8 Must-Have Shoe Colors To Wear With A Blush Dress
Blush is a chic and feminine color but not the easiest to coordinate. To help you out, we’ve put together the best color shoes to wear with a blush dress.
Who doesn’t love pink? Even if super feminine dressing isn’t your taste, there are some occasions when nothing is more fitting than a pink dress. Blush is a light pink with a slight blue undertone, it’s understated, making it perfect for formal occasions, and it is a very popular evening gown color.
Be mindful of your skin’s undertone when it comes to the undertone of your blush dress. Going for the wrong shade can wash you out – particularly in professional pictures. If you have cool undertone skin, go for the same with the dress – and if you have warm undertoned skin, go for a warm undertone blush dress.
Particularly as we head into the peak of summer, blush is going to be the perfect choice for party season. Whether for a casual look, cocktail party, baby shower, wedding, or any other special occasion – a blush pink dress will carry you through all occasions seamlessly.
[Hopefully] you’ve got the dress, but deciding on the shoes can be the difficult part. The different undertones mean careful consideration must be given to the color you’ll coordinate with your dress. Luckily, you have us at your disposal, who have come up with our top 8 shoe colors to wear with a blush dress to ensure you’ll be the belle of the ball.
The Best Shoe Colors To Wear With Blush Dresses
1. Nude Shoes
Nude shoes are a great option to pair with a blush dress because they help create a subtle and timeless look. Be mindful of choosing a nude color close to your skin tone to blend in and give the illusion of longer legs!
This is a great option for a formal occasion like a wedding guest look or baby shower outfit, where you must look understated during the day while being put together. You can play around with the color of your accessories; either go for a pop of color like a bright pink clutch or a neutral color bag to tone down the overall look and suit your personal style.

2. White Shoes
White shoes are a perfect option for styling with a blush dress because they will brighten the look and keep it daytime appropriate. Blush is a light tone, so if your outfit is to be worn during the day, white will coordinate beautifully and be an elegant look.
If it’s a casual occasion, or heels aren’t appropriate, a great choice would be white sneakers or a pair of white boots! Try to keep the rest of your accessories light and minimal; skip chunky jewelry in favor of something dainty, and match with a nude handbag to keep the attention on your stunning dress!

3. Gold Shoes
Gold and metallic shoes are a great option for blush dresses because they will create a luxurious look and are perfect for an evening or formal event.
Blush pink comes in different shades, so matching gold shoes with a warm undertone blush pink dress is the best option here. This also means being mindful of your jewelry and sticking to gold metals so your outfit looks well-thought-out.

4. Silver Shoes
We spoke about gold being the best metallic shoe for a warm undertone dress, and so for a cool undertone blush dress, your best options are silver shoes. Go for a strappy pair so as not to overpower the look, especially if you have on a short dress; a strappy heel will also always give the illusion of a longer leg!
Again this is a super glamorous look, and paired with a matching silver clutch and minimal jewelry, you’ll look chic and sophisticated for any event.

5. Orange Shoes
Okay, pink and orange don’t seem like two colors that would go together at first glance. However, according to the color wheel theory, these are ‘Analogous Colors’. This means they are next to each other on the color wheel [with red in between them].
This pair creates a contrast while still being coordinated because both colors have tones of red in them. This is an experimental fashion moment so may not fit in with everyones personal style; but can be a great option if you like unique combinations!

6. Pink Shoes
Blush and Pink are complementary colors, so a blush dress and pink shoes are the perfect ultra-feminine combination. Think of yourself as an everyday Elle Woods in your full pink outfit, which is still toned down enough given the shade of your dress.
You can go for nearly any pink color here; hot pink, Fuschia, or even pale pink shoes if you don’t want to make that much of a statement. Pink is also a great color to match if you’re unsure of the undertone of the dress, and don’t necessarily want to make a statement with a contrasting color.
It would be best here not to wear a pink bag, as too many different shades of pink could make your outfit look uncoordinated. Considering a funky perspex bag to carry your essentials!

7. Black Shoes
Black shoes are a good choice for pairing with a blush dress and will always look sophisticated.
Black heels are bold again the light blush dress, so it would be a better option to pair your black pumps and blush dress with a black clutch to balance the outfit; if not, your shoes could look out of place.
That being said if you prefer a more androgenous look, a dainty blush dress with a pair of black boots and a black leather jacket could be a super eye-catching look – and means you can stay true to your personal style.

8. Clear Shoes
Clear shoes are a really underrated option for pairing with any gown for formal occasions. They can be viewed as unsophisticated and more of a nightclub shoe than a formal shoe. However, given that they match any color of dress, it has become a new popular design for the biggest shoe designers.
Clear shoes are usually made of PVC, which molds to the shape of the foot, meaning you can dominate the dance floor all night long without blisters!
Wearing clear shoes with your blush gown also leaves you open to experimenting with your handbag and jewelry, so if you’re more of a handbag girl than a shoe one – this is the option for you!
