The tan Franco Sarto peep toe heels. The Joseph Siebel &amp; Paul Green's would work.<br /> I would also try to avoid anything that looks like a comfort shoe.<br /> ETA the silver Sam Edelman's that AJ posted look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678488 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 12:23:44 +0000 Chris987 1678488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b> and <b>Tanya</b>, I'm on team "does not wear flip flops except at the gym" but I can see how they would look good if that is your style inclination. </p> <p><b>RobinF</b> ...I only have some of these shoes - the black slip-ons, white sneakers, black flat gladiators, red ones. The rest were for inspiration since my summer footwear capsule needs some help in the "dressier" department. Snakeskin does appeal to me...</p> <p>Thanks <b>Joy. </b></p> <p><b>Suz</b>, great suggestions. I know the okalas you mean, I can picture the colors.</p> <p><b>MUffin </b>I do own those red ones and agree they would be a good choice. I have been on the fence on whether they are really comfortable or not, the sole is a bit too stiff so they don't flex when I walk...I need to decide and wear them or replace them.</p> <p><b>Jaileen </b>I do like espadrilles but find that mostly they have so little support that I can't wear them for long. ..just reminding myself that adding a drugstore insole that costs $15 can solve that problem </p> <p><b>annagybe</b> probably around knee length but not sure just yer. <br />&nbsp;<br /><b>AJ</b> good suggestions , had not really considered a floral print but I can see how it could be great. <b>Karie</b> thanks another vote from you for floral. </p> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, great inputs, and thanks for posting those pics of GoldenPig's outfits...very nice pairing of stripes and strappy sandals/shoes</p> <p><b>Angie</b> yes I'm coming to agree with Tanya too that just about any of the shoes suggested by me or others&nbsp;would work.&nbsp;What? You mean I need to actually make my own decision? I thought the deal here was that everyone on YLF would decide for me !!! kidding of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678414 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:40:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1678414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see any of your choices with the dress. My personal favorites are the Paul Green sandals, the Josef Seibels, and the Clarks. I do like the way the straps on the Clarks gladiators might echo the stripes in the dress. I've seen GoldenPig wear black and white stripes with her black nubuck Munro Abby sandals, and I love the echo effect of the stripes and footwear.&nbsp; </p> <p>(Here's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-519-another-jersey-skirt-with-ks-camera-cross-body-and-origami-dalmatian" rel="nofollow">one post </a>I found of GoldenPig's with that look.)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678341 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 01:12:53 +0000 Karie 1678341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several striped dresses and I usually wear my silver sandals or my white summer shoes with them. For fun, I also like to pair them with a pair of floral shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678338 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 01:02:06 +0000 Angie 1678338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo, Tanya. Most of those footwear options are going to work with the dress, Chris. It depends entirely on your sartorial preferences.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678285 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 22:37:42 +0000 AJ 1678285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the stripe dress below and these are the sandals I like to wear with it. (I skew towards the maximal side.)</p> <p>I like all your footwear options. It will give you a variety of looks. Do you own all of them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678278 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 22:25:34 +0000 annagybe 1678278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How short are you making the dress? That makes a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678273 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 21:59:04 +0000 JAileen 1678273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of the choices, depending on what you're doing. Another option are espadrilles, classic summer sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678140 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 14:57:58 +0000 Muffin 1678140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that any of these choices are great and more activity dependent. I am personally drawn to something with a heel. The red ones in particular would create a nice long leg with their lack of ankle straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678109 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 14:08:11 +0000 Suz 1678109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anything can work. I used to wear the ponyhair Okalas with my black and white striped Vince Camuto tube skirt. (Sorry no Find, but they are black and white with cognac ankle straps.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't actually own a striped dress but stripes work well with other patterns, as we've seen, so if the colours are compatible you can pattern mix for sure. Solids also work. Style depends on formality of outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>For a casual t-shirt dress like the one you showed, I'd wear sneakers or any sandal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678108 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 13:57:08 +0000 Anonymous 1678108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing a grey and white striped dress today with blush flats and cardigan. It may depend on the width and color of the stripes but I think anything would work.<br /> I think it was Natalie that wore gladiators with stripes and the way the sandals repeated the stripes was very pleasing.<br /> Sterling, wear those thongs while you are young. When you are older you will probably have to give them up for any number of reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678090 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 13:09:58 +0000 RobinF 1678090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of think the gladiator style would be too busy for stripes but would have to see them on. Of the shoes you posted I think my favorites would be the snakeskin d 'orsay flats (you don't have all these shoes do you? Love them!) I think the print mix would work and they would be the right balance between casual and dressy for that dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678082 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 12:55:31 +0000 Anonymous 1678082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. &nbsp;I am on a personal mission to convince everyone in the world that flip flops are "dress shoes." &nbsp;I can see it will be a uphill battle. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678071 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 12:35:27 +0000 Tanya 1678071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that anything can work, really.&nbsp; In terms of color, white, black, metallics, tan-skin tone, brights.&nbsp; In terms of shape oxfords, sneakers, fun sandals.&nbsp; In terms of the options you listed the only one I do not like are the last ones, flip-flops, too casual and beach wear only in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678056 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 11:25:45 +0000 Anonymous 1678056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thongs? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-footwear-do-you-like-with-striped-dresses#post-1678054 Sun, 12 Jun 2016 11:21:48 +0000 Chris987 1678054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>..continuing with the topic of&nbsp;striped dresses, I'd like to kick off a&nbsp;discussion on what footwear to pair with them.&nbsp;As I'm sure we all realize, there are a lot of different styles of striped dresses and footwear can be anywhere from very casual to very dressy. I've shown the dress that I'm planning to shorten (at the end of find list) but feel free to discuss other examples. Here are some shoe&nbsp;finds&nbsp; to kick things off....would love to see other finds posted...</p> <p>- What are your favorite shoe styles?<br />- How do you decide on color and/or prints?<br />- Do shoes with a lot of straps across the instep (caged/gladiators etc) &nbsp;"mimic" the stripes and is that flattering or not? </p>
