10 Summer Mini Dresses And The Flat Shoes To Pair Them With, From Flip Flops To Sneakerinas
Barely there dressing.
Summer is the season of ease, and nothing captures that carefree spirit quite like a mini dress. Light, breezy and endlessly versatile, the mini dress is a warm-weather staple that can be rolled up into hand luggage or worn to work.
This season's mini dresses come in every mood, with nighties, shift and pleat skirt shirt dresses leading the way. But while the dress may be the star of the show, the right pair of flat shoes can completely transform the vibe - flip flops can emphasise chill factor, trainers practicality and knee-high boots make everything a bit more professional.
This summer, stylish flat summer shoe styles are aplenty: jelly shoes, boat shoes and sneakerinas are proving themselves practical and directional. A good pair of summer flats are the unsung heroes of summer wardrobes, offering the kind of versatility and comfort that high temperatures (and long days) demand.
Whether you're going for effortlessly cool, polished and pretty, or just want to survive a day of walking in comfort and style, we’ve rounded up 9 summer mini dresses and paired each with the perfect flat shoe. Think of it as your warm-weather outfit formula cheat sheet.

Technically a romper, Peachy Den's embroidered mini is all kinds of nostalgic, particularly if you add a pair of childlike jelly sandals - an ensemble for the beach for sure.
