Thanks a ton Marley It's just dawned upon me that tan is, infact, a wasted color. I do have plenty of options in nude to me shoes. I also own plenty of black, and in fact I do own the black shoes the model is wearing here. </p> <p>I can see that most of you suggest a contrast and vote for blue/cobalt/Aqua shoes. I do like the idea of putting the focus completely on the dress, but I think I will experiment with red, deep pink and black shoes. </p> <p>Since it's clear to me now that tan is not such a great color, I will instead look for silver and gold sandals that are current and look good with dresses and pants. The ones I have now are all super high heels to be paired with ethnic Indian outfits of sarees and anarkalis which I only reserve for weddings etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509829 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 06:41:20 +0000 Marley 1509829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you thinking about the tan sandals that you posted about in your other thread? &nbsp;If so, I'd say no to tan for myself. &nbsp;Tan shoes seems like a "wasted" color to me - it doesn't contrast (or add sharpness) with the colors in your dress - and its not as functional as a nude (which extends the leg line and puts the focus entirely on the dress!) &nbsp;So, how about a cobalt blue - or, a denim blue? &nbsp;Or, a pink that is intense as the red? &nbsp;Pink and red are mixed a lot these days. &nbsp;I think that black shoes the model is wearing looks really great with the dress. &nbsp;You could also try an aqua/turquoise color. &nbsp;I'm a metallics fan so I'd love to see you wear metallic accessories with the dress! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509822 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 06:18:12 +0000 Maneera 1509822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think of these sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509776 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 02:13:46 +0000 Maneera 1509776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you all. </p> <p>Smittie, I do have pretty red peep toe shoes. I also have pointy toe shoes, so I'll try both on. </p> <p>Aida and Beth Ann, I almost always wear low contrast shoes. I have short legs and am very careful about lengthening them, so a nude to me shoe, cognac, tan and metallic shoe sound best. </p> <p>Thanks for the help ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509763 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 01:47:45 +0000 Beth Ann 1509763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an lovely dress!&nbsp; Cognac would work, as a casual choice.&nbsp; I love the idea of cobalt or mint for contrast, too.&nbsp; I do enjoy a metallic, but like a burnished, not shiny tone.&nbsp; Pewter and bronze can be interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509714 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 23:16:56 +0000 Aida 1509714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mint, turquoise, or denim blue could be fun contrasting color options; blush, orange, or yellow for less contrasting color. I'd personally do white or metallic, but I see neither of those are quite your style. The tan you've mentioned would work nicely for a lower contrast more classic look. I actually quite like the black as they've shown in the stock photos for some serious contrast, but if you like to highlight your hair that would take away from it a bit (tan or lighter shades would do just the opposite). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509713 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 23:12:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1509713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Light blue sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509670 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:41:48 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1509670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue would be nice, too. Navy, or something a bit lighter. Red and blue are a classic for a reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509645 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 18:41:47 +0000 Anonymous 1509645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A really pretty dress and I bet the colour looks nice on you.<br />I think tan would look good, but base your choice on what looks good against your skin tone.</p> <p>But red shoes would look great.<br />Red or tan bag too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509635 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 18:08:40 +0000 Maneera 1509635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No metallic bag! Honestly....I'm not a fan of metallics. I have a gorgeous gold and black high heel sandal that I bought because it's a work of art. Never worn that either :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509634 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 18:07:14 +0000 Maneera 1509634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc. You're a girl after my own heart! I usually wear nude shoes with MOST things, especially skirts n dresses. However, I have done n overdone it. Not that I'm complaining - it works for me. And I rarely try to fix what's not broken. </p> <p>Diana I usually don't wear metallic shoes but I've been meaning to. Not like I don't have them - I do tend to wear both silver and gold with minimal shine whenever I wear ethnic Indian outfits. But I've never ever worn them with my normal clothes. Maybe I'll try it and see. </p> <p>Thanks for the suggestions girls. Hmm....neither of you said 'tan'. Would tan be so bad? And why in the hell am I going on picturing this dress with tan!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509632 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 18:03:17 +0000 abc 1509632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, i like diana's suggestion of metallic, too. &nbsp;I find metallics to be just as versatile as a nude to me color. &nbsp;Guess it depends on your skin tone to find the perfect nude to you shade. &nbsp;Anyway, metallic is a great suggestion! &nbsp;Do you have a metallic bag and shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509630 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 17:59:26 +0000 Diana 1509630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go for metallic, personally.&nbsp; Either gold or silver, and not too shiny.</p> <p>I'm kind of over the whole nude shoe thing personally.&nbsp; Maybe because I've never in my life found one that is actually nude on me.&nbsp; A pale gold does more or less the same thing and is more interesting.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509627 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 17:56:03 +0000 abc 1509627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maneera! &nbsp;I've been meaning to email you but of course you know how the day gets away from me...</p> <p>Anyway, I would go with nude to you color shoes and whatever handbag you like best. &nbsp;Have a great day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509623 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 17:47:06 +0000 Maneera 1509623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Damn i forgot to add photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-to-choose-shoes-with-this-dress#post-1509622 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 17:46:29 +0000 Maneera 1509622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister gifted me a new dress. Yay to that! It's a floral red and white printed jacquard dress in a fit and flare style. I love it....it fits well and looks very summery. </p> <p>But I'm kind of torn between shoe choices. I would like the dress to be the star of the outfit, so I'm confused about shoe choices. </p> <p>A few things you should know:</p> <p>- I usually like to match my bag to my shoes if they are in a different color from my outfit. So if you choose black or tan for this dress, I'll keep both shoes and bag the same color. </p> <p>- I do not love wearing white shoes. I wear them whenever needed, and often with white pants or shorts because I like to create a longer leg line and often match shoes to bottoms. I don't like the way white looks against my skin---it's too stark for my liking </p> <p>So, what color do you think I should pick? While the model here is wearing black (it bookends with her hair) I'm not sure I love the look ( and that's a first! Coz I love black accessories!)</p> <p>Should I pick red? I can wear red shoes n then go with a white bag (as both colors are from the outfit). </p> <p>Or nude for me shoes/sandals? I have a feeling that tan shoes will look great but I'm not 100% sure. What do you guys suggest? </p>
