I have bought today a really nice navy dress today but am now unsure as to what colour shoes to wear with it. Have been looking at navy shoes but do you think that will be too much? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

red
pink
sometimes brown

black

Red might look a bit "air hostessey".

nancy75 · 31/01/2009 12:35

silver

cocolepew · 31/01/2009 12:38

lime green

Lovemyshoes · 31/01/2009 12:38

Pink (fuschia) or cream

I once had a navyblue and pink dress and it was lovely.

TheFirstLiffey · 31/01/2009 12:38

Silver, yeah, that sounds the best suggestion so far. Dark Grey too.

If you can GET navy shoes they would work too imo.

What about flesh-toned shoes? Make your legs look longer too, as a side benefit?

TheFirstLiffey · 31/01/2009 12:43

ps op, link to the dress, i would like a navy dress.

lumpsdumps · 31/01/2009 13:01

Hi would love to link to the dress but it's not on the website yet, which is annoying, there is another navy dress on it though. Principles is the site. Lots of navy on there now.

wow, how did you get that?? I want a navy shirt dress. firetrap do a black shirtdress but i want a NAVY one.

Have been looking for a navy one!

lumpsdumps · 31/01/2009 13:15

Sometimes things go into the stores before they appear on the website, I work for the company and I usually pick up things within the stores way before they appear on the website. There is another shirt dress on the website that you might like.

going out on the razz

comfy

I am going to a school reunion in May and I want a dress that is dressed up enough so that I don't feel underdressed or frumpy or boring. I want to feel stylish but without looking like I've tried to hard. I had decided that a well-accessorised navy shirt dress would be perfect and I just couldn't find one, so thanks!!! I like the black firetrap one (littlewoods) and would've settled for that in the end if I couldn't track down a navy one..

twinsetandpearls · 31/01/2009 13:29

I wear red with navy, nude can also look good.

andyrobo237 · 31/01/2009 21:47

yellow!!!

The local TV weather girl has a pair of yellow high heeled shoes that she must love as she wears them once a week!! They look fab with a navy suit or dress. Not sure I would get a yellow bag though!!

It is just one step on from gold shoes which my friend had or her bridesmaids who wore navy dresses.

I like these

plod · 01/02/2009 13:54

Yellow, cream or gold. Definitely not red or black. Boring same old. Even go with nautical white but be careful on the style if opt for white ones.

monkeysmama · 01/02/2009 20:40

"Nude" shoes are very now. I would never go with white shoes apart from maybe flip flops in the summer. Grey is another option. Nude shoes are everywhere at the moment - have a look at shoe studio

ZZZen · 01/02/2009 20:42

what style dres is it? If fairly conservative/formal I'd go for beige.

browntrout · 01/02/2009 20:57

something like this would look very sexy and elegant. these on the pricey side.

monkeysmama · 01/02/2009 21:11

I agree with browntrout - I'd go for those too. Subtle enough but would look great in day or evening.

lumpsdumps · 01/02/2009 21:30

they are amazing shoes. love them just haven't got the cash for them . Zzzen there is a link to the dress, but that one is black.

these are similar(ish) and a very good price tho only if you are less than a size 7;

i also quite like these. it could go wrong with some outfits but i think would look quite classy with this dress;

ZZZen · 02/02/2009 21:19

ok seen the dress now. I think you need something stronger than beige with that look

but what?
