I’m going to be honest here and admit that I’ve actually never worn heels with dresses. I’ll include the mule or block heel in there once in a while but I think there are other styles that not only are more comfortable but simply make your dress look ten times as cool and elevated. If you’re used to wanting to throw a pair of stilettos or pumps on with your dresses and want to change it up but don’tknow where to start, I’m here to help. It’s my job to, after all. 

Below, I’ve listed 7 shoe styles that I always count on for pairing with any kind of dress from flowy maxis to silk slips. Whether you tone your dress down to the more casual side with a pair of converse or have knee-high boots that’ll complement your ensemble, your outfit will still feel complete even if you aren’t wearing heels. See for yourself below.
