It’s the ultimate summer combo! A fail-safe pairing that can be styled in countless ways and worn any time of day or night. The “dress + sandals” duo never disappoints.
Even on rushed mornings, all it takes is opening your wardrobe, grabbing the first dress you see, and slipping on your favorite sandals to instantly pull together a 10/10 outfit.
Then just add the right accessories, and you’ve got an effortlessly flawless look, no stress required.
But how can you wear a dress and sandals in a stylish, glam way all summer long?
Given that we’re in peak wedding and event season, a refined silk dress paired with metallic heels is a winning formula for special occasions.
For everyday wear, two current wardrobe heroes have your back: a strapless polka dot dress with chunky-heeled mules, or a white dress paired with espadrille wedges for a fresh summer vibe.
Off-duty and weekend looks? Go for the classic “maxi dress + slide sandals” combo. It works whether you’re beach-bound or staying in the city.
Alternatively, try a “denim mini dress + flat sandals” for a casual-chic look that’s perfect for denim lovers, even in the summer heat.
