What Shoes to Wear with Maxi Dresses

What do you associate Maxi Dresses with? Summer? Of course! But definitely not formal occasions only! This summer is all about super long dresses, and we’re going to help you choose the perfect shoe style to wear them with.

Even though many women absolutely love maxi dresses, they are often in doubt when trying to choose the shoes to pair them with. Well, we are here to inform you that it’s not hard at all!

It is actually unbelievably simple – the shoe style depends on the look you’re going for. You can wear maxi dresses with literally any shoes – ballet flats, flip-flops, all star shoes, wedges, pumps, peep-toes, sandals…

Most maxi dresses are actually neutral, until you combine them with other items. The only thing that’s important is how you style them!

Ballet Flats / Flat Sandals

Wear flats if you’re heading to lunch with your beau wanting to look casual and feel comfortable. Pair you maxi dress with ballet flats or comfortable flat sandals.

In this case you should wear a comfy, even a bit baggy dress with a cute spring/summer print. Wear a pair of matching ballet flats or sandals and some accessories and you’ll be set to go!

Wedges

Wear wedges if you want to look trendy, fashionable, and definitely choose them if you want to be noticed!

If you’re going somewhere – shopping, for example, and you know it’s going to take a while, make sure you choose a comfortable pair of wedges you can walk in for hours, but also a comfy dress, especially if you’re shopping for clothes and need to try things on.

As usual, accessorize with some jewelry to spice things up.

Sky-high Pumps

Wear sky-high pumps if you’re going to a dinner party and want to look elegant and feel amazing. Start from a long, black dress. Choose a pair of elegant peep-toes – I am personally in love with each and every pair by Charlotte Olympia.

Accessorize with a matching clutch and a long necklace. If you’re planning on a really, really long night, wear a matching blazer in a neutral color.
