What shoes to make this dress casual.

[24kPalamino]

Hello!

I know it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, that’s ok, but I love this dress.

I bought some black heels to dress it up. I have them on in the photo, but that is really going to limit where I can wear this.

I’d like to dress it down too. I was thinking;

• white flat trainers (not running ones)
• knee high black boots
• ankle high black boots
• other

In an ideal world I’d try on items with the dress, but I don’t want to wear it shopping without appropriate shoes and quite frankly, I can’t afford the time or money to buy everything to try and then return.

Hoping for some stylish Mumsnetters to point me in the right direction. I want to look smart but a bit more casual.

Thanks

It could look more casual with flat high boots and a knitted jumer. But the chiffony looking fabric and the split are somewhat working against that. What about a sequenny type jumper at Christmas?

Oh yes! It could definitely be blinged up for Christmas …save me buying another dress. I actually have a black sparkly jumper from about 2003! Might work with it lol.

someone was singing the praises of these boots on anothre thread - they are a dark brown and on offer at the moment. I'm thinking of getting the black ones to wear with an M&S satin pleated skirt

They are gorgeous! I might have to wait until pay day for them, but they are stunning boots!

I really like this dress! And you look good in it. What brand is this?

Knee high boots that mirror(edit: or simply suit!) one of the dress colours would be my first guess.

Or some ankle free / below the ankle „booties“ in black (with a chunky or low heel) might work as well.

I think cord is in but double check as im not 100%
