Listen—These Shoes Will Always Look Perfect With Midi Dresses
Summer midi dresses are a wardrobe staple for most women. Due to their comfortable length and endless variations (formal, wrap, strapless, slip, etc.), pulling for these frocks is probably the easiest summer wardrobe choice you'll make all season long. That is, until it's time to put on shoes. We're all for a one-and-done kind of outfit, but sometimes the accessories portion of the segment really gets us stuck.
Ahead we've mapped out the five best shoe styles to wear with all your summer midi dresses. Whether you're going to the office, a festive picnic with friends, or even on a date, the styles ahead are truly the best pairings when it comes to all those summer midi dresses we know you have jammed in your closet. So the next time you find yourself confused on what kind of shoes to wear with this dress length, open up this story and discover the outfit peace you've been searching for.

Lace-Up Sandals
Heeled lace-up sandals are the number one footwear choice for most of our summertime outfits, but the way the style looks with midi dresses is incomparable. We love how the laces around the ankle disappear into the bottom of the dress creating just enough mystery.
Pointed-Toe Kitten Heels
Headed to the office but don't want to wear painful pumps? Then pointed-toe kitten heels are about to become your best friend. They are both polished and comfortable and elongate the natural line of your leg in that midi dress thanks to the pointed toe. A win all around.
