Fashion People in NYC Just Found a New Shoe Color Trend That Makes "Basic" Minidresses Feel So Fresh
I just spotted Molly Gordon dressing up her minidress with this elegant shoe trend while in NYC. Discover her easy city styling here.

It’s officially minidress season—the time of year when your hemlines rise along with the temperatures. But if your go-to dresses are starting to feel a little too familiar, there’s an easy way to make them feel brand-new again: textured white pumps.
This chic shoe trend is gaining momentum, recently spotted on The Bear star Molly Gordon, who wore a pair in NYC with a boho-inspired purple Chloé minidress. The combination felt effortlessly fresh, proving that simply swapping basic black flats or heels for this trend can completely elevate your look.

Textured shoes—think mesh, lace, eyelet, or tulle—bring instant dimension to an otherwise simple outfit. When paired with a minidress, they break up the silhouette and add an unexpected visual twist, whether you’re styling a classic LBD or a romantic, billowy number. With that said, keep scrolling to discover Gordon's pretty street style look and the pieces needed to re-create it.
