Effortlessly Stylish:
Pairing a Floral Dress With Sneakers
Pairing a floral dress with sneakers, AKA runners in the States, is a comfortable style that combines femininity with a casual flair. Here are some tips to achieve a chic look with floral dresses and sneakers. Go on and pick your favourite style!
How to Style a Floral Dress with Sneakers: A Simple Guide
- Choose the Right Sneakers/Runners: Opt for clean, classic sneakers that complement the style of the dress. White sneakers are versatile and often work well with various floral patterns. My favourite is the classic white Converse as it just doesn’t date.
- Play with the height of the Sneakers/Runners Heel: What I like is that you can get a platform sneaker which looks great if you’d like some extra height, like I do.
- Contrast with Colors: If your floral dress has a lot of colours, consider sneakers in a neutral shade or a colour that contrasts nicely with the dress. This can add visual interest to the outfit.
- Dress Length Matters: Sneakers can work well with dresses of various lengths. Short or midi dresses tend to pair particularly well with sneakers, creating a fun and youthful look.
- Play with Patterns: Don’t be afraid to mix patterns. If the floral dress has a small or subtle pattern, you can experiment with sneakers featuring a bolder pattern or texture.
- Keep it Simple: Pair a simple floral dress with classic white sneakers for a timeless and understated look. This combination is easy to pull off and works for various occasions.
- Add Accessories: Consider adding accessories like a denim jacket, a statement necklace, or a crossbody bag to enhance the overall style of the outfit.
- Choose the Right Occasion: Sneakers can be casual but also work for more relaxed and informal events. Consider the occasion and dress up or down accordingly.
Sporty chic, casual or any other style the floral dress and sneakers combination is comfortable and perfect for weekend wear or work.
How to Style a Floral Dress with Sneakers: A Simple Guide
I have been working at a school the past couple of years and have noticed that most people wear white trainers with their outfits. Trainers don’t have to be white. Choose another colour such as navy blue. I’ve chosen a pair with a jute platform which gives the outfit still a casual but polished look.
Platform sneakers are one of my favourite styles. Not only does it add height, I think that it dresses up the outfit just a little, even though you’re wearing sneakers. This floral, toile dress is a lovely casual dress that can be dressed up or down.
One of my favourite styles of dresses is the wrap dress. This one from Forever New looks great with these white Calvin Klein sneakers, creating an effortless casual look. And remember, that a wrap dress suits all body shapes – it’s just one of those styles that flatters every body.
Boho is definitely back this season.One of my favourite brands is Lucky. They do boho so well. This cute dropped waist dress matches the trainers for a casual summer’s day look. I’ve used the less dominant colour in the dress for the colour of the trainers.
