Nude or black shoes with this dress

I am wearing this dress to an evening do, probably with some sort of shawl or coverup as it won’t be warm.

i have some black platform sandals that don’t look too bad with it, but not sure if nude may be better? And any ideas what to coverup with?! I’ve not been to anything like this in years 😫

No boots, if posible matching shoes and clutch bag/hand purse. Maybe a fluffy shawl?

A vote for gold!

Stumpedasatree · 20/01/2024 21:03

Love the blue metallic ones!!! @Peaceandquietandacuppa 😍I think I prefer them to gold and silver.

I once read on here that bright colours and black don’t work, it ‘cheapens’ one or the other, can’t remember which. I thought at the time it was bunkum, but sadly have completely come round to agreeing. Irritating really.

Yes, agree with this

Mumaway · 20/01/2024 21:19

I would go metallic.

Coat is in the Wallis sale, shoes, Very. Less than £100 all in if they’re available in your size. When I attach the link the message won’t send.

I would be tempted to go for a berry pink/purple personally but I know some people don’t go for the sort of opposites thing.

If your buying new shoes I think sliver or gold would look nice, or a contrasting bold colour.

Ibesexy2 · 20/01/2024 22:44

Definitely nude shoes

SuperDopper · 20/01/2024 23:20

Grey. Grey is a very under appreciated colour in shoes.

The right shade works beautifully with green.

MrsTwatInAHat · 21/01/2024 00:09

Immediately thought bright pink like some pps!

selfishmeow · 21/01/2024 00:11

Gold shoes

I think both colours would work but tbh the style of the shoe matters more. I think it needs to be quite strappy, courts would look wrong. Platforms don’t always look great with this less dress.

bessytedsy · 21/01/2024 00:35

I personally hate the pashmina thing & would chose an opera style coat in velvet/silk etc

geoger · 21/01/2024 04:13

Gold strappy sandals (no platforms plz)
otherwise the nude shoes you have

Tomatina · 21/01/2024 04:40

Probably a controversial opinion but I'd go for ruby red or raspberry red. And definitely not platforms or anything clunky. Love the dress.

steff13 · 21/01/2024 04:57

I have always thought a nude shoe was more for a daytime event, whereas black is more for evening.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 21/01/2024 07:09

TheMarsBarRover · 20/01/2024 10:51

I nearly always say black shoes but this is one of the rare cases I'd pick nude shoes instead.

Lovely colour dress.

Me too. I don't even own any nude shoes. I'd have to go out and buy them.

VoldemortsKitten · 21/01/2024 08:08

Non heel wearer here too! I would go with these shoes (linked by a PP) they look delicate from the front but have a stable heel that you will def be able to dance in!

Love the dress btw 😊

Gorgeous dress. I would wear grey suede shoes. Or silver. Or gold.
Agree delicate strappy sandals would look good but I can't wear them.

Divebar2021 · 21/01/2024 08:33

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anyone wear nude shoes…. Especially heels. That seems very dated ( as does the idea of a pashmina or shawl.). Shoe wise I would wear a hot pink or one of the many gold shoes that have been posted. I think I’d clash the bag so if I went gold shoes I’d go pink bag. ( Or a similarly clashing colour similar in tone) I’m not sure about cover ups but I’d probably look for a second hand opera coat or something a bit fancy / fun.
