Navy dress....what accessories??

annon123

Hi, im going to a wedding at the end of August. I got a navy dress to wear. the dress is very simple...simply navy silk,with navy flowers embroidered into it. What colour accessories would you recommend to wear with it? and is it hard to find navy shoes???

Silver strappy sandals and silver jewelery..??

Definitely silver. My sister in law wore a navy dress with silver accessories to a wedding recently and it looked really luxurious and expensive.

Or pale gold or a rich purple, sounds mad but would look great.

The first colour that came into my head was white. If you're tanned or getting tan done i think that would look great.

My friend bought a navy and white dress for a ball and cant find navy shoes. We have been all over looking for navy shoes and unless you are willing to pay over 100 euro you will not find them!

I'd go with silver sandles...

a pale yellow will go, keep it minimal as it will act as an accent to the dress, it will be alot warmer than silver, although silver will look well it'll cool down the outfit, a pale yellow will warm it up. contrasting colours rather than colours that blend in,

just my 2 cents

Gold

Sounds like a cute number - 40's look would really set it off. keep it classy and simple with one funky key piece could be a striking Clutch bag. Navy is big this year so ya will hopefully pick up a pair if not (with the fear of being predictable) Topshop have amazing vintage class shoes at moment or Premoli always has some beauts- low instep open toes are always flaterring and elongate legs. If you kept it all navy and red tights / clutch or shoes would be class (I think) If you have good legs skin colour stockings with seams would be great.
If not contrast as suggested above light gold silver purple peach orange red pink ..... bring it together with jewelery
Maybe pearls?

Try traditional set waves (like in granny photos)

simple make up keying 1 feature dramatic eyes or bright lippy.

Well done for picking a right on trend colour. Remember how the rules were broken when we put pinks and orange together? Well, this season it's all about teaming navy with black and grey. Pick up a grey clutch bag in house of Fraser, team with black shoes and a grey cardi or jacket either sleeveless or with sleeves depending on the dress. Go for black or navy opaque tights in at least a 50 denier. If you combine the dress with black and or grey you will be absolutely up to the minute In Fashion and much less likely to look like a pre-Christmas tree! Enjoy the wedding

I wore a navy dress to a wedding in the summer and wore coral pink accessories- shoes, bag and fascinator. Don't know if coral pink is still in for Autumn though. Navy shoes are impossible to find so don't bother lookin- Dunnes & M& S are the only places I could find them and they were clumpy work shoes.

+1 for either purple or pale yellow. Either one adds an eye-catching element, and brighten up what can otherwise be a very dark outfit.

Something a little unexpected, like yellow or pale blue or maybe some shade of pink.

Personally I wouldn't go for red or white, I hate the whole "nautical" theme.

Where did you get the dress, is there a picture of it online maybe?

I think the wedding might be over. It was over a year ago!

I think we can safely say that the OP sorted her problem out.
