The Best Shoe Colors To Wear With A White Dress
When styling your outfit and choosing your shoes, the style of the dress will always come into play.
However, once you’ve decided what vibe your outfit will be, choosing the right shoes for a white dress outfit is really quite simple.
1 – Nude Shoes
Nude and white is a perfect combination.
Nude heels paired with a white dress will elongate the legs.
They’re also incredibly sexy.
Nude booties and boots also help to do the same and work with both longer and shorter dresses.
These nude wedge sandals are incredibly comfortable and fit true to size.
We love them because they work well with dresses but also pair well with denim shorts and jeans.
Whether it’s a formal event or a more casual outing, nude shoes are a great choice.
The one thing you want to take into consideration when choosing nude or beige shoes is your skin color.
There are so many color options in the nude/beige color family, and you want to choose one that doesn’t wash you out.
If you have very fair skin, opt for a darker nude.
Alternatively, if you have dark skin, look for a shoe in a lighter shade of nude.
2 – Black Shoes
Should you wear black shoes with a white dress? Heck yeah!
Pairing black shoes with a little white dress is a classic choice that creates a timeless look.
If you’re opting for a casual dress, try teaming it with sneakers or loafers for a cool, off-duty vibe.
Dressier styles can be styled with heels, either in a classic pump or a more on-trend mule.
If you really want to make a statement, go for a pair of bold, printed heels.
No matter what shoe you choose, keeping your accessories minimal will help to keep the focus on your outfit.
So ditch the heavy jewelry in favor of delicate pieces, and carry a simple clutch or handbag.
With these styling tips in mind, you’ll be able to rock black shoes with a white dress like a pro.

Clear is an excellent choice when you want to look great but don’t want to stand out from the crowd.
The style of shoe you choose is a personal preference, however, clear wedges are a popular choice for a summer look while clear closed-toe shoes are worn more often for winter occasions.

A flowy maxi dress goes well with clear sandals, while a more fitted dress looks great with clear heels.

Metallic shoes are the perfect choice for party time!
Gold adds a touch of luxury and glamour to any outfit, but can also be dressed down for a more casual look.

First, consider the overall tone of your outfit.
If you’re going for a more elegant look, consider gold ankle strap heels.
For a fun and festive look, try pairing your dress with metallic sneakers or sandals.
Accessorize with gold jewelry to complete the look.
Whatever you do, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles – after all, fashion is all about having fun!

If your dress is stark white, a bright green heel will make a statement.

If you’re going for a more muted look, dark forest green shoes are a great option.

Brown is a great color choice for the winter months.
Take a simple sweater dress up a notch with brown knee-high boots to create a chic yet comfortable outfit.
11 – Silver Shoes
A special occasion such as a wedding is where you’ll often see more silver shoes than anywhere else.
However, you don’t have to save your silver heels for special events.
Pair silver rhinestone heels with a white dress for date night or girls’ night out and polish off the look with a fun jacket or statement purse.
For a winter look, check out these silver ankle boots.
12 – Orange Shoes
I found the cutest orange strappy sandals (shown above) last year and they are the perfect pair of shoes to complement a white dress.
While they might be a bit too racy for a special event like a wedding, they are definitely a great choice for clubwear, date night, or going out with friends.

13 – Yellow Shoes
I love wearing bright colors in the warmer months.
And what better way to add some color to your white dress on a hot summer day than with a pop of yellow heels?!
You’ll most often find yellow shoes in the form of lace up heels, sandals, and pumps.
However, you can sometimes find them in other styles, like these pointed-toe flats.
14 – Red
Red shoes are sexy and bold.
While they might not be the best choice for everyday wear, a pointed-toe pump with stud details or classic pumps are both great choices for more formal occasions, while something like red knee boots would be better for a date night or night out with friends.
There are so many various shades of red that you’re bound to find one that suits both your outfit and your personality.
15 – Snakeskin Or Leopard Print
If your dress is an off-white or winter white, try snakeskin or leopard print shoes.
The best shoe styles for these prints are boots, but you can sometimes find other styles that work as well.
I love knee-high snakeskin boots because they add a bit more style without being over the top.
16 – Purple Shoes
For an edgy look, try pairing your favorite white dress with a pair of purple shoes.
Since purple shoes aren’t as common, you may not find as many to choose from, but we love this pair above!
Conclusion

If you still get nervous about your color selection, just remember that you can never go wrong with neutral tones.
