What Colour Shoes to Wear with Pink Dress Shirt

The best shoe colours to wear with a pink dress shirt are brown, black and tan. Loafers are more casual than a dress shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: brown is a neutral, so it lets pink be the accent without clashing. Dark brown also works. Be careful with burgundy: loafers are more casual than a dress shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: pink and burgundy sit next to each other on the colour wheel, so they blend (analogous).
