What colour shoes (and bag) for this dress for an end of October wedding?

Have to be wide fit and not super strappy. Block heels rather than skinny heels as just cannot do with the pain anymore.

My usual style is.....maximalist shall we say. Love colour and leopard print and loud vintage blouses.

Black seems safe but boring. Blue or green too matchy matchy. Hate nude shoes. Silver/gold seem a bit old fashioned.

Any other ideas? Have pale skin and currently auburn hair.

I think you could go super bright on the other side of the colour spectrum for a complete contrast - so bright pink, red, orange?

Trickedbyadoughnut · 24/07/2023 09:50

Yes, I was going to say bright pink. Don't know if these would be too strappy.

MayIDestroyYou · 24/07/2023 09:54

Those might be too strappy - but it’s really the colour and velvet I’m suggesting.

AreolaGrande · 24/07/2023 10:50

Bright pink was my first thought too 😀 (purple and yellow being 2 and 3). I don't suit red or orange.

@Trickedbyadoughnut your link doesn't work for me.

@MayIDestroyYou love the colour of those. Think I'm going to go for metallic rather than velvet as dress is velvet too and I prefer a mix of textures.

Off to hunt!

Orange for me

Sorry, they're wide fit bright pink sandals with block heel on ASOS by New Look. There are a few versions on there.

I'd say orange or yellow. Bright pink isn't as much of a contrast.

KnickersBockersGlory · 24/07/2023 21:04

First thought was bright pink, second thought was orange.

@KnickersBockersGlory Those Faith ones are absolutely perfect but unfortunately aren't wide fit 😭.

Any similar ones that I've found in wide fit just aren't as nice or the heel is too low. The search continues....

AreolaGrande · 26/07/2023 16:39

@justaweeone the first ones are lovely but the heel isn't high enough. I need a good heel, just not a skinny stiletto one. Thanks for looking.
