What kind of shoes to wear with a dress like this?

[nanodyne]

I have a dress like this (although mine is silky and slightly more kimono-ish in the fit) that I like to wear for evening things - dinners, drinks that sort of thing - but I really struggle with shoes. I've tried nude kitten heel things and my Dr. Martens but neither was quite right and trainers generally wouldn't work for the types of places I tend to eat/drink. I have very small feet so generally avoid skyscraper heels if I can. Help!

Velvet dms go with everything

I'd wear with ankle boots (western heel) or platform dms.

I like the idea of grey lace up ankle boots. or velvet chelsea boots perhaps?

I don't like the idea of trainers.

I'd wear that dress with black or possibly coloured opaque tights and flat, lace up boots.

Lanx Chipping boots

I'd also wear it with flat pumps. Flat loafers or brogues would work too, if they're your thing.

Or alternatively, these from Zara?

Thanks for the suggestion, definitely seems like an ankle boot situation!

@Aixellency those bronze ones are gorgeous, definitely going on the Christmas list 😁
