What colour shoes with these navy dresses?

[HolidaysQueen]

I'm returning to work in 3 weeks and have just been to Monsoon and bought two lovely navy dresses - one is plain, and one has white embroidery.

What colour shoes would be best to go with them? I thought tan or grey would look good with the plain one, but not sure if that would work with the white embroidery of the other.

they're lovely dresses.

agree that tan wouldn't go with the embroidery, but a mid flat grey would probably go. Before I read you had a colour in mind, I was going to say red.

i do have some fab red heels which i also thought would be great, but might be a bit racy for work so trying to find another option!

i'd defo go for the racy red ones for the plain dress, poss an accessory or two?
I really love the one with the embroidery, ...though i have to say that I would be tempted to go for something navy with it [boring emoticon] just to avoid upstaging the embroidery and ending up hotchpotch. But then again, I think navy heels would look really classy - even navy patent ballet pumps.

I'd go red too!

What about nude/flesh toned. Will elongate the leg, and have the bonus of going with a lot of other colours too?

bare feet then wombling

Love that plain dress - am off to buy it!!!!

Lol Gigglewitch, well named too

I meant nude coloured shoes, of course!

How about sandals in the hope we get some better weather soon.

these would look great with the first dress

Red is my instinctive response. Gap have some red patent ballet pumps if you are happy with completely flat. Otherwise I think either tan or navy patent would be good, wouldn't go for grey though.

these dresses are nice

id go for red patent
or emerald
the navy and white one would be nice with white sandals/wedges

oooooh

You could coordinate a cardigan, shoes and bag on the plain navy dress to give it a bit more personality.

The embroidered one needs tan leather accessories.

navy and white

nayv red and white sandals

dressy navy flats

another flats

red. definitely.

I wear purpley pink patent shoes (Clarks, last season but lots of same colour about in shops still) with navy trousers, and the contrast works really well. Have a matching bag to pull it together a bit.

Agree on red also.

you guys are fab. i will be posting on here more often

woodenchair - i saw those exact shoes in clarks today and wondered if they would work!

ooh nailpolish. i'm salivating. and putting dune shoes on my back-to-work shopping list!

Hmmm.....I would be concerned that red heels with navy dress would look a bit "cabin crew".....imo but red flats would be good.

I think tan or navy heels or flats would look fab for spring or summer.

i now want a pair of tan heels after this thread! going to start another...
