A sleek pair of sandals or a bright white loafer aren’t the only ways to anchor a summer outfit idea. They may look elegant, but as the weather only continues to heat up, the need for both functionality and fashion is of the utmost importance. Enter the chic, yet casual sneaker to wear with anything and everything—from a crisp pair of linen trousers to festive floral frocks. Back to dresses and sneakers: The style pairing is a no-brainer when it comes to weekend wear, office wear, or on any upcoming travel explorations—after all, these shoes were made for walking. Dresses from La Ligne and Anine Bing, for example, will look refreshingly effortless when worn with Nikes or Adidas—the latter is especially celebrity-approved. Take Kendall Jenner, for example. The supermodel sticks to her signature minimalist style by pairing her ever-covetable Adidas Sambas with a figure-hugging frock. As for Emrata? The fashion darling prefers classic pairs of Supergas and Keds to wear with a simple LBD.
Not to mention that styling the combo is delightfully easy. You can combine the tried-and-true with the trending now, like a romantic midi dress from Dôen with a pair of Gucci sneakers or Reformation’s strapless denim number with Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza trainers. You could even take a festive approach and couple Faithfull The Brand’s green and white maxi dress with Adidas Gazelles to match. From a polished perspective, Loulou Studio’s buttery yellow shirtdress dress pairs perfectly well with a pair of Saint Laurent low-top sneakers, which feature just a hint of gold.
