How to pick the right shoe for your dress

Do you ever get caught up in what shoes to wear with the dress you want to wear? With so many summer styles to choose from, style expert Alexis Honce shared all the tips and tricks you need to get the perfect pairing every time. Watch the video clip above to steal her secrets and shop the looks from brands like Nordstrom and Massimo Dutti Shoes.

The Dad Sandal

These chunky double strap sandals were seen all over the runway this season, and if you love the lug boot you’ll love this summer option. It’s a heavier-looking shoe, so you need to balance them by showing some skin. Above-the-knee dresses work perfectly with them. Stay away from bright colours and go for neutrals to stay on-trend.

The Statement Strappy

Lace-up thin strap sandals are huge this summer. They give off a fun gladiator feel and are easy to wear with anything. We love these strappy options with a midi-length dress for extra oomph.
