Style Friday - What to wear with a navy dress

Pamela emailed me recently to say that she bought this dress, at J. Crew (still available! and on sale!) in navy blue, and now she’s wondering what shoes to wear with it. “For spring/summer I have some great camel-colored sandals and patterned ballet flats that the dress will looks great with. But what to do about fall and winter, which is right around the corner? We live in the Midwest, so I will most likely need to wear high boots at least sometimes with it. Would chocolate brown high heeled boots work? If so, what kind/color hosiery would I wear with it?”
Chocolate brown boots would be PERFECT with this dress, as would a lighter brown, like the camel boots pictured here. Boots — both flat and high heeled — are huge this fall, and the combination of a great boot with a simple jersey dress is chic and practical all at once.
Pair brown boots with brown tights for the longest leg line; choose tights that are the same shade as the boots to really extend the leg. Opt for a textured tight for a little pattern. And for warmer fall days, wear the boots without any hosiery — why not?
