I’ll be honest, green is not one of my favorite colors. I’m more of a yellow, orange and pink type of girl. However, I do appreciate the color on others, just not myself.

As Spring slowly starts rearing its head, we start to see green appear not only on the fashion scene but in nature as well. I find that darker shades of green look better against my skin tone than lighter ones.

Although I may not own many items of clothing in green, I do appreciate how it looks on others. It’s important to know which shade of green looks best against your skin.

This can be accomplished by heading to a mall and trying out different outfits in different shades of green. As a general rule, rich shades of green look better on darker skin tones.

I would also be sharing both casual as well as more formal looks to give you an idea of how to create both casual and formal outfits with a green dress and different colors of shoes.

It’s no secret that black shoes can be paired with any color of dress. Seeing as everyone reading this most likely owns a pair of black shoes, I bet it comes as good news to know that they make a great choice to pair with your favorite green dress.

If your green dresses are in lighter shades, I recommend opting for shoes in neutral colors. Forest green, olive and emerald green dresses for example would pair more nicely with black shoes than pale green dresses.

Black open toe heels are my favorite type of shoe because they don’t overwhelm your green clothes.

3) White shoes

White is a neutral color that also pairs nicely with all colors of dresses. During the warmer months, I prefer to opt for white shoes over black ones if I’m aiming for a pair of shoes in a neutral color. The white color adds some brightness to the overall look.

During the colder months, pair your green sweater dress with a pair of white knee-high boots to elevate your winter outfit. You could add a pair of tights under for some extra warmth. This would make for a great date night look during the Fall or winter months. For a more casual outfit, pair your green summer dresses with a pair of white sneakers.

You can find tall white boots HERE and the wide calf version HERE.

4) Brown shoes

Brown shoes are a great choice if you want your dress to be the centre of attention. Brown works well with bright and dark colors. I find that the darker the shade of green however, the darker the shade of your brown shoes should be.

Green and brown have been complementary colors from time, so you’re in safe hands with this combination.

For a casual outing, opt for a pair of low brown sandals or flats. Brown heels are a good choice for fancy events. You could pair your sweaters and sweater dresses with brown boots during the cold months as well.

This is a great way to add a little color to your winter wardrobe. Accessorize with a belt featuring leopard print to make your outfit more interesting.

5) Gold shoes

Gold makes for such a great shoe color. It adds some brightness and elegance to your green outfit. It makes sense why it’s such a popular choice f shoe color on red carpets.

I find that gold shoes work best with vibrant green dresses. They truly complement each other nicely and create a nice subtle bold look.

The green color is bold in itself and the slight shimmer that gold shoes add to a green dress is the perfect combination. Green and cold is a pairing we see often during the holiday season and you can carry it throughout the rest of the year.

6) Green shoes

Pairing your color of dress with the same of color shoes can make for a stylish monochromatic look. I always recommend choosing shoes in a similar shade as your dress.

To break up your outfit and make it feel less overwhelming, add accessories in a different color. Bold and silver work best as you don’t want to wear too many bright colors at the same time.

7) Silver shoes

Silver shoes work similarly to gold shoes. They add some brightness and shimmer to your outfit without taking away from it. I love to reserve my gold and silver heels for special occasions when I want to stand out in my dresses.

Silver shoes work with all shades of green, making them an ideal choice when you’re unsure of which colors of shoes to go for.

8) Nude shoes

I have always said that nude is a very subjective color. It depends on the color and shade of your skin. Finding the right shade of nude for your skin tone is the first step to creating a fresh look with your green dress.

Nude flats can be paired with your casual green dresses while a pair of nude heels are the perfect choice for your green cocktail dresses.
