Any neutrals would go great with taupe polka dots. The big rule to follow is no more than 3 colors in one outfit.

Expert Answer

Black opaque tights would be best. That way, you're keeping with the black-and-white color scheme.

What color shoes should I wear with an orange and white polka dot dress?

Community Answer

Navy goes well with orange, mustard or rust red. The white then becomes the ‘pop’ color.

Question

Can pink go with a navy dress that has white polka dots?

Community Answer

It can. However, remember to avoid wearing too many bright colours. If the pink is a paler pink, this would look better than wearing neon, bright or dark pink. Use your judgement, and don't wear too many accessories as your outfit will look too busy.

Question

What color shoes do I wear with a red polka dot dress?

Community Answer

You can pair red with many colours. Black shoes can look sexy or professional, gold will make it look fancy and more for a party, red will simply match. I recommend not wearing orange, blue, green or any other bright colour as that will make the outfit too busy.

Red shoes and a purse would look great in addition to the outfit. However, if your sweater is neon, it may look too busy.

Question

I am wearing black polka dot culottes. What color shoes should l wear?

Community Answer

It really depends on what colour your top is. Black will match, but don't wear black shoes if your top is black. Yellow will add a fun splash of colour. Red will look good depending on what other accessories you wear. Don't be too matchy matchy, but don't go overboard with colourful accessories.

Question

How do I pick my shoes with my polka dot dress?

Community Answer

If you want to look professional, ankle boots or comfortable heels will look great. For a casual look, you can wear sneakers, ankle boots or sandals in summer. Strappy heels or long boots will be good for a party.
