What colour accessories to style this dress with?

I'm wearing this dress to a wedding in August and don't know what colour to compliment it? I've got blonde hair, massive ugly wide feet that are far too big for my 5ft 3 frame, so pointed shoes are out. Anyone able to help? Thank you

Gosh that's hard because it's such a block of primary colour and an exact match would be hard to find (and/or look a bit mad 😁).

You could go all Mondrian and get bright red/yellow/white shoes and bag... or maybe transparent shoes?!

I would go for gold or silver (depending on your skintone) - perfectly fine for daytime IMO and they are super versatile with lots of other outfits.

Silver would look nice with it

Love the dress, simple but striking.
I'm by no means a fashionista but I'd probably choose a metallic gold, or silver if that suits your colouring better.
If you wanted a bolder colour combination, hot pink or orange.
Raffia bags seem to be very popular this year and would go well.

Next have these Raffia heels which I think would look lovely

I think these would look great too, they'd add some texture & shape to the block of blue of the dress.

I think it would look great with raffia, gold, bright orange or fuchsia pink accessories

Neat navy courts to minimise the feet. Not a thick, block heel. My feet are shaped like bricks so I feel your pain.

Accessories: lemon, bright pink, dusty pink, silver or gold

I would wear yellow or orange accessories with this

I have this dress !
Wore it out to dinner last night with silver shoes and a small straw handbag - we are on holiday .
Silver jewellery to complete the look.

Wow thanks all, I never thought of silver or gold! @TheSandgroper awful having huge feet isn't it!

I like the raffia too

@ElsieJay ah it's a great dress, I wanted something plain as florals make me look huge, what jewellery did you wear? I can no longer wear earrings and I'm having my hair up.

for the shoe, possibly something asymmetric @narcASD

flippinnorastights · 05/07/2026 12:08

Gold or silver sandals

Small solid teardrop earrings, plain silver bangle and a silver chain with two interlocking cubic zirconia circles, for a bit of sparkle !
