Black shoes are the chicest combination for your white dresses this summer

Is there anything more elegant than a white dress in the summer? If you ask any fashionista, chances are they'll say no. There's something about a white dress that looks so sophisticated no matter what style you choose, not to mention it's an easy outfit to throw on that won't take much effort.

Usually during the warmer months I try to keep my white dress outfits monochromatic to look more expensive and put together (a white dress with white sandals is a go-to for me), however, after browsing my Instagram I decided to turn my attention to another timeless formula that looks equally chic: a white dress with black shoes.

With the promise of a heatwave on the horizon (fingers crossed!), I took a look at some of my favorite Instagram accounts for inspiration on how to style my own white dresses with black sandals, flats, and even heels. You might think that black shoes would be too bold with your dainty white dresses, but the contrast between the two colors actually makes the outfit look effortlessly elegant. And since both of these pieces can be considered wardrobe staples with many iterations, there are a myriad of styling options for the combo.
