I also like the more substantial sandal a little more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2177022 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 17:15:53 +0000 Janet 2177022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would also add that full length photos help when evaluating shoe choices. I would probably style each of these differently. For example, the boot version would be great bookended with something black and with a bit more visual weight on the top half of the outfit — a moto jacket or even a hat or bold dark earrings or cuff bracelet for example. Meanwhile the delicate sandals work with a lighter touch overall on accessories. It’s all about visual balance in the overall effect, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2177009 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 16:29:58 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2177009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These read as different situations, and I think all of them work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2177006 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 16:00:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2177006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suntiger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176990 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 14:07:00 +0000 Janet 2176990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Gillian. All of these work, depending on weather and mood. I know women who wear boots with dresses in summer and rock the boho fab look — too hot and a little too boho for me, but if it works for you, I think it’s great to have multiple options to change up the vibe of the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176989 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 14:01:36 +0000 always trying 2176989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks summerie to me, so I would not do the booties.&nbsp; It would also work with white sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176968 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 11:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 2176968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the chunkier sandals most from those 3. With boots, I prefer them taller with maxis, so the dress covers the top of the boot. The thinner sandals seem too thin somehow for the weight of the dress to me.<br /> I wear mine with mules too for transitional weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176966 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 11:43:03 +0000 Veruca 2176966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'll probably go with the chunkier lace up sandal for this occasion. I am 63 and always wonder if I am tipping into the "mutton dressed as lamb" period of life. I love fashion always have so am loving the whole maxi dress revival as it can be dressed up or down and they are so comfy. I can't wear jeans anymore due to tummy issues but still like to feel a little "on trend". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176939 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 05:50:20 +0000 Sloper 2176939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lace-up sandals with the dress.&nbsp; Hard to see what the boots are like.</p> <p>I've seen fashion shots with "prairie" style dresses similar to yours - they style them with lace-up boots.&nbsp; It's a fun look.&nbsp; And sometimes I've seen the frilly/floaty dresses with stompy, thick soled boots as a contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176937 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 05:40:56 +0000 rachylou 2176937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Partial to the boots then the more substantial gladiator </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176935 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 04:33:03 +0000 Jenni NZ 2176935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Veruca from a Kiwi! Thanks so much for filling in your profile, it always helps. Personally I prefer the look of the more substantial heeled sandals here as giving a bit more “heft” with the long dress. However so many people these days do wear flats even with quite long dresses like this. I am a bit behind the times in my personal preference. I do also love to wear flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176924 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 03:35:05 +0000 cat2 2176924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sandal options. I am not a fan of boots with summer fabrics, and I think the dress is light weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176921 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 03:28:22 +0000 Jaime 2176921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it depends on the weather but I like the look of the more chunky sandal in the first picture.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176899 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 01:45:38 +0000 Anonymous 2176899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They might all be right, depending on the weather. Agreeing that a jacket or cardigan would balance the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176895 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 01:37:57 +0000 Anonymous 2176895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of these shoes work! With boots I’d wear in early spring and style the dress with a denim jacket. Then as it warms up I would transition to the sandal heels and flat sandals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176891 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 01:23:28 +0000 slim cat 2176891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slight preference to the more substantial sandal ( or boots - depending on the place ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176885 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 00:56:19 +0000 Sal 2176885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With this midi dress I think you could wear<br />- ankle or tall boots<br />- sandals - flat or heeled<br />- sneakers (white, non athletic)</p> <p>I couldn't see loafers with this dress nor athletic sneakers.</p> <p>I think both sandals shown work fine with the dress.&nbsp; Just comes down to preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-please#post-2176884 Mon, 08 Mar 2021 00:47:01 +0000 Veruca 2176884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which to wear with this and other maxi dresses?
