Whichever jackets and accessories you choose, one of the best colors to match coral is coral itself. You can opt for a total look in that color, giving hints of coral in your makeup or accessories.

Beige is a neutral color that does not eclipse the star of your outfit, your coral dress. You can even use lace accessories for a coral dress, if you have something that goes over the chest.

If you want to give your coral dress a more casual style, you can also mix it with denim. A denim jacket will make your dress look much more modern and give you a younger look. Denim jackets are great for a casual coral dress, but should be avoided if you are doing something more formal.

Sometimes, such as during summer festivities, all you need to wear with a coral dress is a good pair of shoes. If you wonder what shoes you can wear with a coral dress you should know that nude, gold, black or - for those with a flare - teal, are some of the best answers.

When thinking of what color shoes go with a coral dress, we also need to consider the style. If we have a casual coral dress, you can choose to go for trainers if they are in good condition. Unfortunately, coral is not the most common color for trainers, so bright white trainers will substitute well. For something more formal, matching coral pumps can work, but so too can some tasteful gold shoes.

The rest of the accessories depend on the style of coral dress. For example, if you have a one shoulder dress, you should choose accessories which accentuate the right side. This is the same if you choose a different color for your dress. Check out our article on how to accessorize a blue dress to learn more.
