For the signature navy shirt dress, you'll want to keep the styling minimal so that it can be worn in work settings. Ideally, in the summer and spring, you'd pair it with strappy white sandals as they won't be too distracting.

During colder months, if you can't possibly get away with wearing white sandals, try swapping them out for knee-high boots in a similar shade of white, beige, or even nude.
