I Love to Wear Dresses With Boots—4 Outfits I'm Copying This Spring
I have said time and again that I could not be more excited for spring and summer as well as the warm weather the seasons bring, but as I started putting away my sweaters and coats from the winter, I noticed that I wasn't ready to hide away my boots. I love great boots, and I was determined to figure out a way to still wear them throughout the warmer seasons. Then it clicked for me: The easiest way to give my boots a little longevity is to style them with spring dresses. I'm a huge fan of dresses and boots, so I immediately went on a deep dive for all of the dress-and-boot styling inspo I could find.
Four looks were so good and so easy to wear that they stood out among the rest. Keep scrolling to see which four boot-and-dress looks I can't wait to re-create this spring and summer.
Body-Con Mini + Knee-High Boots
This look is simple, sexy, and classic and a fresh way to wear your favorite body-con. I love how Cass opted for a mixed neutral color palette for her dress and boots, making this look feel extra New York. My favorite thing about this look is how easy it is. If you looked in your closet, you'd likely have a trusty body-con and a favorite pair of knee-high boots, but not to worry—I've found some new options you're going to lose it over.
Baby-Doll Dress + Chunky Boots
I'm not usually the type to love a chunky-boot outfit, but there's something about the contrast between the daintiness of a baby-doll dress paired with the edginess of the chunky boots that I really like. Also, NYC is not the best place in the world to wear open-toed shoes, so I'm loving this closed-toe alternative.
Linen Minidress + Knee-High Boots
I'm planning on wearing this outfit combination all summer. I'm a huge fan of a great linen dress, and styling one with a chic pair of boots is the perfect city-girl way to wear linen. I picture myself wearing this look on a Sunday to go grab frosé with my friends.
Printed Dress + Flat Boots
Imani hit it out of the park with this look. This outfit combo is all about letting the dress be the star of the show, and the boots are simply the supporting cast. A great printed dress is the perfect way to stand out, and if you're not in a heel mood, try flat boots instead.
