Can I wear black shoes with a dark brown dress?

I am wearing a dark brown halter dress to a wedding this weekend. I have a pair of black heals and would like to avoid having to buy a new pair of shoes.

Can I wear black shoes with a dark brown dress?
I think its ok- but I wold have to accesorize the dress with something black to bring it together some. A broch, belt, purse, earrings, necklace... just a couple of things to add ot make the shoes tie in better would help- especially for a wedding. If you dont hvae any, I would make a fast trip to Payless and get some inexpensive brown shoes or sale sandles.





The above comment suggesting Gold shoes was really good. that would look really nice with brown also!
Reply:To a Wedding? Black and Brown? Excuse me for saying so, but how absolutely drab! I would go with something a lot lighter in color. A pastel if anything, no earth tones!
Reply:You bet you can. Black goes with just about anything.
Reply:Yeah, their both neutral colors, so it should look fine :)
Reply:NO i AM SORRY YOU CAN'T. YOU SHOULD WEAR A COLOR IN THE BROWN FAMILY OR WEAR A BLACK SHAWL OR LITTLE JACKET AND THEN WEAR BLACK SHOES,YOU HAVE TO TIE THE OUTFIT TOGETHER SOMEHOW OR WEAR A BLACK DRESS OR BORROW OTHER SHOES? SECOND HAND SHOP OR CONSIGNMENT STORE
Reply:it would make u appear very dull dear:)but since u would like to avoid buying a new shoe,then play on ur makeup then-make it bright.
Reply:yes i guess
Reply:Yes, black would be OK, but think how glam you would look in a pair of gold sandals with a halter dress. Go to Payless and grab a cheap pair then dance the heels off at the reception!!
Reply:pair the brown dress with a black cardigan/wrap whatever and some black jewlery, necklace and earrings and it will look fine. For your handbag if you have one that is multiclored(but not loud) with blues and greens that would look good, if not reach for a black handbag.
Reply:AR,


I hope they are black patent shoes,


and 'barely there type' pumps.





That would work just fine -


black patent elegant pumps


are a must in a wardrobe and


may be used universally -


well within reason.....





Belle Rose Sez, above is also


correct in that you should


accentuate the black in the


upper half of the body, and


the simplest way is with a


stylish wrap and certainly


with some nice black/gold


earrings, or shinny black earrings.





Do not wear anything around


your neck with a halter dress.





And, presto, you are ready, oops


how about the bag? It must be black,


hopefully small.





Have a wonderful weeding and remember


you are only as beautiful as you feel!
Reply:It is fashionably correct to wear black shoes with a brown dress; black is considered neutral as far as shoes and purses go.
Reply:NO! I'd rather see you in dark brown flip flops. Please borrow some brown shoes! or go to K-mart and find some cheap shoes. Sorry but black shoes with a brown dress just doesn't cut it. Why? because my daughter work's at an upscale store and is majoring in fashion at the Chicago art school.
Reply:I don't like the way it looks, even though it might be considered OK. Blue goes with brown, but I'm guessing that's not an option either?





Do the black shoes have a patent (shiny) finish or a matte (dull) finish?





How about a different dress with the black heels? Brown isn't a great color to wear to a wedding, unless you don't like the couple for some reason?
Reply:do you have another dress in a different colour? for some reason, i wouldn't want the combination of brown and black, too. and if it's a wedding that you're going to, you might want to wear a pastel-cloured dress instead.
Reply:fr some reason, i cant stand black and brown together. an art director at my pervious job would often wear a black shirt and brown pants and it drove me crazy. i cant put my finger on why these colors dont go together, theyre so simular, but honstly just dont go well at all.
Reply:no, definitely not. maybe only if it was light light brown.
