Avoid the mainstream—pair *this* shoe trend with your favorite white dress.

      White dresses and summer are the perfect pairing, much like peanut butter and jelly. Once the temperatures begin to rise, it's hard to miss this wardrobe staple. From denim mini styles to flowing maxi dresses and everything in between, white dresses are everywhere this season, whether at the beach, in the office, or while grocery shopping. Styling them is quite simple since they complement almost anything, but at the moment, I'm inspired by Keira Knightley's fashion choices. Recently styled by Leith Clark, Knightley paired her delicate lace Chanel dress with surprisingly chunky black patent-leather mules. While I would have typically chosen elegant shoes to match the dress—maybe minimalist sandals with thin straps in white or tan—I actually prefer Knightley's bolder footwear choice. Why conform when you can have fun with your style instead? Keep scrolling to see Keira Knightley's latest ensemble and find items to replicate her look.
