The much-anticipated warm(ish) weather of spring is finally here, which means now is the perfect time to start crafting your new-season capsule. But when it comes to anchoring your newly-minted outfits, a minimalist mesh Mary-Jane or preppy driving loafer aren’t the only options to consider.
Navigating the fluctuating temperatures of spring calls for both form and function. Enter: stylish, yet casual sneakers to wear with dresses – from silken slips to floral frocks. The outfit pairing is a no-brainer for both weekend and office-wear, or, indeed, any upcoming holiday excursions.
Dresses from Staud, Toteme and Mango, for example, will look effortless when worn with Nikes or Adidas, while Simkhai’s sleek shirt dress pairs well with New Balance trainers or retro sneakers from Dries Van Noten.
Below, shop the best sneakers to wear with dresses.
