What Colour Shoes to Wear with Light Blue Shirt Dress

The best shoe colours to wear with a light blue shirt dress are black and white. Black is a neutral, so it lets light blue be the accent without clashing. Grey, cream, brown and dark brown also work. Be careful with red: light blue and red are opposites on the colour wheel; at full brightness they clash. Mute one.
