What Colour Shoes to Wear with Yellow Maxi Dress

The best shoe colours to wear with a yellow maxi dress are white, black and dark brown. White is a neutral, so it lets yellow be the accent without clashing. Brown, beige, cream and tan also work. Be careful with red: two bright colours with no clear relationship (yellow, red) compete; add a neutral between them.
