7 Best Shoe Colors That Go With a Yellow Dress

Are you wondering which color shoes to wear with your yellow dress? If so, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re attending a wedding or a more laid-back party, I’m sure that this guide will help you find the perfect pair of shoes for your outfit!

Nude, silver, gold, brown or white shoes are an excellent choice to look classy and keep the spotlight on your yellow dress. But if you want to go bolder and add contrast to your outfit, pick a pair of black or hot pink heels for a more daring look.

Even if there’s no right or wrong, it’s always important to consider the occasion before picking the right pair for your outfit. With that in mind, I’ll explain in detail when to choose each shoe color and give you some tips on what accessories go best with them!

What color shoes go with a yellow dress?

Since a yellow dress is already quite bold and eye-catching, we should always consider the occasion before choosing the right shoes to complement it.

But don’t worry! Here you’ll find the best shoe colors to complement your outfit, whether for an evening party or a casual event:

1. Nude or Beige

Knowing that many of you have a lot of doubts about which shoe color goes well with a yellow dress, let me say that you can’t go wrong by picking a pair of nude heels.

Nude-heeled sandals, for example, are an excellent choice for a more subtle yet elegant look. If you’re going to be a bridesmaid or want to keep the attention on your dress, nude shoes are always a safe bet!

But if you’re attending a wedding as a bridesmaid, always check with the bride first if she has a specific color in mind for the shoes.

If it’s up to you, go for nude or beige strappy sandals in a shade close to your skin tone, especially if it’s a summer wedding. This elegant shoe option will even elongate your silhouette and make you look taller!

As for accessories, I would pick silver earrings and a white purse to keep the spotlight on the dress. On the other hand, a lavender or light blue clutch bag is also an excellent choice for a spring or summer party.

2. Silver

Once again, if you have been invited to be a bridesmaid at a wedding or you’re looking for a more subtle shoe option, know you can’t go wrong by pairing your yellow dress with silver shoes!

In fact, silver heels or pumps are a versatile option that can be worn on any occasion and with virtually any dress, no matter the color.

So whether you’re attending a wedding or any other special event, this is an excellent choice for a more sophisticated outfit. It will look elegant and sexy, especially if you wear a split dress!

This combo will look amazing with silver accessories. But if you want to add a pop of color to your outfit, pick a purple, hot pink, or navy blue clutch bag instead!

3. Gold

Is there a more luxurious combo than a yellow dress with gold shoes?

Whether for a wedding or a glamorous evening party, I love how a long yellow dress looks absolutely gorgeous with gold heels. In fact, if you want to look like a goddess, this is the perfect shoe color for your outfit!

Plus, a pair of gold heels or pumps are a versatile shoe option that can be worn with practically any dress you have in your wardrobe.

To complete this outfit, I suggest you choose gold accessories and nude nails to keep your overall look classy and timeless. But if you want to go bolder, pick a daring red nail polish instead!

4. White

If you’re looking for a more casual outfit, white shoes are a great choice to pair with your yellow dress.

However, white heels or pumps are also perfect for formal events, like a summer wedding. In fact, they will make you look elegant and give you a more delicate and romantic vibe that’s perfect for any special event in the warmer months!

At the same time, like nude or metallic shoes, this is a versatile shoe option that can be worn on any occasion and with any dress.

If you’re attending a spring or summer party, pair this combo with silver jewelry and a white or light blue clutch bag to keep things classy!

5. Brown

Like nude or metallic, brown shoes will also match almost anything! Perfect for a laid-back party or formal event, this classy and versatile shoe color will look especially good with dresses in brighter colors like yellow.

So, if you want to keep the spotlight on your dress without going too bold, pick a pair of caramel brown heels or pumps. You can’t go wrong, especially if attending an outdoor wedding or any other daytime party.

As for accessories, I recommend pairing this combo with silver jewelry and a silver or white purse to create an elegant and delicate summer look.

6. Black

To make your yellow dress stand out, you can be more daring by picking a shoe color that creates more contrast, such as black.

In fact, black heels or pumps are an elegant option for any formal occasion, including a wedding (unless you’re a bridesmaid). In that case, the best option will always be nude or metallic shoes to keep the focus on your dress.

If invited to a more glamorous evening party, I would match this bolder look with silver jewelry, black nails, and a sophisticated black or purple clutch bag.

Personally, I love how a pair of hot pink or fuchsia heels or pumps can create an unexpected yet sophisticated look. This bolder option is perfect for a daytime summer party and will leave no one around you indifferent!

Since this shoe color is already quite daring, I recommend matching it with silver accessories.
