Forget Sandals—This Is the Heel Style That Makes Halter Dresses Look Elegant
Given that it's summer, sandals have been the go-to with dresses lately. It's understandable, as they're easy to throw on and go, but I can't say that they're the most elegant shoe choice with every dress trend. One of those is a halter dress, which Molly Gordon just wore for an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
While exiting the studio, Gordon was photographed wearing a head-to-toe Loewe look, consisting of a halter dress and a pair of sleek black pumps. Her dress might’ve been the focal point of the look, but her pumps made her dress look supremely elegant in an instant. Black pumps are tried-and-true shoes, and while it might be warmer where you live, sandals just aren't going to have the same elegant effect as pumps. Black pumps are a wardrobe staple that you can't go wrong with, whether it's a night out, a dinner, or any event you might be wearing a trend-forward halter dress to (or any dress, for that matter).
Read on to shop classic black pumps and halter dresses to wear with them.
