Spring is in full swing, which means it’s time to put the coats away and think about how to deal with the unpredictable weather. How do you maintain an effortless look when you think it might still rain? 

One spring trend that is really taking off is a dress and sneakers combo. Dresses are great as it’s pretty much a ready-made outfit and you don’t have to stress about finding the right top to match your pants, plus they’re usually super comfy. 

How To Battle The Elements

Firstly, we wanted to discuss battling the elements. Often you’ll feel like you’re experiencing all the seasons in one go during the spring months. As mother nature makes her mind up, it’s important to be prepared. 

If you’re wearing a short dress putting on a pair of tights can be a lifesaver when it suddenly feels baltic. Going for a pair of skin-colored tights can make you feel like you’re still in spring mode but keep your legs warm. Opaque tights can often clash with lighter spring colors such as pastel blues and greens, but if you’re already wearing a darker-colored dress then go for it. 

Midi dresses with low-top trainers:

Midi dresses have a versatile length that works well with low-top trainers. Opt for a flowy or A-line midi dress in pastel or floral prints and pair it with sleek, minimalist low-top trainers. Complete the look with a crossbody bag and a light denim jacket for an effortlessly chic outfit.

Maxi dresses with high-top trainers:

Maxi dresses and high-top trainers create a bold and edgy look. Choose a solid-colored maxi dress with a side slit to balance the proportions and show off your high-top trainers. Consider pairing a black or dark-colored dress with bright or patterned trainers for a striking contrast.

Shirt dresses with slip-on trainers:

Shirt dresses are casual, and comfy, and pair seamlessly with slip-on trainers. Opt for a striped or denim shirt dress and pair it with neutral-toned slip-on trainers for a casual day out. Add a belt to cinch your waist and enhance your silhouette.

Bodycon dresses with chunky trainers:

Bodycon dresses are form-fitting and work well with chunky trainers for a fashion-forward look. Pair a solid-colored bodycon dress with bold, chunky trainers to add an interesting contrast. Accessorize with minimal jewelry and a small backpack or clutch.

"This spring, the fusion of dresses and trainers continues to dominate the fashion scene. The key to mastering this trend lies in balancing the dressy and casual elements of the outfit. Opt for complementary colors and textures to create a harmonious look that's both comfortable and chic. As a rule of thumb, always consider the occasion and your personal style when making your choice."
