What styles & colors of shoes would look best with a navy blue cocktail dress?
As far as styles go, you can wear sandals, sling backs, peeptoes, or pumps with a cocktail dress. Choose neutral shoe colors like silver, cream/beige, black suede or black patent leather. All will work with a navy blue cocktail dress. Closed toe slingback style shoes or closed toe pumps would look very chic and can be worn with stockings for a more polished look. Always try different style shoes and accessories on with your dress. See which looks best and choose what you feel most confident wearing.
