It’s one of fashion’s coolest combinations: sneakers and dresses.

Plus, sneaker styles become more fashion-forward than ever, and look seriously incredible with all types of dresses (whether it be mini, midi or maxi). If you’re not yet an expert on pairing the two items, though, we have a few sneaker and dress outfit ideas to help inspire you. Each idea is totally shoppable, too, so if you’re realizing that your closet is lacking in both dresses and sneakers, we got you. Just thank us when your hot AF Instagram photos go viral.
There’s truly nothing so cool as a sneaker and dress street style look—and thankfully, it’s really easy to create this type of outfit.

Add some statement gold earrings and on-trend tiny sunnies, and you’re good to go.

Ugh, I can’t get over how gorgeous this tiered maxi dress is. The tie sleeves, on-trend tiers and stunning color just seal the deal.

10. Fitted Mini Dress + Glitter Sneakers
Of course, there’s always the fitted mini dress. It’s a going out staple, but instead of grabbing your tallest heels, try a pair of glittery sneakers instead. They still have all the wow-factor, but are much more comfortable for when you’re running around town. Throw on some gold hoops—or even a ’90s choker—and you’ve got the perfect nighttime look.
