What kind of shoes with this red dress?

Question

I bought this dress from target: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_4/601-4252511-1340911?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000FGBZ6C

It is strapless, plain, deep red, falls about mid-calf, A-line skirt, boned bodice. What style and color of shoes does anyone suggest? I am just now beginning to learn all the "girl" things at 24 years old....so these things I just don't know! :) :) HELP???

Answer 1

Hey there!!
That looks like a sensational dress!!
Contrary to what everyone's advising - I'm thinking dark red shoes really would look cool with the outfit! (Just make sure they dont look like Dorothy's Ruby Red Shoes!!!)
Or maybe a really funky looking shoe to set off the classic cut of the dress!!
Or you can try jeweltoned shoes with it!
If you do wear black shoes- try to wear something which has a surprise element to them... strappy sandals and pointy shoes not withstanding!!
Of course they have to be heels - but make sure that that is at a height and style that's comfortable for you... it wouldnt do to fall down in a heap when you're trying to make an impression!! (Wedges are a great idea if u are new to heels by the way!!)
However - if you arent averse to flats - would suggest some ballet style shoes - that would look really hot!! (http://www.3e6.com/lady-shoes/2006-shoes-1/shoes-1.jpg)

Anyways - i LOVE shoes and i loved checking out shoes for your answer so i wanna wish u an extra special fun time!! (it sounds like a heavy date - nudge nudge - ALL THE BEST!!)

Answer 2

I would go with a pair of black stilettos either 3" to about 4 1/2" pump with or with out a ankle strap for added appeal if no ankle strap add a nice gold anklet to complete the look.

Answer 3

You want a "dressy" shoe - definitely NOT one with a wood sole. If you are comfortable in heels, check out these sights - since the dress is very simple, a shoe with a little embellishment (rhinestones, velvet bow, satin w/trim) would be perfect in either black, dark red or a metallic (to match your jewellry). The Nordstrom website is a great place to get ideas....

Answer 4

depends on the occasion and your accessories.. if you are going to be indoors and it is a fancy affair -- go for strappy red high heels. Red Lips is a brand I have that would actually go perfect with that dress. Strappy black is nice, but a bit overdone. You could pull it off with metalics, which are hot these days, like gold or silver/dark grau.

the key is to match your accessories -- your shawl, or jacket/sweater (only wear a cropped one that ends at your rib cage) and your purse. Say you did black shoes -- you should get a black wrap/jacket/sweater, purse and necklace/earrings. If did red shoes, then you'd have more freedom with your accessories -- like diamond/crystals or all sliver...or all black for that matter. :)

If it is not such a fancy affair -- tall, high heeled boots would be HOT. If you go for tan color (esp. with a wedge heal), a cropped jean jacket would be nice. But black spiked boots...hottt. Don't forget about matching your accessories.

Have fun with it...ALL of this HAS to be comfortable on you. How you feel really does affect the energy and messages you will send to others.

Answer 5

Somehting black and sexy, your dress seems to be really nice , but dont even think about red shoes, just wear some black shoes with stripes, if u dont have any i am sure any of your freidns would, red is a great coclour and black is the perfect convination.

Answer 6

Your footwear in case you will locate some, must be on the fringe of the colour of your gown (LOVE THE gown via ways) & i might use a Bronze eye shadow layered, initiate with a lite brown closest to the lid, darker, next & Bronze, with a average brush of purple over all of it. attempt it out first, to make certain in case you like the look, & ask your persons, now and back we don't think of what does look sturdy on ourselves, others can see it from a visitors attitude. i might additionally evaluate a lite black hose, it supplies accessory, & is attractive. What ever you choose for have exciting!

Answer 7

as the other said .....you can do black or a neutral color (not too light though) - or a goldtone strappy or silver strappy or find a unique pair that makes a statement with a bit of the red in the dress within the pattern.... like something with beading or appliques, don't forget the handbag/clutch!..... go bare legged or wear nude hose! (not black!)

Answer 8

if you go with the traditional black--make them a slinky sandal, purse should make.I would like to suggest--very slinky silver sandals and a silver hand bag----then put on a silver chain with a solitaire and threader earrings that have a single stone at the end.Simple but flash.If you're going to dinner--use pearls and pearl color accessories...Good luck..

Answer 9

i would suggest wearing a pair of black pumps either pointy or ones that are slightly round
http://www.bakersshoes.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=18538&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=105&iSubCat=125&iProductID=18538 are good but in the black

you might also do an open toe pump

Answer 10

i'd recommend some black heels, and probably the pointy kind. i love those! i got some from payless that are shiny, and they are my FAV pair of shoes.
