You can never go wrong with a pair of classic chucks—I wore them in middle school and you'll still catch me wearing them today. They pair well with longer lengthed dresses that hit at the ankle.

Even if you're wearing cowboy boots underneath a long dress, just the sharp pointed toe already adds a cool-girl element to your fit. I personally love the taller versions, but the shorter ones are growing on me slowly.

Back when vacations were a thing, dad sandals were all I wore with dresses. I haven't found a shoe that beats the comfort level on these.

If you're looking to add a little edge to your look, this is the way to do it. I love the juxtaposition of a chunky stomper boot with a feminine dress.

I didn't think this one through till recently when I spotted chunky loafers all over the fashion scene and thought I'd give it a try with dresses. SInce they're usually paired with more structured pieces, I think they add a contrast to the flow of a dress.

Slouchy knee-high boots look effortless yet elevated in the best way possible. It could be a bare leg moment with a mini dress or a subtle peek under a maxi dress looks just as good too.

If you still want a dressed-up element with a heel, I'd recommend a strappy sandal over a stiletto or a pump. They're comfier than they look, and they're clearly very loved by fashion girls everywhere.
