What Colour Shoes to Wear with Light Blue Sundress

The best shoe colours to wear with a light blue sundress are black and white. Black is a neutral, so it lets light blue be the accent without clashing. Grey, cream, navy and brown also work. Avoid red: ballet flats are dressier than a sundress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue and red are opposites on the colour wheel; at full brightness they clash. Mute one.
