What color shoes to wear with a yellow dress?
Yellow is a very versatile color, and so it becomes difficult to narrow down what color or shade of shoes you want to pick. However, most colors do look good with yellow, as yellow is also a primary color.
So here we have for you, colors of shoes that go with all the tints, tones, and shades of yellow that you probably have in your yellow dress.
Nude for a Win
There is this thing about Nude shade; it is the safest choice you can make whenever you are in doubt. It goes with all the hues and makes every outfit look so accurately styled.
The same is with yellow. Nude footwear brings attention to your outfit rather than your feet. It also gives your outfit an exquisite yet casual look that you can have for your office, brunch, dinner, or any such occasion when you want to look chic yet simple.
Nudes have become so popular and closet essentials that you definitely would already have them if you have a clustered wardrobe. And even if you don’t, adding them would likely be a one-time investment.
So if you are looking for simple footwear that does not demand a lot of hassle while making you look elegant and, chic nudes can be the perfect choice you can make.
Black for Bold and Elegance
If you are someone who wants to make a bold style statement, black color should be your choice.
Black pumps and a yellow dress sound like couture, and we know you are ready to take your style game to another level.
Just like nudes, having black pumps in your closet is essential, and probably 10 out of 9 women these days have at least one black footwear in their closet.
Black matches any and every shade with ease without disturbing the visual weight on the upper torso.
Your dress will likely be a focal point and so going black will as well be a bold yet safe choice you will make with a yellow dress.
Some black shoes are more casual than others, and so it will ultimately be your choice how you balance them. They work for every event.
If you have a plain yellow dress irrespective of its tint, tone, and shade, we recommend adding a black waist belt or a black clutch to your outfit to unify the look.
White to Make You Shine
White or off-white shoes are something that will easily make you stand out. This is a spring or summer shade when you are out with your tribe vibing on a beach or a park.
If you want to keep things casual and comfortable, even white sneakers or flats can also be a chic choice you can make to style your yellow dress.
If you want to go a bit overboard without making it look too much of a deal, basic white stilettos or pumps help you lighten up the overall summer look.
White makes a good combination with all the colors, and yellow isn’t an exception. It exhibits warmness by popping the yellow color. So you can be sure your yellow dress has all the attention than just your shoes.
So to feel like a ray of sunshine on snow or the white sands at a beach, styling your yellow dress with white footwear has its own calmness.
Violet to Create a Vibe
Technicalities are often missed when it comes to styling, and that can make you look a bit off even after putting in all your efforts.
This is when you should know about what the experts say while color coordinating outfits.
If keeping things basic isn’t your idea of styling and you want to make a style statement with your yellow dress, violet could be a perfect combination.
Yes, if you observe a color wheel, yellow lies opposite to violet; that is, violet is a complementary color of yellow.
So when any tint, tone, or shade of yellow is styled with any tint, tone, or shade of violet, it creates a styled look.
The same should be applied to styling shoes as well. Styling your yellow dress with violet shoes can make your outfit pop.
Just remember you need to avoid a drab or pale shade of violet if your yellow dress is a bit on the brighter side. You can go for any bold shade of violet without making it look too much or too little.
Always remember, brighter colors go pretty well with contrastingly bright colors when referred to the color wheel.
Animal Print for a Statement look
Lots of colors go really well with a yellow dress, depending on the tint tone and shade of the dress. So to make yourself look elegantly stylish and bold, apart from the color of your shoes, animal print can be chosen.
Animal print adds a bit of a surprising element to the overall look. Depending on what is available, you can make your choice.
Animal prints like leopard, zebra, tiger, or cow are always in trend.
But remember, you are not buying animal print in sneakers. It can simply change the overall look and will be the focal point, eventually taking all the attention from the dress to footwear.
So know that yellow in itself is an intense color, and you don’t want to overdo it either. So make sure the print and style of shoes you choose unify with the dress.
To add balance, you can carry a bag of animal print that you have on your shoes. This will elevate the look, making it even more stylish.
Colour blocking for OTT look
Color blocking is a new trend, followed mainly by celebs around the globe. If you are someone who loves fashion experiments, this one is for you.
Color blocking uses colors in a single outfit or looks that are opposite on the color wheel. As we mentioned, violet shoes with the yellow dress are complementary colors to yellow.
But if Violet isn’t something you would want to invest in but wants to add colors to look, color blocking is something you can try.
This simply means using tints, tones, and shades of summer colors like green, blue, pink, and other such of your favorite color in the shoes.
These colors will enhance not just your yellow dress but will even add some fun to your overall look.
To make it a bit more stylish, add more than two or three colors to your styling. For example, with a yellow dress, you can pick blue shoes, carry an orange purse, and put on purple earrings.
This isn’t something you will see around most frequently, but make sure each color shade you choose is in harmony with the other.

Yellow in all of its tints, tones, and shade is itself a brighter color, and neon can make your style look a bit loud. Whether neon pinks or neon greens or neon orange shoes you have, we do not really recommend styling a yellow dress with neons. At least not now when it’s not in trend.
- Loud Prints
Yes, we did talk about animal prints, but when it comes to choosing shoes for a yellow dress, we aren’t a big fan of plaids, polka dots, or any such prints. It will simply take away attention from the dress towards your shoes, and we know you want all eyes on your dress.
Final Notes

Each tint, tone, and shade of yellow has a mood, as we already discussed above, and so do the colors of shoes you pair with your dress.
Yellow is a pretty color that goes almost with all of the colors, except for neons and few prints. You don’t want to mess the visual weight, we hope.
But animal prints and nudes can be a safe choice if you know how to find a balance. So good luck and make your next OOTD or OOTN fun with your favorite yellow dress and perfect shoes to match them with.
