What Colour Shoes to Wear with Green Dress

The best shoe colours to wear with a green dress are white, black and dark brown. White is a neutral, so it lets green be the accent without clashing. Tan, beige, cream and grey also work. Be careful with burgundy and red: green and burgundy can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit.

Avoid

Combinations to skip

Skip the red heels. Pure red and green together read as festive; mute one of them.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than a dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: green and light blue can work together if a neutral anchors the outfit.
