8 Best Shoe Colors To Wear With A Rose Gold Dress for an Elegant Look
Special occasions call for a special outfit. Here are the best shoe colors to wear with a rose gold dress.
Metallic colors are very popular choices for parties and special event styling. They are glamorous, feminine, and one of the best colors for any formal occasion. For your next special event, skip the usual gold and silver, and go for something a little different with a rose gold dress.
Rose gold surged in popularity in recent years in the jewelry industry, which trickled into the garment industry too. The soft gold hues contrast the cool, harsh tones of silver, and the overpowering yellow tones of yellow gold, which also don’t suit every skin tone.
It is ultra-feminine and alluring, and it works really well with different skin tones. Those with a fair complexion should be careful of their undertones. Those with a pink undertone should be careful not to choose a rose gold dress that is too pink, as this will likely bring out the pink undertones, throwing off your natural skin tone.
One of the factors why rose gold dresses aren’t as popular as other metallic options is the confusion in styling them. The differing undertones can make it unpredictable to style with different colors for shoes and other accessories.
To solve your styling woes and help you find the right pair of shoes, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on the 8 best shoe colors to pair with a rose gold dress, with styling suggestions for any occasion.
The Best Color Shoes To Wear With Rose Gold Dress
1. Nude Shoes
If the dress is special enough to be a statement piece, then nude heels are a great combination with a rose gold dress, particularly for a formal event such as a wedding.
Beige shoes, other others in neutral colors, can blend in with your skin tone, thus elongating the leg and improving your overall silhouette – making this a perfect choice for a mini dress.
For a cohesive look, be mindful of your other accessories. If you have a formal event, keep your accessories understated in the same neutral shade not to overpower an already eye-catching outfit.

2. Gold Shoes
A great way to style a statement rose gold dress is with even more gold. If the shade of your dress is more
orangey, go for yellow gold shoes, otherwise for a pinky rose gold dress, go for rose color gold shoes.
Plus, gold heels are perfect for all seasons and a great staple to have in your wardrobe.
This color is a great one to pair with your rose-gold dress if you love yellow-gold jewelry, as otherwise, wearing rose gold doesn’t lend itself to being coordinated with silver or gold jewelry. To tie in the rest of the metallic look, you can opt for a gold purse in a matching hue to the shoes.

3. White Shoes
If you want to make your rose gold dress pop even more, then light color heels are a great option to go with, like white! While white shoes will bring a pop of color to your overall look, there’s no need to worry about them stealing the spotlight away from your outfit.
If you want a softer tone shoe, go for off-white or cream heels. As for the rest of your outfit, you can pair this with a matching clutch, being mindful of the tone; and simple jewelry like pearls to match the creamy combination.

4. Blush Pink Shoes
Blush pink shoes are perfect for wearing with a rose gold dress as they are complementary colors. This is perfect if you want to keep your look soft and feminine.
Rose gold is a very warm color, so it can be difficult finding the right shoe that will balance out its tone – but a lighter shade of blush pink heels do just this. If you like to be adventurous with your accessory options, this is the perfect pair of shoes to match your rose gold dress.
With regards to your accessories, you can either match this to your shoes or your dress, though it is a smart idea to keep jewelry to a minimum as gold or silver-toned pieces could clash here.

5. Animal Print Shoes
Animal print shoes are an unlikely but perfect match to wear a rose gold dress. The warm tones of leopard or snakeskin shoes coordinate well with the shaded tones of rose gold.
For all the vegans [or just those who are against exotic leather products], there are fantastic cruelty-free options available that rival even the most expensive, luxurious leather pieces.
For an added statement to your animal print shoes, pair this with a clutch in a matching animal print pattern and even some chunky acetate or enamel hoops to match the warm brown tones.

6. Clear Shoes
If you like statement pieces, like heavily embellished or sequin dresses, clear shoes are a great choice for you. These are also a great choice if you have a trip where you need a versatile pair of shoes for many occasions, like a destination wedding.
Clear shoes are what to wear if you want to add a fun twist to your outfit, as these will blend in perfectly and keep the spotlight on your dress.
As for the rest of your outfit, play off the crystal-y clear vibe of the shoes with crystal jewelry and a perspex clutch to add cool tones to the look.

7. Black Shoes
A pair of black heels will never do any wrong, and especially paired with a rose gold dress, it will create a touch of elegance to your sophisticated outfit. A pair of strappy heels in a dark color is perfect for an evening event, as it can be paired with a simple black clutch for a toned-down look.
For those with a deeper skin tone, go for black heels rather than nude heels for that minimalistic look, particularly for the evening.
As for the rest of your outfit, go for a simple pair of diamond [or diamond alternative] earrings to ensure the focus is on your dress for an intentional look.

8. Silver Shoes
Metallic shoes are an obvious choice to pair with a dress with a similar metallic hue. Silver heels are a great option to pair with a rose gold dress, as the cool and warm tones contrast while still having the metal tones in common.
This shoe color is better paired with the genre of rose gold dresses which veer on being more pink and cool toned than orange and warm.
As for the rest of your outfit, if you want the dress to be the statement, go for a matching silver metallic clutch; otherwise, if you want your shoes to be the statement, go for a rose gold clutch.
