, including velcro sandals and chunky trainers. Keep scrolling to see the shoe-and-dress formulas that go together like gin and tonic.

Look best with: Minis, maxis and midis... this is the one pair of shoes that goes with any dress.

One way to wear your fancy dresses you might otherwise only wear for weddings is to pair them with a pair of flat tennis shoes, like Lucy Williams with her Vejas. 

Look best with: Cocktail dresses, evening gowns and midi dresses.

For weddings or smarter occasions, you can't go wrong with a strappy sandal, as these really do go with any dress, whether it's a midi wrap, a full-length gown or something a little more casual.

This might be an unconventional choice, but if you like to go for a statement and to toughen up your pretty dresses, follow the lead of the Copenhagen girls and wear your dresses with chunky Dad trainers. The more colourful, the better.
