Burgundy Dress With Nude Heels on Black Woman
I recently chatted with a friend about my writing a blog post about the best shoes to wear with black dress. And she asked me if there were shoes that didn't look good with a black dress. And she has a bit of a point.

PART 1: Neutral Shoe Shades with Black Dresses
As go-to color shoes to wear with black dresses, neutral shades can't be beat due to 2 main factors:
- We have a high likelihood of having them in our closets already
- They're a stylish no-nonsense shoe shade pairing with black outfits
Below are my favorites:
1. Black Dress With Nude Shoes / Beige Shoes
Black dress nude shoes? Yes please! One of my go-to shoe colors to pair with (almost) any colour dress is nude (whatever that means for your skin tone) and beige. Rose gold works just as well. Because when your shoes match your skin tone, it will elongate your legs while allowing your dress to take centre stage. But a lighter tone also looks great!
Beige and blush shoe shades are also extremely flattering, no matter what your skin color. And they are more subdued than, say, wearing a bright white, or even off white pair of heels. Neutral shoe colors are my fave colors for wearing a sweater dress with boots!

2. Black Dress with Silver Shoes & Metallics
Shop Gold Shoes:
Shop Silver Shoes:
Yes, metallics is a neutral in my eyes, especially when it comes to silver. But don't discount gold or rose gold metallic hues which do well when paired with similar colored jewelry or handbags.
Metallic shoes (especially silver!) are a surefire answer to the "what color shoes to wear with navy dresses" question too. The little stilleto'd strappy number by Chinese Laundry from Nordstrom has been favourite of my reader's this season & is priced at under $100!
3. Black Shoes with Black Dress
Black on black on black on…(well you get my drift!) never goes out of style. It's a chic pairing for an easy yet chic office look, or a glam cocktail way to dress. You can play with textures & materials here to have more fun with your black shoes. Try a reptile embossed pump, patent sandal or velvet brogues to add more interest to your black dress with black shoes outfit.

4. Black Dress White Shoes
A black dress with white shoes give a stark contrast for those who prefer to keep things monochrome. Best of all, white shoes pair perfectly with pretty much any other dress color, so a definite must for any woman's shoe closet!
Shop White Shoes:
5. Black & White Shoes
If black shoes and white shoes go with a black dress, then why to try a black & white shoe combo with your black outfit? The black element will tie in with your black dress, while the white (or even silver) will make for a lovely fresh contrast.

6. Brown Shoes with Black Dresses
Can you wear brown shoes with a black dress , you ask? Yes, YES you can! Black outfits with brown shoes is the perfect shade to wear for a more casual, bohemian vibe & I'm quite partial to cognac brown, myself, like the outfit above in the middle, but darker brown shades such a chocolate work well too.
Shop Brown/Tan/Caramel Shoes:
PART 2: Contrast Color Shoes With Black Dresses
7. Bright, Colorful shoes with a Black Dress
One of my fave suggestions when asked the "what color shoes with black dress es work best" is definitely color! And the brigher the better! You can even go for a satin or high shine patent version of a bright color to be that much extra.
Or, if you want to add some color but don't want to be too flashy about it, burgundy shoes will add less playful, but very sophisticated touch to your black dress or outfit.

7a. Black Dress Pink Shoes
Pink is so darn popular right now, that it deserves it own mention! If you want to add a pop of color to your black dress through your shoes, but want to be VERY fashionable, pink shoes are where it at.
Whether it be a hot pink, or a softer shade, you will be wearing the more fashionable color on your feet! And of course, pink shoes look stunning with black outfits!

8. Black Dress with Leopard Shoes & Reptile Prints
If you're looking for playful color shoes to wear with a black dress, then animal prints are where it's at. Not as contrasting as a bright colour, but a snake, leopard or cheetah print will add texture to your outfit, while remaining fairly neutral. So essentially, you're getting the best of all worlds!
