Summer dresses are so beautiful and feminine. Women often ask what shoes to wear with their dresses. There are a few style rules I’ll share to make shoe selections fast and easy for your summer dresses.

For shoe style rules, it’s all about balance. Balancing the look and of the dress with the shoe will enhance and not overwhelm.

Strappy or sleeveless dresses look best with open shoe styles. A flat or higher heel both work to dress up or down.

Neutral or black sleeveless dresses follow the same shoe style rules, keep the shoe open but coordinate the color closer to the dress.

Bright dresses with sleeves are best balanced with shoes that have more foot coverage to balance the proportion. Great color choices are neutrals or metallic. When bright is mixed with black, a black shoe works well best.

White dresses look great when paired with neutral or metallic color shoes.

For maxi length dresses, keep the heel height flat, with an open sandal for a feminine summer look!
