In my opinion, a dress with sandals is about as classic a combo as it gets once the weather gets warm. They're springtime staples, and as soon as the temperature hits 75°, they're the only two items I want to wear. However, considering I've already exhausted most of the pairings in my own closet in seasons past, it's safe to say I've been needing a little inspiration as of late.
Thankfully, the IG gods heard my cry and provided me with five of the chicest dress-and-sandal pairings I've come across so far this spring. From vacation outfit ideas to Barbie-inspired nighttime attire, I've got all your dressing dilemmas solved. The only thing left to do is perhaps indulge in a fresh pedicure. Scroll away!
1. A Camisole Dress With Colorful Mules
A silky tank dress is an unbelievably easy throw-on item for when the weather gets warm. Pair it with mules in a statement color and you've got a seriously enviable outfit.
2. A Romantic Minidress With Braided Slides
An airy white minidress is a tropical-vacay prerequisite. Keep it classic by accessorizing with a pair of neutral slides.
3. A Cutout Midi Dress With White Thong Sandals
If you're looking for a dress that can go from day to night, a black midi with cutouts is it. Keep it laid-back yet interesting with some bright-white thong sandals.
4. A Ruched Body-Con With Lace-Up Heeled Sandals
For drinks with friends or a date night, I like the idea of opting for a '90s-style body-con dress with a square neck like Chrissy has above. Heeled lace-up sandals keep it sexy while lending an edge.
5. A Bold-Colored Mini With PVC Mules
Nothing says "fun" like a barely-there pink minidress and PVC mules. Nothing.
