When the thermometer climbs above 30 degrees, choosing the right look can become quite a challenge. But while deciding what to wear in relentless heat isn’t easy, we’re lucky to have some infallible allies: dresses.
Fresh and versatile, dresses alone can solve 90% of our outfits, allowing us to handle even the hottest days with ease. However… there’s a catch. It involves the remaining 10%, which is the shoes.
The possible combinations are numerous, so it’s crucial to identify the truly winning matches, the ones you can rely on whenever ideas run low.
We’ve done the dirty work for you, studying temperatures and dress codes, peeking at runway styles, and discovering the coolest street style ideas. The result? 7 mix-and-match outfits with shoes and dresses to try now and flaunt all summer long.
Ready to take note?
Crochet Dress + Ballet Flats
What would summer be without a crochet dress? Crochet garments are a timeless classic that never gets old and are perfect not just for the beach. Pair them with ballet flats to tone down their “vacation” vibe and make them ideal even for sweltering city days.
Floral Dress + Gladiator Sandals
Another great classic of the season is the floral dress. Midi, mini, or maxi, with or without sleeves, it suits any occasion and pairs perfectly with gladiator sandals. A combination that works for both day and night.
Long Dress + Sneakers
Timeless and infallible, the mix of a long dress and sneakers is a summer outfit that plays with contrasts, combining practicality and style. Wear it all day long.
Mini Dress + Mules
A summer “must-have” is at least one linen dress. We’re in love with this white Mango model with a deep neckline. Try it with a pair of brightly colored mules or clogs to make it fascinating.
Shirt Dress + Birkenstocks
Whether your agenda includes shopping with friends to catch sales or a weekend getaway, a shirt dress and a pair of flat sandals are just what you need to save the look.
Denim Dress + Espadrilles
Wedge espadrilles with ankle laces are not only a beloved summer trend but also the perfect shoes to enhance mini dresses. Especially with stretch denim versions for an unmistakable Nineties vibe.
Satin Dress + Flower Sandals
We end with a newly blossomed but already strong pair: the new flower-adorned sandals paired with a satin midi dress. Cute and stylish!
Feel free to mix and match these outfits to fit your summer style and make the most of every sunny day.
