All-in-black with red shoes
One of the safest options when wearing red shoes is to combine them with black, as they are the perfect touch to an all-in-black look. This first option is one of the most elegant, whether for your daily outfits or special occasions that require something more formal.
Whether you wear black trousers, dresses, skirts with or without tights, leggings... Any combination of solid black garments will be ideal for teaming with a pair of red shoes. Accessorize your red shoes and black outfit with a bag, jacket or similar that breaks with the binary tone of your outfit or you may end up looking too plain. Suggested colors include white, grey or animal prints.
Red shoes with jeans
Another solution that never fails is slipping into a pair of jeans along with red shoes. From simple or casual sandals and flats to killer heels they'll look great with all kinds of denim trousers: long, shorts, rolled up, narrow, wide, worn... Anything goes!
White shirts are great for making the shoes the only protagonist; but if you wish, you can also include another red touch in your look, using accessories of the same color like bags and hair accessories. However, you can also choose other types of shirt or t-shirt to combine with your red shoes and jeans. For example, horizontal line prints are a great option for a Parisian chic look. Obviously, black, brown, grey and nude are also a great choice for your top.
White and red
As we noted, the color white is also a brilliant choice to wear with red shoes. On this occasion, we can go for an all-white look or choose just one piece of clothing in this color such as your trousers or skirt. If this is your case, you can combine with a red top in the same tone as your shoes, but never if you're going for red bottoms. Printed tops, especially floral prints are also a great idea for the warmer months.
Also, if you're skin is tanned, the golden tone of your skin will bring out the color even more, so this outfit will be ideal for summer days.
Red and nude
Picking a neutral color like nude is another elegant option if you don't know what to wear with red shoes. With this combination the star will undoubtedly be your feet as they'll be the centre of attention.
The fact is that when wearing a nude dress, it is advisable to wear intense colors to contrast with the simplicity of the garment. Note that you can also opt for slightly more intense shades like beige or the rosewood range. Add some brown in your accessories or combine with other red features in the same tone as your red shoes.
Polka dots with red shoes
And why not be brave and try out prints if you're wondering what to wear with red shoes? Of course! Not only solid colors go with red shoes; you can take it one step further. For example, any polka dot garment , will be perfect in combinations as diverse as white on navy blue, black on white, or the reverse... Which do you prefer?
Stripes and red shoes
Not only spots, but stripes are also great to wear with red shoes, especially white and navy blue. That way you get a navy or sailor outfit that everyone will notice.
This option is also ideal for the summer season, from walks on the beach to evening parties where they'll kick up a storm.
Animal print with red shoes
And for the most daring: animal print with red shoes, an option that might seem risky but very eye-catching. Whether you want to wear leopard or cheetah, zebra or snake skin prints, you'll put your red shoes on and hit the mark wherever you go.
You can also include other red accessories like bags and belts or choose to also combine it with black garments that give a more sober touch.
Military green and red shoes
Who said green and red don't go together? Although it is true that you can hardly ever go for a daring bright green to wear with red shoes (unless you have the courage of Jessica Chastain on the red carpet), you can pull off a great look if you have other green tones such as military green, mint green or khaki. This makes for a great autumn outfit and will give you a great sophisticated touch.
Outfits with red shoes for guys
Yes we've given you a wide range of possibilities on how to wear red shoes if you're a woman. But what outfits should guys wear with red shoes? Well although this will highly depend on the type of shoes you wearing the color combination rules stated above can also apply for men.
If you are wearing red sneakers,the best option is a pair of jeans, no matter if they are blueish, brown or black, this is always a perfect combination. Choose a nice shirt in a white, brown, black or beige tone to look perfect. Red shirts or t-shirts are also acceptable if they are the same shade of red as the sneakers.
If you're looking for slightly more formal red shoes, a nice suit in a grey, brown or black tone will make you stand out from the crowd and become the perfect trend setter. Make sure the shirt you wear is white or a lighter color so you don't look like a Christmas tree.
