There are fashion combinations that work. Wearing sneakers with a dress is possible and even recommended to achieve a cool and light look this summer.

Because we want to walk comfortably on these sunny days while wearing a pretty dress, we choose a nice pair of sneakers that will complement your summer outfits and allow you to walk, run, and basically be free. Because yes, wearing sneakers with a dress is trendy and sexy.

Which dress for which sneakers? I’ll tell you everything in this article. All that’s left is for me to wish you a wonderful summer with your lovely sneakers on your feet!

Sneakers + Dress: The Winning Combo

Sneakers worn simply with a summer dress are definitely a winning combination.

Are you hesitating between two pairs? Well, don’t hesitate any longer and get both. Indeed, if you want to treat yourself, go for a first pair of simple, sturdy white sneakers that are timeless. For your second pair, dare to add a bit of originality by incorporating a splash of color, for example.

Wearing sneakers with a dress also allows you to show off your tanned legs under a short outfit without fearing to tip into vulgarity or to feel uncomfortable. Admit it, we’ve all found ourselves feeling awkward in an outfit that’s too sexy while balancing on heels.

What’s sexy is your confidence, not the fact of wearing heels or having gazelle-like legs!

Wearing Sneakers with a Dress, Yes, But Which Dress?

• The Long Dress

The combination of black and white works wonders with a two-tone long dress and timeless sneakers like Vans. Add a summer accessory like a wicker basket, or a fancy cup in hand, for example, the Yves Saint-Laurent coffee cup that we tested at the eponymous café in Paris. Personally, I’m a fan of this authentic and trendy look that stands out while remaining simple and comfortable.

• The Prairie Dress

Because we want to feel good in the summer and embrace a country outfit for strolling around town, the prairie dress is here and lives up to its name.

Wider at the bottom, light and loose, it is colorful and joyful. We wear it with soft and slim white sneakers or, on the contrary, we can opt for thicker platform white sneakers.

• The Short Dress

What’s as sexy as a short dress with heels? A short dress without heels!

We love wearing sneakers with a short, even really mini dress because we can feel ultra-feminine and comfortable at the same time.

We adore the fresh floral pattern of this outfit. The sneakers bring a cool and relaxed vibe. We can have fun reviving the 2000s by choosing a pair of slightly old school sporty sneakers that will add a charming vintage effect to the outfit.

• The Midi Dress

The midi dress that reveals the calves or ankles is perfect for showcasing beautiful sneakers or for breaking up your outfit with a more original pair that catches the eye.

I love the contrast between the leopard print dress, the well-thought-out jewelry, and the sporty sneakers with laces. Besides being super comfortable for walking along the beach all day, they add contrast to the look.

What Type of Sneakers to Choose?

• The Color

Basic is beautiful. White is the perfect color to go with all your outfits. Naturally, black also pairs well with everything.

You can also choose to wear a colorful or patterned pair with a white dress, for example.

• Platform Sneakers

They have the advantage of adding a few extra centimeters that will elongate the legs while being super comfortable.

I am absolutely a fan of platform sneakers that go with all dresses, from the minis to the chicest.

• Sport Sneakers

You don’t need to play sports to wear sneakers with a dress.

This isn’t an intuitive combination and yet, you will be trendy this summer with your sneakers on and your lovely dress.
