If you’re looking for shoes to wear with your mustard dress, you’re not alone. This is a great color, but it can be tricky to pair with the right shoe. Here are some of our favorite options:
- Black shoes – Black is the classic option for this color. It goes with any other color and can really make the mustard pop.
- Brown shoes – Brown is another classic option, and it will help the bright yellow of your dress look even brighter!
- White shoes – White goes great with just about anything, including this color! It’s a great way to add some contrast and make sure that your outfit isn’t too monochromatic.

If you’re asking yourself what to wear with yellow dresses and outfits, this post on how to style a yellow dress will apply to any type of yellow.
Whether it’s a mustard yellow dress you’re wearing, or maybe a sunshine yellow romper or pale, pastel yellow suit or yellow/lime mini dress, the shoe & handbag choices below will apply to each!
I’ve done my best to feature a multitude of yellow shades & dresses so you can easily scan this post to see if the shoe color I’ve recommended applies to your specific styling situation.
Other accessories apart from shoes will play a big role in the overall look. You can opt to style a yellow dress or mustard dress with neutral accessories such as black or beige, or have a little fun with this sunny color with contrasting colors.
In terms of jewelry, pick a metal base (be it gold, rose gold or silver) and be consistent in you choice of rings, necklace, bracelet etc.
Colors that match with yellow outfits are plentiful, from pastels, colorful brights, even metallics & multi color prints. In the end, it all depends on the style & design of your dress, as well as what type of event you’re attending. And last, but certainly not least, what you feel most comfortable in.
In short, the best color shoes to wear with a yellow dress are:
- Black Shoes
- Metallic Shoes
- Blush/Beige Shoes
- White Shoes
- Brown Shoes
- Black/White Shoes
- Blue Shoes
- Pink Shoes
- Purple Shoes
- Leopard Print Shoes
1. Yellow Dress Black Shoes
When it comes to lighter-colored dresses, black shoes are always a win. A striking contrast to yellow, black shoes will let your sunshine dress pop to the max of its abilities!
For specific shoe styles I love, Stuart Weitzman’s NudistSong strappy sandals (available here at Nordstrom) are fab. Or if you’re looking for a lower price, check out this pretty strappy number, here.
Sam Edelman also makes a great, simple but comfy pointed pump called the Hazel. It comes in many a pretty hue & you can take this classic heeled from ballroom to boardroom, right to the bar!
Purse styling recommendation: You can either match your black shoes with a black purse, or contrast them with a white or beige purse. If your dress has a colored pattern, you can also match your handbag with one of those colors.
The mustard dress is an iconic look that has stood the test of time. But sometimes, we just don’t know what shoes to wear with it.
When you’re trying to figure out what shoes to wear with mustard, you want to keep in mind the key factors: color, shape and texture.
Firstly, the color of your shoes should be one of the same colors as the dress—yellow or mustard. You can also wear warm colors like red or orange if you want a more bold statement look. If you’re going for a more subtle look, stick with beige or brown shoes.
Secondly, think about the shape of your shoe and how it will complement your body type. You want something that complements your curves without overpowering them—so choose something round rather than pointy or square-shaped!
Finally, think about texture: do you want something smooth like leather? Or would you prefer something textured like suede?
If you are going to wear a mustard-colored dress, or if you already have one in your closet, these shoes will make the perfect complement. Whether you’re wearing jeans, shorts or a dress, these shoes will add the finishing touch to your outfit.
If you want to keep things casual, try some brown sandals. Brown will go well with your dress and still be comfortable for walking around all day. If you’re looking for something more formal but still casual, try black flats or heels. Black goes well with any color, so it won’t clash with your dress as long as it isn’t too bright.
If you want to be more daring, try some red shoes! Red is a great color that goes well with almost anything and looks great against yellow-hued clothing like mustard dresses. Red heels are especially fun because they can be worn with almost anything without looking mismatched!
