I bought this dress in a sale. I'm 5ft 9" size 12 & the shape/ style suits me very well.
I'm not sure what shoes to wear though. I didn't buy it for any particular event, more a nice dress to wear to dinner / lunch/ on hols etc
I'd love to know what anyone else has paired it with

How about a nice strappy sandal?
Something like this if wearing to a wedding:

Or something like this if a bit more casual / dinner with friends vibe:

Thank you @Extrapepperoni
I don't have a wedding or any particular occasion..I just loved the dress so I'm really interested in ways to wear it more casually. Thanks so much for your suggestions

Thanks @Bagelsandbrie I like the first pair but I can't wear mules / sliders as they just kill my feet trying to keep them on

I should have added that I find totally flat shoes difficult

Would you wear something like the shoes the model's wearing?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/06/2021 12:45

To dress it down:
Converse and a denim jacket
White trainers and a denim jacket

For smart casual:
low wedge espadrille sandals

LucysSkyDiamonds · 04/06/2021 13:21

I think the clichéd white trainer would be lovely to dress it down.

Agree with this. I also love the flatform sandals the model is wearing. Something like this would look good too

I really liked the first two options. But I find I dress a bit more elegant and classic most of the time, so really can't grasp the idea of a casual white trainer with such an elegant flowy dress

UnreasonablyPissedOff · 04/06/2021 14:33

Thank you all for the suggestions
While I like how it looks on other people am not a fan of white trainers & denim jackets with dresses on me.
I do love the Sezane clogs though - excellent suggestion!

Love those clogs.

AnyFucker · 04/06/2021 18:11

I would wear these if you want casual

They are slightly platform and very comfortable. You will get cool points too. I love that dress, btw.

Ingridla · 04/06/2021 18:24

The clogs @XiCi posted would work well imo, I've some Clarke's ones v similar & they're comfy & literally work with everything.

Don't mean to be a cow but denim jackets are not only uncomfortable & no use if the temperature drops but their stock has fallen considerably since the fashion set dubbed it 'cheugy' which is basically the opposite to trendy!

I'm not a fan of big white trainers either OP! So inelegant. Leave it to the teens!
