What Color Shoes Do You Wear With a Navy Dress

I grew up in a world of navy blue "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts." One day, I came down in a navy blue shirt and black pants, and my mom insisted I change because "those colors don't go together." Since then, figuring out what colors go with navy has seemed a little intimidating.

Navy blue is a closet staple, but it's hard to know which color is the perfect match for it. The good news is that personal style trumps those unofficial rules! Playing with color, even if it means breaking some rules, is what makes an outfit personal and eye-catching.

I've rounded up 35 shoe options in different colors that will look great with navy!

With wedding season coming up, you might be eyeing some navy dresses. They look great on every skin tone, can be styled for more formal events or for a casual look, and are appropriate for all seasons.

Navy is also an excellent choice if you want a dark color but don't want to wear black — it used to be considered a faux pas because black at a wedding was seen as bad luck! (Don't worry; you can definitely wear black to weddings these days!)

Check out what's in this post!

How to Choose Shoes for a Wedding

shoes on the ground

So what are the best color shoes to wear with a navy suit or dress at a wedding? That depends on your style, the style of the dress and the dress code! You'd wear a different shoe to a formal occasion than you would with a casual frock.

Dress Code

The first consideration when you're picking out shoes to wear to a wedding is whether there's a dress code. If the invitation says black tie, you need to go fancier and more classic in your footwear (and your dress, for that matter!). A navy evening gown is great for a black tie occasion, but for your shoes, you'll want to stay away from bright colors, flats and anything that reads more casual.

Location

You also need to consider the location of the wedding. You need much different footwear for an outdoor wedding in a backyard, field or beach than you would in an upscale hotel.

If a wedding is outdoors but you're not sure what the ground will be like, go for a flat, wedge or a chunkier heel so your stilettos won't sink if there is grass or mud! They'll also make it easier to walk on uneven ground.

Comfort

Weddings are long events, and you might be on your feet a lot, from the cocktail hour to standing in line for cake to dancing to the send-off at the end of the night. That means you need to either choose comfortable shoes that won't keep you from having fun, or you need to bring some backup flip-flops or flats in your bag for later in the evening.

Versatility

For me (and probably a lot of you!), it's also important to choose shoes that can be worn more than once. Don't buy an expensive pair of designer heels if they don't go with anything else in your closet. Pick something that suits your style, your budget and your lifestyle.

Best Color Shoes to Go With Navy Dress

What Color Shoes to Wear With Navy Blue Dress

To help you figure out your best bet, I've rounded up shoes in a variety of colors to find the right shoes to wear with your navy dress as a wedding guest.

Whether you are looking for good color combos from your own closet or want to purchase the perfect pair for the special event, you're sure to find some inspiration here for what color shoes you can wear with your navy blue dress.

Nude Shoes

You can't go wrong with a nude shoe when it comes to styling navy blue. Neutral shoes allow the navy piece to make a statement and bring an effortless elegance to your look.

I think this is a great choice if you don't know the wedding color scheme and don't want to stand out too much (like if you're a plus-one at a wedding where you don't really know the bride and groom!).

Nude shoes will also get a lot of future use since they go with everything, so they're a great investment to add to your shoe rack.

1. Seychelles Leeward Mules

Elevate your nude by picking a shoe with fun detail. I love this mule heel because of its ruffled texture! The heel height is dressy without being dangerously high.

2. Marc Fisher Deann Sandal

This nude sandal brings a quirky architecture in the heel and asymmetric strap. It comes in two natural shades to better match your skin tone.

3. Steve Madden Evela Sandal

Gold Shoes

Gold is basically a shiny neutral! Some golden shoes might be a little too flashy for a wedding — use your judgment — but gold can be a perfect choice for navy clothes. Gold shoes can range from very yellow to a champagne color, so choose the shade that you think fits your style best and you'll get the most use out of.

5. Dream Pairs Oppointed Lacey Pump

With your dark blue dress in mind, this timeless gold pump adds the perfect subtle twinkle. The heels are about 4 inches, so it'll lengthen your legs but make sure you're comfortable walking (and dancing) in high heels!

Black Shoes

Repeat after me: "We are allowed to wear navy blue and black together." Now that we have accepted that fact, we can finally appreciate the refined look black brings to navy.

Navy and black together can look incredibly chic and modern, and chances are you already have some black shoes you love.

8. Sam Edelman Kia Ankle Strap Sandal

Silver Shoes

In high school, I wore silver heels with a navy blue dress to prom, and it has been my favorite prom look to date. Silver complements the cool tone of the navy, and the combination oozes elegance.

These two pairs would be perfect shoes for a chic look at a special occasion. Both feel elegant, but with a twist. The slingback heel brings a sexy element, while the appropriately named "Sassy Sandal" adds glitz and fun with the disco ball heel.

11. Luanna Embellished Slingback Sandal

White Shoes

The contrast of white and navy blue will always be a clean classic style. There's a bit of a nautical feel to the combo, but the two add a contrast I love to play on.

14. Naturalizer Bristol Sandal

My first pick is a classic, chunky heel that brings a simplicity and a timelessness to the color pairing. Naturalizer is known for comfort, so you won't need to take these off before the night is over.

Navy Shoes

Monochromatic looks are in, and I don't see them going out of style any time soon. Don't get too caught up in getting the match just right — different shades of dark blue look great together. You can go with a dress and shoes both in deep navy blues or choose a shoe in a more bright blue color.

17. ElegantPark Peep Toe High Heels

Red Shoes

Choosing the right shoe in red can make all the difference, keeping the look from being too 1950s pinup. That's why I went for modern, fun looks when pairing red to navy.

23. Alohas x Anthropologie Strappy Heels

The strappy heel brings a hint of sex appeal to the stability of the navy. The bit of pink gives it a youthful, springtime look but the square toe keeps it modern.

Bright Colors

Navy dresses can feel a little somber and serious, so they're just begging to be brightened up with your shoes! This won't work for a black tie or very formal event, but for other weddings, bright shoes are perfect.

25. Steve Madden Shaye Sandal
