- July 31, 2025
Black dresses are a staple in every women’s wardrobe…don’t you agree? They are easy to style. If you are in the workplace sometimes getting ready in the early morning takes a lot of time and if you are lacking that (aren’t we all?) throwing on a black dress, a pair of shoes and earrings makes getting ready a cinch!
Black dresses are elegant and versatile. They are also slimming! You can take one black dress and pair it with different shoes to give the dress a different vibe. We are sharing today a roundup of different shoe colors that go well with black dresses!
What Color Shoes To Wear With A Black Dress
Black Dresses With Black Shoes
This is a natural right? We believe that many other shoe colors look good if not better with a black dress but the look is truly classic! Black strappy sandals and beautiful black heels always look chic. We feel black shoes create an elegant look whether the dress is dressed up or down! Pairing your black dress with black shoes is always a great option!

Black Dresses With Neutral Shoes
Neutral shoes are another great option for black dresses! Neutral shoes allow the black dress to be the star! Your legs appear longer too and you have a more streamlined silhouette.
Black Dresses With Red Shoes
Red shoes add a dramatic look to your black dress whether it is for a dressier event or casual. Red shoes add a pop of color and style a black dress. We are a big fan of this combination as it is fashion forward and it is easy to pair accessories with the dress for a complete look!
Black Dresses With Leopard Print Shoes
Absolutely love this combination. Leopard print anything is still very much having a moment and this is a perfect look to pair with your black dress especially for the fall and moving into the winter months.
Black Dresses With Metallic Shoes
Wearing metallic shoes is another stylish option when styling your black dress. Metallic shoes whether they are silver or gold are considered a neutral so it is a perfect pairing! When you want to add a touch of wow to your outfit this is the way to go. Choose a brushed gold or silver shoe if you want to tone it down a bit.
Black Dresses With White Shoes
This is a classic pairing of colors….we really like a casual black dress with a pair of white sneakers! We also have worn white sandals with a casual black dress! In the summer this is a great look!
When picking a shoe to wear with black dresses you may want to consider your skin tone and your personality. Some of our friends are not comfortable in bold colors like red or even metallic shoes. You have to wear what makes you feel happy and confident no matter what the trends are!! You also have to consider how high of a heel you can wear and not have difficulty walking. There are many shoes available in different heights and styles so there is sure to be a shoe for you!
