‘Tis the season to wear your favourite dress with trainers.
The moment the clocks spring forward, some of us have begun putting away our coats and dusting off our floaty spring dresses. But not to be fooled by the longer, sunnier days (although we’re definitely not complaining), we’ve not quite reached the time of year when we could have our toes out (sadly).
So what’s a happy compromise? Enter: the dress with trainers combo that we’ll be relying on for the next few months. We’re not reinventing the wheel here, but it’s a tried-and-true spring uniform for a reason.
Versatile, fun and so easy to dress up or down, the fact that it ensures maximum comfort also means you can wear it from day to night.
Some general tips to keep in mind when styling a dress with trainers:
- Consider the occasion: Are you going to work or a picnic with friends? If it’s the former, you might want to pare down the patterns and throw on a blazer. And if it’s the latter, maybe a longer version will allow for more flexible movement.
- Consider the colour combination: An easy way to create an outfit is to match an element of your trainers to the dress or bag.
- Consider the hemline: A shorter dress might need some layering for spring, whether that means adding some jeans or tights underneath.
