EmRata's Romantic Dress-and-Sneakers Outfit Is All We Want to Wear Right Now

Last summer, Emily Ratajkowski spent a great deal of time in sneakers. She wore them everywhere and with everything—whether she was relaxing on the beach in a tiny bikini of hitting the streets of NYC in a flouncy dress. It looks like the model and swimwear designer is back on track with her summer look, stepping out yet again in this tried-and-true combination. This time around there's an added bonus: She's wearing the new It dress from Réalisation.
The best part is that the brand finally has a UK-friendly version of its site when it comes to shipping. I love that she's paired this flirty, romantic mini with the simplest of trainers to great effect: Just a plain pair of white basket kicks are all that's required to look good, and we're hoping to emulate this look ASAP—even if we can't afford the iconic Paco Rabanne chainmail bag she has on her arm. Keep scrolling to shop EmRata's perfect heatwave look, and then see how other girls are wearing minidresses with sneakers.
