I have this absolutely stunning deep purple cocktail dress but it is very simple so I want some bold shoes to go with it, plus, I love to highlight my legs. The problem is, I can not decide what color shoes (I’m going for a simple pump so I can wear them again)- my first thoughts were red or a leopard print, maybe a yellow, but I don’t want to go too cartoonish. I don’t want white. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Here is a link to the dress. The image is brown, but the dress I have is dark puple, almost eggplantish.

Silver.
I think you should have pink shoes with dress.
metallic gold or silver.
I think leopard print would be really cool and it would stand out but it’s not bright colored so it would be perfect.
with a cocktail dress i’d def suggest a pair of killer heels in gold with a small gold clutch bag. maybe shoes with soles in a contrasting colour to the uppers? heels will highlight ur legs more than pumps, making legs look longer, they straighten ur posture and make u feel damned sexy into the bargain!
Gold or silver. What do you want pumps for? Go glamour n sex with a cocktail dress. HEELS ducky, HEELS!
I would suggest silver or nude,you can find alot of the nude and add different trinkets and things to them.
I know it seems dull but black is the best choice. It makes your legs look longer and slimmer. Also your right yellow and animal prints are a little 1980s. You could also try a silver or grey pump.
Ballet shoes with really, really long laces. Or anything like ballet shoes that you can put really long purple
ribbon ‘laces’ on. I can just see you with light purple silk shoes on and ribbon laces winding around you legs tied in a knot just around your knee. Send us pics!
id agree with red it would be classy
I agree with the above; metallics are the way to go. A full shoe may be a bit much in metallics- maybe something that shows a bit more foot, like open-toe shoes or strappy heels? You’ll still get a lot of wear out of them; my lovely strappy silver heels go with a lot of stuff in my closet. I bought them for a black dress, but they also look great with jeans.
I think either Silve, Black, or Gold.
You should really put a picture of the dress on here though.
silver is the best choice!! and use heels
I quess I’m womdering why not black,but if that’s too ordinary
I’m thinking silver goes with most color schemes. I might pick a lite pink,but it doesn’t go too well with other colors.
pinky fawn colour, you can wear that with almost anything and will make your legs look longer – the darker the shoe the more it draws attention to length of leg, and feet ending like a blob!
Sista in my opinion wear some thing that complements your accesories if u wear black earrings,wear black shoes if u wear a red neclace,red shoes-etc
For a bold statement, yellow is not to bad a choice, but neither is white. I would go with white. White and purple is a very royal color combination. Put on white pumps, pull out a white evening bag and jewelry with white gems (diamonds, cubic zirconia). You will be the star of the evening. And no matter what you where, if you where it with confidence, you’ll look amazing.
I would use bold jewelry to accent the dress. Gold or Gold toned. Chunky type necklace and bracelet. And a more simple color shoe. Like black with gold accents. I know you want to high light your legs, but you don’t want to look to brash.
I agree with the lepoard print answer, metallic gold is also an option for a very This Season look.
the only thing to wear with this dress is high strappy shoes. metallic colours would be best, even a metallic purple for a different twist.
Nice! likin ur style very sassy!
Heels would b great but if you want trendy & comfy go 4 the leopard print wi matchin headband scarf.
black n white prints r hot now so u could get a pair of kitten heels or pumps from Dorothy Perkins or New Look if my memory serves. They r doin a lot of animal prints in black n white like zebra or white leopard as well as the ordinary. New look had flat lacey ballet pumps in fawn covered with black lace as well as just black.
I think the silver shoes have been done 2 death but thats just me! There r loads of sparkly flats all colours but avoid red sparkly unless u want 2 look like Dorothy fae wizard of oz? Strappy sandals r just not practical this cold weather but look georgeous!!
silver
i think u shud wear silver 1′s but the leopard print sound cool too! i wouldn’t wear red or yellow
Depending on jewellery, I would use gold or silver accessories and shoes, and both colours would work with other outfits.
I would avoid red or leopard print, unless you want a fun look, as it would cheapen the whole outfit.
Black tights or stockings and classic black pumps would emphasis the length of you legs, so my personal preference would be for black.
Enjoy the event whatever you wear
Dark silvery grey , gun metal colour strappy sandals will look dazzling!
With matching clutch bag.
Have a look on the Dune website, they have some stunning shoes. something with a bit of sparkle or a hip design will make them stand out.
Lovely dress!! I would go for at least a kitten heel – a dress like that looks better with a heel, even a 2″, which is not very high. Even a slight heel does something to the way you walk and will make the dress ‘swing’ which is always attractive. Red would be good but then match bag and jewellery to the dress – red shoes become a focal point – I got a lovely patent pair from New Look @ £10 a couple of weeks ago – they’re high but comfy – a blessing!! Other alternatives are black because you can wear forever or nudey-pink which will be an extension of your legs. I tend to match bag to outfit rather than just shoes – looks elegant and doesn’t take away from outfit. Don’t know how you feel about green but that looks good with purple, particularly the lovely emerald green thats popular now (& treat like red shoes). Agree that the silver/gold has been done to death, but if you must, go for a darker, pewter grey. As to leopard print, be careful and the same with yellow. If going for yellow, then use it like the red – on its own. Whatever you decide, I think you’ll look beautiful!! Have fun!!
silvery would be good
Brown or a light blue or a deep pink
It just has to be gold metalic killer heels. Strappy sandels for preferance. As someone in SiC once said “If you can’t walk in heels get cabs!”
Go with the leopard prints. Not only are they really fashionable this season they go well with purple. Trust me, you’ll look fab.
I’d say muted metallic pumps like gold or silver or bronze, but i’d say that ur bag must always match your shoes so whichever colour bag is easiest to get.
