If you’re wondering how to style boots with a dress in the summer, look no further than fashion-forward celebrities. Knee-high shoes aren’t something you’d naturally reach for when the weather is warm, but Katie Holmes, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Emily Ratajkowski, and Rihanna have made a convincing case for wearing boots with summer dresses this season.
Stars have been styling boots with everything from thigh-skimming minis to lace slips and T-shirt maxis of late. Heeled boots have been particularly popular; ditto pointed-toe versions.
When it comes to brands, Milan-based Paris Texas is a favorite among the A-list, loved for its classic silhouettes and buttery leather fabrications. “I follow my instinct more than trends when it comes to the materials we use, and I love playing with a touch of color, always,” founder and creative director Annamaria Brivio previously told British Vogue.
Here’s how to style boots and a dress this summer, according to celebrities.
A white T-shirt dress + cream boots
A tailored minidress + black knee-highs
A lace slip + patent heeled boots
A denim dress + embossed knee-highs
A shirt dress + pointed boots
A breezy white dress + color-match boots
