How To Wear Colorful Shoes : 6 Ways and 15 Outfit Ideas

I've mentioned many times that it really pains me to hear people say certain pairs of shoes are pretty and that they love it but wouldn't know how to wear or style it.  I get  a lot of comments like this regarding my shoe line Sala Chaussures. This is one of the main reasons I come up with so many posts here on outfit ideas mostly to shoe, I mean show that these "pretty" pairs can actually be worn in so many ways and with so many outfits ( check out series 7 Days 1 Shoe series on the blog!)

One shoe style that I think many are hesitant to wear are colorful shoes. I.e. shoes that aren't in black, dark and and neutral colors. Many shy away from these because they think they do not go with a lot of outfits or that they are just difficult to wear in general. Thus I decided to come up with this post to give some ideas on  how to wear colorful shoes. 

I based all the outfits on three colorful shoes : hot pink, orange and turquoise. I organize it into six ways on how to style and wear them and came up with 15 outfit ideas in total. Check it out!


1. Denim and white

One of my absolutely favorite outfits is literally just a white shirt and jeans with a great pair of heels. Colorful heels or shoes will always look great against a denim and white background. It's one of the best ways IMHO to style colorful shoes. Especially on days when you can't be bothered to think too hard about your outfit but still want to look chic. This formula is an instant chic hit.

2. Wear with all kinds of print

The next best way to style colorful shoes is to wear it with prints! Yes prints! In general I think they look great against a background of any prints because it's like you're adding one big pop of color against many different little ones so it almost always matches. But to take it a step further, look at your prints more closely and see what colors are present. You can wear shoes of the same color as one of the colors. That's going to make you outfit look super cohesive. This skirt in the next outfit has little pops of turquoise so I am wearing turquoise shoes

3. Wear with any neutral outfit

I guess this goes without too much explanation - color looks great against any neutral background! I love the look of that colorful pop against nudes, browns and beiges.

4. Color Paletting

There are certain color combinations that I would not have thought about if it weren't for constant perusal of runway looks, Pinterest and a whole lot of fashion content. I recently discovered that  dark green looks amazing with orange shoes so that's what I did here for the first outfit. You also discover more of these wonderful color paletting schemes if you just try whatever you have in your closet and  mix and match. For the second outfit, I was pleasantly surprised to see that mustard looked great with the turquoise shoes!

5. Wear with polka dots or stripes

I've always paired colorful shoes with polka dots and stripes. They almost always look great! There's something about polka dots paired with a bright pop of red or hot pink. Same goes for any stripes!

6. Wear against a monochromatic outfit

And I mean monochromatic anything. A fail safe all white, all black or all neutral outfit will automatically go with any colorful shoes. But other more colorful monochromatic colors will look just as good with colorful shoes! I find that it will act as like another color palette scheme. An all blue monochromatic outfit would look great with a pop of pink like in this first outfit. An all yellow outfit would look great with turquoise shoes. Don't be afraid to experiment and see what looks great with what!

7. Bonus - two extra outfit ideas

I don't know why but I find that any blue shirt with stripes automatically looks great with hot pink. I've worn so many versions already of this first outfit. For the second outfit, I am applying the color palette + prints idea. I think it all ties in together with the orange shoes!

 Don't be afraid to keep experimenting. Look at what's in your closet and just try to mix and match and see if it looks great together. Wearing colorful shoes shouldn't be as intimidating as it sounds! There are so many more possible color combinations and prints that I think would look great with them. It's all about keeping an open mind. And if you can't think of  any combinations that you think will look good, then that's the purpose of this post and all these ideas!
