Black Shoes with a White Dress

Black heels, boots, and even sneakers are great for pairing with an off-white dress. Why off-white? Black and bright white are complete opposites and can be harsh on the eyes, especially if it is a long white dress. 

Keep in mind, when wear black shoes to incorporate other black accessories. Belts, hats, purse, and sunglasses are great accessories that will help balance of the contrasting colors.

What Type of Shoes to Wear with a White Dress

We just covered 10 popular shoe colors to wear with a white dress. While this list was not all inclusive, you may have other color shoes you want to wear with a white dress, and that’s great!

Because white is neutral, and essentially colorless, white can be worn with nearly any shoe color.

Now, you may be wondering what type of shoes can you wear with a white dress. Here are a few of my top recommendations.

Heels with a White Dress

For dressy and formal occasions, heels are a great way to elevate any white dress. gold and silver are excellent options for formal events. For a more casual look, opt for a nude or blush tone heel.

When wearing heels, with any color dress, keep in mind the length of the dress. Maxi dresses should be just long enough to cover a portion of the heel or hit just at the ankle for a flattering proportion. Most midi-length and short white dresses pair well with heels.

Sandals with a White Dress

Sandals are the shoe of choice for warm weather outfits. These are the perfect option to wear with your favorite white dress, including linen dresses, beach coverups, white floral dresses, and more!

Sneakers with a White Dress

White sneakers paired with a white dress is the ultimate casual chic look. Other sneakers colors will work well too! 

If pairing bold sneakers with a white dress, try contrasting the sneakers with a layer over the dress. Layer options include a denim jacket, utility jacket, blazer, or cardigan.

Flats with a White Dress

If your white dress is more structured, such as a mini dress or shift dress, flats are a great shoe to wear with it. 

Printed flats are best to wear with solid white dresses, while solid color flats complement printed white dresses best.

Boots with a White Dress

Boots can be worn with a white dress. I personally love boots paired with white, creamy, sweater dresses. 

For midi or long white dresses, opt for tall ankle boots, combat, or knee high boots. Short white dresses pair well with knee high or over-the-knee boots.

What Color Shoes to Wear with a White Dress in the Summer?

As with most outfits, it is important to consider the occasion and the weather when planning an outfit. Next, consider the style of dress. The most common white dress to wear in the summer is a flowy maxi linen blend or cotton dress.

Sandals and wedges work best with a flowy sundress. If your white summer dress is more structured, opt for a pair of nude heels or strappy heeled sandals.

Summer is also a perfect time to includes pops of color, so be sure to incorporate bold shoe colors if you want!

What Color Shoes to Wear with a White Dress in the Fall?

When I think of fall fashion, I think of earthy neutral colors. Therefore, I would recommend pairing a white dress with brown, black, white, or nude tones in the Fall. Ultimately, whatever color you decide to wear should adhere to the occasion and weather!

What Color Shoes to Wear with a White Dress in the Winter?

Black, brown, red, emerald green, gold, and silver are great Winter shoe colors to consider wearing with a white dress.

Black and Brown for more casual, everyday wear. 

Red and emerald green for holiday events.

Gold and silver for formal events, NYE, and more!
