Evening Shoes - How to Choose Evening Shoes

As with any shoes, the color of your evening shoes should be based on the color of the outfit your wearing. But since you might own only one or two pairs of evening shoes, it's especially important that they're versatile enough to work with several of your favorite colors. Here are a few basic color suggestions for evening shoes.

Black Evening Shoes

Black is one of the best choices for evening shoes, partially because we're so fond of our little black dresses, but also because black works well with so many other colors. In fact, except for pastels and some earthtones, black will work with nearly anything -- and even dresses in those problematic shades are fine as long as they have black accents, or are otherwise accessorized with black.

Silver Evening Shoes

My second favorite color for evening shoes is silver. It looks fantastic with whites and pastels, but is also dynamic with black and darker colors.

Gold and Bright Evening Shoes

Most medium to dark shades and earthtones look great with gold evening shoes, and a pair of brightly-colored evening shoes serve as a bold accessory for print, gray or black evening dresses.
