As you probably know by now, I’ve been obsessed with metallic style lately. Though I’ve been dabbling with brighter metallic colors, silver metallic heels and sandals are essential for our cool tone or bright looks. We often don’t need silver shoes as much as our gold sandals, but I reach for my silver sandals at least every other week.
What Color Goes With Silver Shoes
When discussing what to wear with silver heels we must start with color. This post features mostly bright and light silver metallic heels and sandals. I find these to be the most versatile and flattering shoes rather than a darker pewter silver. As I mentioned above, a bright or lighter silver metallic sandal pairs beautifully with bright colors and cool tones. To make it easy for you, here is the list of colors that pair well with your silver heels and sandals:
- Lavender
- Bright optic white
- Neons
- Any shade of pink
- Pastels
- Yellow
- Saturated black (not washed out black)
- All super bright colors
- Most purples
- Indigo blue
- Most greens (emerald and Kelly green in particular)
- Some muted-tone outfits
This last one is tricky, but I promise you, a silver metallic sandal can be so fun and fresh with the right muted outfit. I especially love pairing a silver metallic sandal with a casual olive green or muted mauve look. Try it and you will see!
What To Wear With Silver Shoes
Now that you know what color goes with silver shoes, I need you to know this: you must wear silver jewelry with silver shoes. I so rarely have hard rules, but this is one of them. (Go to my post on fabulous silver stacking rings if you don’t have any to pair with your silver shoes.)
Phew, I am glad I got that off my chest. Now we can discuss what to wear with silver shoes. If you are sporting dressier silver metallic sandals, you can wear…
- A formal dress in any of the above colors
- Any silky garment in any of the above colors
- Medium to dark blue jeans
- Jeans in any of the above colors
- Dressy joggers in any of the above colors
- A dressy jumpsuit in any of the above colors
If you are wearing a casual, aka flat, silver metallic sandal, you can wear…
- Cut-off shorts, like I am wearing here.
- A high-quality t-shirt dress in any of the above colors
- Medium to dark blue jeans
- Casual jumpsuits in any of the above colors
- Short to long casual dresses in any of the above colors
