The Best Sneakers to Wear With Dresses: 29 Chic Outfit Ideas

The style pairing is a no-brainer when it comes to weekend wear, office wear, or any upcoming travel explorations—after all, these shoes were made for walking. Dresses from Dôen, Toteme, and Posse, for example, will look refreshingly effortless when worn with Nikes or Adidas—the latter is especially celebrity-approved. Take Kendall Jenner, for example. The supermodel sticks to her signature minimalist style by pairing her ever-covetable Adidas Sambas with a figure-hugging frock. (Get the look below, courtesy of Mango and Adidas.) Emrata is another model-off-duty mastering the dynamic duo, opting for a poppy red sneaker with a lace-trimmed slip with an asymmetric hemline.

Even better, these outfit combos are delightfully easy. You can combine the tried-and-true with the trending now, like Source Unknown’s drop-waist LWD with a pair of metallic Bottega Veneta trainers or Rixo’s printed smock dress with a pair of bright white retro sneakers from Dries Van Noten. For a more polished take, Proenza Schouler’s buttery-yellow polo dress pairs perfectly well with Gucci’s go-with-everything neutral sneaker. And because we’re currently in the midst of a boho revival, allow airy finds from Gabriela Hearst, Bondi Born, and Ulla Johnson take centerstage alongside sneakers from Veja, New Balance, Nike, and more. Finally, crochet is most definitely cool for the summer with Rails’s colorful striped tank dress taking up major real estate in our seasonal wardrobes—tone it down with a simple leather pair. All these combos—and more—below, in our edit of the best sneakers to wear with dresses.
