We are here to help you figure out when you want to style with heels when sneakers are more appropriate, and every option in between!Â
Ankle Boots with Maxi Dresses
Booties are a fabulous choice for pairing with maxi dresses! Particularly in the spring and fall! They are the perfect transitional footwear!

Whichever style you choose, lean into it!
Minimal Heels with Maxi Dresses
Heels and maxi dresses are a natural fit! Especially for nice events! Plus, there is an array of heel heights and sizes for you to choose from!

Strappy heels are also a vert classic option. We know maxi dress lengths can be a struggle for those on the shorter side, but heels can definitely help with that. Pairing a chic pair of heels with a maxi dress is perfect for a date night, a nice dinner with friends, or being a wedding guest.Â
