I’m as ready for spring and sunshine as the next person, but every year the thing that gives me pause as the seasons start to change is the thought of packing away my boot collection. I spend months curating a versatile assortment of styles and then just when I have it perfected, the seasons change. This is why I’m a huge proponent of extending the life of your winter footwear by pairing your favorite boots with a fresh spring dress. Not only does this give your boots more wear, it’s a timeless combo that can be replicated with various styles and silhouettes for innovative outfits.
Whether you’re partial to western styles, chunky soles, or sleek leather pairs (or all of the above), there’s a spring dress out there that will complement your boots perfectly. To help with your search, or just to get your creative juices flowing for styling ideas, I browsed some of my favorite retailers on the hunt for spring dresses that will pair well with boots. From printed maxis to floral minis, I found 31 gorgeous options that basically look like they were made with this styling combo in mind. As a bonus, all of these dresses look equally chic with sandals so you can pair them with boots now and then your favorite open-toe shoes all through summer.
