Summer Floral Dress With Sleeves
While jeans are the ride-or-die go-to, dresses automatically look way more considered, giving some sartorial oomph to your day and making even the mundane feel special. But what if you’re headed to brunch and it’s a hike? Or you have to make it across town via 2.5 modes of public transportation? What if you’re just going to the grocery store, but dammit you want to wear a dress? Utilitarian isn’t a word normally associated with dresses (or skirts)—they can have a prissy reputation for sure—but that’s where sneakers come in. The high-low mix of pairing a dress with sneaks is fresh, unexpected, and ultra attention-grabbing. It’s like a second life for your favorite lady-ish looks. Cop some new styling ideas below.
PREP SCHOOL
We’re taking back the uniform with an updated version of school-girl staples—and this time you won’t land in detention for blowing the dress code. If you’ve done your homework, you know that the most interesting outfits score an A+ for the mix, however subtle: Worn-in sneakers offset a preppy button-down shirt and kicky A-line skirt (as short as you want), and a pair of sheer, patterned anklet socks is like finishing school for your look.
SHIRT, SHOES, PARTY
A stylish shirtdress is what we like to call an instant look; throw one on and you’re pretty much good to go. All that’s left is the shoes. When you’re working with a multi-colored frock, pick one shade and bring it to life on your feet with a pair of Chuck Taylors, which come in a rainbow-worthy range.
SKORTING THE ISSUE
With its throwback vibes (who didn’t own one back in the day?), we predict that this will be the year of the skort (skirt + shorts, if somehow you missed out on this most major of fashion moments). An ultra-short skort gives you ample chance to show off some leg—and a pair of classics. Anything low-slung and low-profile is the play: Puma Suedes, Vans Old-Skools, or Keds.
LONG STORY
Tone down the formal feel of a floor-grazing maxidress with a sneaker in a similar shade. The result? A mix that’s dramatic, but still laid back.PUMASuede
MID RANGE
Midi-length dresses and high-top sneakers were made to be BFFs. A pair of Chucks (Vans Sk8-His would work too) give some much-needed edge to an otherwise modest look—a great way to update those oversize thrift-store shifts you just can’t stop buying. A cool jacket—jean, suede, leather—helps too.
COLOR COORDINATED
Rather than letting your shoes be an afterthought, start there and let them shape your outfit. Taking color inspo from a pair of Adidas Superstars results in a graphic black-and-white getup mixing patterns (stars and stripes) and materials.
SHORT & SWEET
A body-hugging silhouette, high hemline, and off-the-shoulder sleeves would be too “too” with a pair of heels—at least for daytime hangs. But high-top Vans lend a cool feel that’s relaxed and sooo SoCal it’s board-worthy.
CHECK, CHECK, CHECK
A genius hack for elongating your legs and keeping comfortable? Go for a leg-baring mini and low-cut pair of sneakers like these Vans Authentics that hits below your ankle. Together, the two make your stems look extra lengthy.
BACK TO BASICS
A simple dress that’s nipped at the waist creates a figure-flattering silhouette, while its single shade ensures that all eyes will be on your footwear. Make sure they’re up to the attention by opting for a chunky, substantial pair—New Balances, Sauconys, Reeboks.
LAYER LAYER PANTS ON FIRE
Layering keeps a look interesting from your head (think a simple slip dress over a vintage T, under your favorite jean jacket) to your toes (folded socks and a classic pair of high-top Chucks).
MONOCHROME MAGIC
The introduction of sneakers can bring an out-of-bounds outfit back down to earth, like a monochrome look built around one super hue—like stoplight red. The trick here is playing with texture: a short skirt in a pattern and a graphic tee keep things interesting.
