To some, summer is swimsuit season. To others, it's rosé season or picnic season. But for some, all that matters is that it's white dress season. Nothing says summer to me quite like a white dress. And because they're such a blank canvas, there's a lot you can do to make a white dress feel fresh each summer. One of those things is switching up your shoes.
Shoe color trends are a thing, and you'd be remiss not to wear some of this season's most popular colors (or most reliable neutrals) with your favorite white dress. The six shoe colors below are a mix of classic shades and trendy hues—and all of them look amazing with white dresses. Shoes in these popular colors abound on the market, but I found the chicest ones (as one does when they're a Who What Wear editor). Scroll to shop them and some of my favorite white dresses for summer 2023, including the Reformation dress featured alongside each shoe color trend.
Silver shoes are one of the top shoe trends of 2023. They're also the perfect way to dress up a white dress. Wear this combination day or night.

While a white dress worn with pink shoes can feel a bit saccharine, there are a ton of cool pink shoes on the market right now that look chic and sophisticated when paired with white dresses.
A white dress paired with shoes in any shade of white is a summertime no-brainer. Don't worry about matching—I think it's more interesting when you choose a slightly different shade of white, as seen here.

Like silver, red is another color the fashion crowd has fallen in love with this season. Plus, red shoes make a white dress feel completely different (in a good way).

If you prefer a more subtle option that allows your dress to stand out, tan shoes will help you to achieve that.

Pairing bright pool-blue shoes with a white dress is a combination that's about as summery as it gets. I love this pairing for vacation.
