It is generally the case that silver or gold will match any colour prom dress, which can make finding metallic shoes that suit your prom dress easier. Metallic shoes have the advantage of adding a bit of extra glitz and can be worn again with other outfits. Choose either silver or gold based on what jewellery you are wearing (i.e. if you are wearing gold jewellery, wear gold shoes). Black shoes are always a popular choice and if you’re wearing a black prom dress they are probably the best choice. However, while it’s generally considered that black goes with everything, if you’re wearing other colours black may not coordinate as well as metallic or matching your colour. For example, if you’re wearing a light or bright colour prom gown and have black shoes on, the black shoes will draw attention downwards and won’t look coordinated.
