Wondering the best ways to style your favourite dresses with boots? Then look no further! We have put together the ultimate style guide on how to wear boots with dresses.

Whether you are looking at midi or maxi dresses we have included all of the different ways you can create some iconic dress with boots outfits.

Things to remember when styling dresses with boots:

  • Boot to dress style: it may be an obvious one, but what we mean by this is to keep your dress in the same style range as your boots, for example leopard print boots might not be a good match with your smartest dress.
  • Tights or no tights: If the weather allows and the dress code isn’t too formal you can choose whichever works best for you.
  • Mix and match with colour: It’s always best to add some colour to your outfit with either your dress or boots or better yet with a statement bag to tie your outfit together.

FAQ’s

How do I choose the right boots to match my shirt dress?

When choosing the right boots for a shirt dress you want to think about the dress length, the style, and the look that you want to create.

  • Take the dress length into consideration. If it’s a mini or above the knee dress then ankle boots will look great where as a midi or maxi style work best with knee high boots or heeled ankle boots.
  • Match the style of the dress. For a casual shirt dress, flat boots, Chelsea boots, or laced up designs give a relaxed vibe. If it is a tailored style for work, then sleek heeled ankle boots or knee high boots will elevate the look.
  • Play with heel height. Flat boots are perfect for casual day to day wear, block heels for a comfortable yet stylish day outing, or slim heels dress up an outfit for evening occasions.

Which boots are best for a formal dress?

Styles that feel elegant, proportionate, and event appropriate without looking too casual are perfect! For example, pointed toe boots add a polished finish to an evening look or heeled knee high boots add a classic and slightly dressy feel to midi and maxi dresses.
