WHY IT WORKS
The gum sole's warmth echoes the terracotta tone of the dress — the warm accent rule perfectly executed. White leather reads refined. Japan removes all formality, pulls the dress out of occasion territory into effortless everyday. Technical fabric against heritage athletic shoe — established stylist move. Strongest everyday option.
