Q&A for How to Select Shoes to Wear with an Outfit

If you want to give it a funky look, opt for a vibrant color like red or magenta. If you want to give it a formal look, go for brown or purple or maroon. Heels always give a dressy look to an outfit, but heels should also suit your personality, enhance the overall look, and make you feel comfortable.

Colorful shoes will usually go well with neutral colors like black, white, and gray. If you're wearing a more colorful outfit, you can also match shoes to one of the colors in the outfit, or to your accessories (necklace, purse, etc.).

It depends on the occasion. If it's relatively casual, sure. If it's formal, no.

Places such as church, formal dances, fancy dinner, or a fancy night out.

High length boots go best with shorts and skirts, but if you feel like wearing pants then skinny jeans tucked into the boots are best.

Perhaps a nude heel, just not too high. A simple gold chain will look nice if it just a casual dinner.

You can either stick with neutral shoes to complement (black, dark navy or skin toned), or you can pick red heels to contrast and accent the flowers on the dress.

As the color of the dress is very bright, your safest color option is to keep it neutral. Black, gray, or nude would be best. As it's above the knee, most styles of heel should work, although a pointed pump or cage heel would be ideal for an A-line dress to keep it narrow and lengthen the leg.

Nude would be a safe choice, but you could also liven things up with a brighter color, like red, turquoise or magenta. Metallic shoes, such as silver, gold, or bronze, could also look nice. Be sure to keep in mind the accessories you'll be wearing as well, and try to match them to the shoes somewhat.

Wear white or black heels, or blue shoes.

Yes, that should be fine.

If the dress hits below the knee, a court/pump is the best way to go (in whatever color you like). If it hits you at the knee, then almost anything works: courts, sandals, lace up, strappy, bootie etc. Get your favourite shoes together and try them on with the dress. Have some fun with it!

Anything black really. You should think about the length and shape of your legs when considering different styles.

Yes. Black goes with almost all colors.

Because the dress is monochrome, it will probably work really well with a coloured (and even patterned) shoe.

Try black sandals or boots, or heels if your parents say it's ok.

Wear coral or black sandals.

Black will keep the line of your leg long.

The dress can be any color because the shoes are neutral. But I recommend bright red or bright yellow.

Black, gray, and nude could all work, depending on the rest of your outfit (e.g., accessories) and personal preferences. Red could also work if you want more color.

The obvious choice would be nude. You can also match gold metallic shoes, depending on your accessories.

White, nude or black heels or heeled sandals.

Yes, you can.

Try a pair of gray or black platform shoes.

You can, but it tends to look very matchy-matchy. Coordinating is much more sophisticated than matching.

Black strapless shoes, these usually look the best. Maybe beige heels. The brown contrast would look nice.

You should really only wear casual jogging shoes to go jogging. If you are going jogging, then casual shoes are a good choice.

First, try socks in the same color of the shoes or dress. If that doesn't work, put an emphasis on a contrasting color.

Yes! That is a very stylish look. Stiletto heels/boots are good for a dressy fall or winter look.

Try neutral-color heels. You don't want colorful shoes.
