The Ideal Footwear to Pair with Your White Dresses This Summer, as Recommended by Our Stylist

Wearing sneakers with a dress is often seen as a distasteful walk toward the dark side, and in many cases, rightfully so. Most sneakers can make a breezy white dress look clunky, chaotic, or just plain confused. We asked Kinsey Ranee for her take, and surprisingly, she’s all for it. “I also think everyone needs a good sneaker to slip on,” she shares exclusively with Glam. Her current faves? “The 490s by Alohas or a classic Adidas Samba,” she tells us.

However, if you’re going for a summery look with a white dress, sandals are almost always the better choice. A slight heel can instantly elevate the outfit, while a playful flat keeps things casual and captures that easy, breezy vibe. Our final tip? Keep the rest of your look cohesive. White highlights everything, which means bad makeup or off-color nails won’t go unnoticed. We’ve covered the best makeup looks to pair with a white dress as well as the best nail colors to pair with a white dress, so you’ve got a foolproof fashion strategy from head to toe. Just remember: Fashion should be fun, and most rules are guidelines, not gospel. Wear what feels right and makes you feel good this summer.
