Red dress and sliver shoes?

Question

I have a Christmas party to go to. It will be formal. I have a red formal dress, I need to find out what color shoes to wear. I read that unless you can match the red perfectly, don't wear red shoes. I was thinking I would wear silver. I bought some and here is the link...--->http://www.kohls.com/products/product_page_vanilla2.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=411881585&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=313351749&bmUID=1164941306166

Answer 1

You are going to knock them out girl. Red and silver compliment each other, forget that warm and cool thing. Contrast between colours (especially in accessories) is very striking. Also chandelier earrings and a bare neck is very sexy, the long sexy ballerina neck with up-swept hair.

Answer 2

Those shoes are fine to wear with a red dress.But don't go adding lots of silver jewellery,bag etc.Keep the accessories to an absolute minimum. If you can go to a solarium or use some fake tan to take the contrast of white skin in red dress away,you will look stunning.I'm presuming the dress is minimal lines like the shoes.They are very stylish but not over done. After all, you don't want some moron calling you a Xmas tree! You will look great honey,I just get that feeling from the wording of your Q.and the fact you are taking so much care in selecting what to wear. I'm sure you will have a great time.

Answer 3

I think since your clucth is gold and your jewelry is gold than gold shoes would be great with your dress. I went to the link and looked and the dress and the looked at the shoes and those two together would not be a good combination. Plus your clutch is soooo cute so it's a must have with the dress. Get gold shoes, not deep deep gold just a nice simple pair of gold heel with the gold jewelry to match. If you wear your hair up get longer earring (the ones that dangle) esp if you have a long neck it will look great. But studs will be great also. Make sure you keep the jewelry simple don't over do it. Earrings, a ring, a bracelet, and a nice necklace will do the trick. Remember the dress should speak for itself the jewelry will just give it a little push into the spotlight.

Answer 4

Sounds fabulous! Silver or gold will go well with red. You're right that you shouldn't accessorize in red unless you have an exact match as it will clash horribly. Besides which metallic colour shoes will go with anything (unlike red ones) so you will have more use out of them in the long run.

I think silver is the right choice, it has a sort of frosty-ness to it that is really appropriate for winter parties. But you really should match silver jewellery to the ensemble if you can.

Hope you enjoy the party!

Answer 5

You are 100% right about having to match the reds when you wear red shoes with a red dress.
Your choices look good to me, as long as you can find earrings in silver. I'm not a fan of mixing metallics (gold and silver in this case) as it tend to look too gaudy for a formal event. Silver shoes, silver purse, silver jewelry. Gold shoes, gold purse, gold jewelry. Or go with your basic black (or white) shoes and purse, and wear whatever jewelry you want.

BTW, beautiful gown!

Answer 6

Doesnt look like you can see the shoes anyway... but yeah the first ones are cute just wear a silver necklace.

Answer 7

i think the silver shoes would look great with the red dress! i don't think you'll be able to see the shoes anyway, but if you could get silver jewelry that would be even better.

Answer 8

Yes, wear some silver jewelry then

Answer 9

The dress is great but it has that black detail so I wouldn't recommend too many colors. Wear black shoes and combine your clutch with golden jewelery. All these colors are in but you shouldn't wear them all at once.

Have a nice time!

Answer 10

You can't miss with the silver shoes! You will look fabulous!!!
