What Colour Shoes to Wear with Olive Leggings

The best shoe colours to wear with olive leggings are white, tan and black. Two neutrals with clear contrast: olive and white always sit well together. Cream, grey, beige and navy also work. Be careful with red and burgundy: ballet flats are dressier than leggings, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: olive is a neutral, so it lets red be the accent without clashing.
