There are so many different shades of green that the question “What color shoes works best with a green dress” would probably need to be more specific and identify what shade of green is meant.

Nude shoes generally tend to work well with a wide variety of shades of green dresses.

These Jimmy Choo nude sandals ($775) would be a great choice for a dress in a shade similar to the ROLAND MOURET Sesia Sheath Dress ($2213). A nude bag, such as the bisque leather Nolita tote from Salvatore Ferragamo ($900.94), and some gold accessories add a nice finishing touch.

If your green dress is a yellow green color like this MSGM Crocheted Shift Dress ($571.31), silver metallic shoes would go nicely with your dress. Try a nice pair of sandals like the Saint Laurent ‘Classic Tribute 105’ sandals ($1,153.71) in silver tone leather. If you need a jacket for your dress try a nice white blazer like the Victoria Beckham pristine wool blazer ($2,795.00) shown above. A silver metallic bag such as the White and silver-tone leather ‘3Jours’ tote from Fendi ($2244.85), and silver accessories complete the look.

White is another good choice for what color shoes works best with a green dress. White shoes are tricky. You can’t just throw them on and run, even when you’re wearing them with compatible color clothing. You have to properly accessorize otherwise your white shoes can be totally distracting and not necessarily in a good way.

The green graphic print Mary Katrantzou Bomfared Dress ($770.19) is shown with a pair of white strappy stiletto sandals from Gianvito Rossi ($960.32). To balance things out a little bit I’ve added an Optic white leather ‘Jet Set’ trapeze tote from Michael Michael Kors ($477.38). Between the graphic print on the dress and the strappy style of the shoes there’s already enough going on with the outfit so I’ve kept the accessories to a minimum with a sterling silver SMITHY CUFFS hammered bangle bracelet and a silver-toned ‘Cage’ choker from Balenciaga ($695).

All you can have is different.
