Yes, track shorts and flip-flops are having a moment right now, but if you’re looking for a more timeless summer outfit pairing, this Alexa Chung-approved dress-and-shoe combination will see you through plenty of heatwaves to come.
Spotted enjoying an alfresco evening, Alexa wore a white slip dress with the prettiest pair of white ballet flats. Simple, sophisticated and comfortable, the easy throw-on two-piece makes summer dressing feel fuss-free. Opting for a pair of gleaming white ballet flats, Alexa added a fresh, polished finish that brightened the outfit without the need for bold colours or statement accessories.
Whilst the slinky, lingerie-inspired silhouette brings a sense of glamour, the classic ballet flat grounds the look with a practical and feminine finish. Together, they create an outfit that feels polished without being overdone—and one of the chicest warm-weather combinations I’ve spotted all season.
