These Trendy Boots and Your Favorite Maxi Dress Are a Match Made in Sartorial Heaven

Fun fact: Maxi dresses aren't just a summer wardrobe staple. In fact, they're a great piece to throw on at any time of year. But of course, you can't wear one with Grecian sandals when it's 40 degrees out. Luckily, the most stylish solution is also one of the most trendy: bright white ankle boots.

The mod '60s style is back, baby. But instead of going full on Nancy Sinatra and wearing them with a miniskirt, the modern way to rock 'em is with none other than a comfy maxi dress.

The duo works so perfectly precisely because each item balances the other: The stark white pop adds some much needed lightness to all that floor-grazing fabric, while the maxi's natural boho vibes prevent those retro booties from feeling too, well, retro.

Get the look: Public Desire ($56); Penny Loves Kenny ($70); Sam Edelman ($84); Chinese Laundry ($90); Sol Sana ($95); Treasure & Bond ($100); Dolce Vita ($111); Marc Fisher LTD. ($143); Schutz ($144); Alias Mae ($250); M.Gemi ($398); Rag & Bone ($525); Tibi ($575)
