Not Flip-Flops, Not Flats—It Girls in NYC Are Wearing Summer's #1 Dress Trend With the Boots That Come Back Every Fall
The simple shoe swap to make if you want to extend the shelf life of your prettiest dresses.
While it's easy to assume that there's a line between your summer and fall wardrobes, the best dressed people know that the two can happily coexist for those in-between months of August and September—provided you know how to style the pieces together. Today, we're getting a master class in transitional dressing by none other Dua Lipa, whose most recent outfit consisting of a polka-dot halter dress from Réalisation and black knee-high boots is a great example of how chic people will be getting dressed next month.
Lipa was spotted heading into NYC's famed Electric Lady Studios for the zillionth time this week, prompting fans to speculate about a fourth studio album in the making. While most of us would think to pair a pretty polka-dot dress with ballet flats or flip-flops, the pop star's simple shoe swap is actually kind of genius because it can extend the shelf life of all your prettiest dresses into the fall. She opted for a classic pair of black leather knee-high boots, a style that keeps returning year after year.
Ahead, see how Dua Lipa styled the season's biggest dress trend with boots and shop polka-dot dresses and knee-high boots to replicate her summer-to-fall look.
