Olivia Rodrigo Wore the Best Dress Trend to Pair With Flats

Given how hot it's been lately, it's understandable that when asked what you're going to wear, the answer is often a dress. It's the easiest way to look cute and stay cool during the summer, and dress devotee Olivia Rodrigo is well aware. While out and about in the UK (Manchester, to be exact) with her boyfriend and friends this week, Rodrigo was spotted wearing the pretty dress trend that fashion people who know a thing or two about putting an outfit together are pairing with flat shoes. Intrigued?…

The trend is flared mini dresses, and sure, it's subjective, but I strongly believe they look best with flat shoes as opposed to heels or sneakers, or even sandals. I'm not the only one to think this, it seems, as I keep spotting expert dressers wearing the effortless combination. Rodrigo's outfit included a long-sleeve, ruched Damson Madder dress (which is still available on Nordstrom, believe it or not) and her trusty Dr. Martens, but I could easily name a slew of flat-shoe styles that'd work just as well with the dress. Keep scrolling to see the look for yourself and shop chic flared mini dresses to wear with all of your flat shoes this summer.
