10 Ways To Style Yellow Shoes For A Fun Pop Of Color
“And it was all yellow.” Maybe not all, but the shoes in these gorgeous outfits are! Here are 10 fabulous ideas for what to wear with yellow shoes.
Yellow is probably the last color anyone thinks to add to their shoe closet, but these outfits will likely change your mind. Luxury brands like LOEWE and Bottega Veneta have been instrumental in introducing color to the luxury market – before this, popular accessories were mostly in neutral colors.
If you’ve been scrolling Pinterest & TikTok to see what the “fashion girlies” are wearing, you’ll find that most opt for accessories and shoes in bright colors, and what would be better than yellow? Particularly if you usually wear neutral outfits, yellow is a wonderful color that matches the cool tones of black, grey, and white.
If you’re convinced about buying a pair of yellow shoes but have no idea how to wear them – here are 10 fun outfit ideas.
What To Wear With Yellow Shoes
1. Grey Monochrome

An approachable way to style the pop of yellow shoes is with a neutral outfit. Grey works well if you opt for a shade of the color with warm undertones, as they will match the undertones of yellow.
Break up the colors with a white shirt or tee which will ensure the overall look isn’t too overwhelming. Yellow sneakers made a great statement for comfortable outfits that are still trendy.

5. Neutrals

Neutrals are often misunderstood. The general rule is that you shouldn’t be wearing more than two colors at the same time, but this outfit proves this isn’t true.
The reason it works is that the undertones of all the elements are warm, and so they still have a common thread to tie them together. This is a perfect cozy fall-winter outfit and lets the yellow sneakers really stand out.
