I have this dress for an event at a local hotel but I am not sure what shoes to wear with it. Any ideas?

A beautiiful suede heeled court shoe to ooze elegance! Probably tan with matching clutch (also suede) bag to complement!
Less is more for an Autumn patterned dress like this! Nothing speaks more than elegant and unfussy!

Lovely dress! I think I would go for some gold espadrille wedges - something like this: https://www.next.co.uk/style/su189341/y43464

Sorry, but ankle boots look hideous with any dress or skirt.

Thanks for letting me you old style hound you 🙄

If OP wanted a ChatGPT answer, they would have used that instead of MN

Oh well I guess Chat got its super exuberant tone from somewhere. Not a compliment IMO, but as long as you're happy 👍

As we're going into Autumn, I'd wear knee high tan boots. Wedge heel or flat .. That'd look great!

Is MN always this mean (looking at unnecessarily nasty comments above)

Gorgeous dress and such a bargain if you got it at that price.

Personally, I'd wear it with some gold platforms like this but I love a bit of bling. I have the silver version of these and they are incredibly comfortable. I'm keeping the summer footwear for as long as possible...

Second vote for these. Very sophisticated.

Brown suede court shoe.

I think ankle boots and a skirt can look fab together. See photo. However I do think it’s more of a day time look though?

For what I presume is an evening do in a hotel I’d go for strappy heels. In red, or brown. I do like the green heels someone posted down thread.

What shoes would you wear with this brown midi dress?

Personally, I’d add a bit of gold or silver and match with the same colour earrings. If in doubt, metallic shoes go with most things. Have a good time.

Can we stop with this hunting out AI nonsense.
I was also accused of it on a different thread, because I dared to use paragraphs.

I don't think it's necessarily nonsense to call it out, but you make a fair point since one can never be 100% sure.
I shall go and ponder why it gives me such a massive ick when I (think) I see it 🤔

Paragraphs! Weird that as the AI ones I've seen have a consistent lack of paragraphs and good grammar. Maybe that's why yours was suspicious to some ; )
