What Colour Shoes to Wear with Burgundy Blouse

The best shoe colours to wear with a burgundy blouse are tan, black and dark brown. Tan is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing. Beige, white, cream and brown also work. Be careful with navy: sneakers are more casual than a blouse, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: burgundy adds depth to navy without shouting; common in autumn tailoring.
