Spring/Summer collections are perfect for our year-round tropical weather, but one of our favourite pieces has to be the light, airy dresses that signal the season. From weekend brunches to work day lunches, dresses can work for all occasions with just a little tweaking.
Check out our foolproof shoe and dress combinations to get the most out of our Spring/Summer obsession.
Midi Dresses and Midi Heels
The midi hemline has been very popular this season, and though it’s been traditionally seen as a frumpy cut, pairing it with a simple pair of midi heels elongates your calf area ever so slightly, creating a flattering and natural silhouette. For the more petite girls out there, look for a midi dress that ends slightly about your mid-calf area to achieve the illusion of a little extra height.

Maxi Dresses And Sneakers
This pairing has been a street style favourite for many seasons and is still going strong. Maxis usually being a ‘fancier’ dress option, are made cool and casual with the simple addition of a sneaker. Keep your sneakers simple and more on the sleek side for the best pairing.

Tea Dresses and Boots
Boots are a mainstay in almost everyone’s closet and are a great way to edge up a girly piece like the tea dress. For a cooler contrast, pick leathery boots with a sharp-toed front for that extra edge.

Mini Dresses And Block Heels
The mini dress and block heels rule is simply about balance. With a lighter piece on the top, a block heel perfectly balances out the silhouette while working with the shorter hemline to lengthen those legs.
