The Best Shoe Colors To Wear With Green Dresses
Do you have a green dress you’re dying to wear but just can’t figure out what shoes to wear it with? No sweat! We’re covering the 9 best shoes for green dresses to help make the decision easier for you.
There are so many shades of green from emerald green to hunter green, neon green, to apple green, and more. Typically, the lighter, brighter greens are worn in the warmer months and the deeper greens are worn in the colder months, but there is no set rule.
Deeper greens are generally worn for special occasions like weddings, bat mitzvahs, etc. while a lime green might be best suited for something such as a bachelorette party or a date night.
However, no matter the occasion, you shouldn’t steer clear of a beautiful green dress just because you don’t know which color of shoes is the best choice.
Every fashionista knows that the right shoes can make the outfit.
So without further ado, let’s get into this list of the best shoes for green dresses!
The Best Shoes For Green Dresses
1) Green Dress With Nude Shoes
A tan/nude shoe is the perfect neutral color and the most popular choice for just about any shade of green. If you need a “safe” option, this is it.
However, the right shade of “nude” will vary from person to person. The darker your skin the darker the nude shade will be and vice versa.
You want a nude that will complement your skin tone, not wash it out.
Nude Boots, booties, pumps, sandals, etc., all work well with green dresses.

2) Yellow shoes
One of the latest trends is pairing bright colors together. Pairing yellow pumps with a green cocktail dress for example is an easy way to instantly create a more fun look. Pumps are perfect shoes for a dressier look while yellow suede closed-toe heels are better for less formal styles.
It can be a bit more difficult to style yellow shoes with a green dress for more formal occasions, but a pair of shoes like this would be your best option in that scenario.

3) Green Dress With Black Shoes
Can you wear black shoes with a vibrant green dress? Sure can sis! Just like nude, black is a versatile color and is a pretty safe bet no matter what color you pair it with.
Since black is such a common shoe color, it makes it easy to swap out your shoes depending on the occasion.
Heading to a wedding? Strappy black heels. Need shoes for a more casual look? Ankle boots or flat sandals will do the trick.

4) Green Shoes With A Green Dress
Another less-risky option is to wear a green pair of shoes with your green dress. You will want to be careful though as you can easily make them clash.
When opting for a pair of green shoes to match a green dress you want to make sure the greens complement each other. A dark green dress with green shoes in a lighter shade probably won’t mesh. Your best bet is to wear your dress and shoes in the exact same shade.Â

5) Gold Shoes With A Green Dress
Ahhhh gold. The sister to nude. A little more eye-catching and bold, but beautiful nonetheless.
If you choose gold, try to keep the actual gold detail minimal. Gold tends to look best on strappy sandals and is a great way to achieve a more elegant look.

6) White Shoes With A Green Dress
White shoes complement a green dress perfectly in the summertime. While not everyone gets a tan (or wants to get a tan) there is just something so beautiful about a green-and-white combo against beautifully bronzed skin!
Additionally, if you’re wearing a more casual type of dress, white sneakers are a comfortable yet trendy way to make your outfit pop. Looking great AND feeling great? Winning combo!

7) Green Dress With Silver Shoes
This is a pairing you’ll likely only use when headed to a formal event. However, the great thing about metallic shoes is that they can be worn with so many colors. This makes them a staple item to have in your closet year-round.

8) Brown Shoes
Brown is another neutral that pairs beautifully with green. Dark brown tends to look a bit woodsy but a chocolate brown is always a great option.
For example, a green dress with the right pair of chocolate brown boots is a sophisticated look.

9) Clear Shoes
Clear is another perfect choice for the warmer months. If you’re wearing a neon or lime green it can help to keep the focus on the bold color of the dress while also helping to create a longer, leaner look.

10) Patterned Shoes
Finding a pair of animal print shoes or patterned heels that compliment your dress takes the fun factor from 1 to 10! While patterned pumps and sandals are harder to come by, bright colors and unexpected combos can make a huge statement if styled the right way.

FAQs
What is the best color to wear with green?
While the best color shoes to wear with a green dress is of course always a personal opinion, we think that nude is the winner. It doesn’t take away from your dress but it definitely can and will flatter your look if chosen properly.
If I’m wearing an olive green dress what color shoes should I wear?
Nude shoes tend to go best with these hues of green. Nude high heels, sandals, and knee-high boots (pending the dress style of course) are some of the best options.
