The much-anticipated warm weather of spring is finally here! And with that, there’s no time like the present to start crafting your chicest capsule wardrobe yet. When it comes to anchoring your newly-minted spring outfit ideas, a minimalist mesh Mary Jane or a preppy driving loafer aren’t the only options at hand. While elegant, navigating the teetering transitional temperatures of spring calls for both functionality and fashion. Enter: chic, yet casual sneakers to wear with dresses—from slinky slips to floral frocks.

The style pairing is a no-brainer when it comes to weekend wear, office wear, or any upcoming travel explorations—after all, these shoes were made for walking. Dresses from Dôen, Toteme, and Mango, for example, will look refreshingly effortless when worn with Nikes or Adidas—the latter is especially celebrity-approved. Take Kendall Jenner, for example. The supermodel sticks to her signature minimalist style by pairing her ever-covetable Adidas Sambas with a figure-hugging frock. (Get the look below, courtesy of Ulla Johnson and Adidas.)
Even better, these outfit combos are delightfully easy. You can combine the tried-and-true with the trending now, like Simkhai’s sleek shirtdress with a pair of covetable New Balance’s or Frame’s LWD with a pair of Kelly green retro sneakers from Dries Van Noten. For a more polished take, Toteme’s pleated sleeveless dress pairs perfectly well with neutral toned trainers from Veja. And because it’s the season for great white dresses, outstanding options from Hill House Home, Sea, and Ulla Johnson take centerstage alongside sneakers from Everlane, Loewe, Nike, and more. Finally, florals for spring? Flirty finds from Mango to Alix of Bohemia are most definitely groundbreaking.
