Have you ever been in a situation where you can't decide what type of shoes to pair with an outfit? I have, and it doesn't get easier with a sundress. 

A sundress is a lightweight, loose-fitting, sleeveless dress. It can be tailored to any length—mini, midi, and maxi—and is usually in floral patterns. This outfit creates the best look, and with these five stylish and comfortable shoes, you can style your sundress right, upgrade your look with elegance and confidence, and not compromise on comfort.

1. Strappy Sandals

Strappy sandals have a feminine appeal. They can instantly elevate a dress to look elegant, even if it's styled casually. They are best paired with mini and midi dresses, and depending on the length of the dress, the straps add more allure to your legs and make them appear longer. For a dresser vibe, go for heeled sandals with thin straps.

2. Sneakers

Not chunky sneakers, but clean, white, minimalist sneakers. This gives your sundress a cool, laid-back vibe while making you comfortable throughout the day. You can walk any length and breadth comfortably and switch through any event from work to brunch to a casual outing. 

A pair of sneakers balances the sundress' femininity with a sporty and modern look. It suits a long sundress better, especially if it has a slit, as it shows off the sneakers

7. Ankle Boots

If you're a boot girl, then this option suits you best. Not all dresses can pull off an ankle boot and still look cute like a sundress. Ankle boots generally pair well with dresses that end at the knee or above the knee, or midi dresses that hit just a little below the knee. This shoe not only makes you sweet to behold but also like something out of a cottagecore.

A slingback is a shoe with an ankle strap that crosses around the back of the heel instead of a full ankle enclosure. The heels can be flat, block, or kitten, making them suitable for both formal and informal occasions. They also come in different designs. Paired with a long sundress, a slingback gives a refined and elegant feel.

It's laid-back, but also in an elegant way that suggests you're not here to perform as anyone but yourself. This shoe, paired with a long sundress, gives a mature, refined, and polished look that instantly sets you apart from everyone else.

The length of your sundress can influence the type of shoes that fit best. For Mini dresses, flat sandals, sneakers, ankle boots, and low block heels do perfect justice. Wedges, strappy sandals, and mules are good choices for midi sundresses, while flat sandals, platform slides, and block heels are the best options for a maxi sundress. 

The more flowy the dress, the more structured your shoes should be. This means that your shoes should have more shape and firmness.
