Exactly Which Color Shoes to Wear With Every Navy Dress Style

Of all the colors in our closet, navy is probably one of the toughest to style. The dark blue shade doesn't easily lend itself to being paired with many other colors of shoes, bags, and accessories we may have laying around. For one, wearing black and navy has long been deemed a style faux pas because of how close the two colors are to one another. While we don't agree that they should never be worn together, we'll be the first to admit that it's a tricky color combo. An even more common style situation to run into than wearing black and navy together is wearing a navy dress and styling it accordingly.

We wanted to take the guessing out of it, so today we're showing you exactly which color shoes to wear with each navy dress, from a casual frock to a floor-length formal gown. There's no denying that Net-a-Porter is one of our favorite online shopping destinations. We even scroll through the site to get general outfit inspiration too, even when we're not necessarily shopping. We happen to be fans of how it always styles its items in a way that makes us want the entire look.

With that in mind, we took to the site to inspire how we'll be styling our navy dresses from now on. Ahead, see the dress-and-shoe combinations that just always work.

Now find out which shoe trends are officially over.
