White is rarely just white when it comes to paint, dresses and white dress shoes. If sandshell, bone, ivory, cream, champagne, shell or diamond aren't quite the white you seek, don't worry, most white dress shoes are dye-able. Dye-ables are top picks in white dress shoes! Steve Madden, Coloriffics, and Touch Ups are just a few places to look for dyeable white dress shoes to match whatever your tone of white might be.
White and Texture Belong Together
Satin and patent leather may be popular options in white dress shoes, but they're just the beginning. White dress shoes come in a whole array of fabrics, textures, and patterns across the white spectrum. Raw silks, silk satins, pressed patent leathers, and both real and faux skins all add dimension to white dress shoes. Cut outs, peep toes, pleats, twists, ruching and metallic effects are basic style options adding visual interest to otherwise simple white dress shoe designs. Pair textured white dress shoes with a classic simple skirt suit, dress pant or sheath dress ' adding just enough visual interest to tie the outfit together perfectly.
Ornamentation and Embellishment
If you are looking for something a bit more unique, consider one of our top picks in white dress shoes - ornamentation. Ornamental features add a focal point to white dress shoes. A single flower, bow or ornamental embellishment adds to the special quotient of white dress shoes. Elegance can be achieved with a single ornament or a succession of ornamentation. Larger flowers and bows at the heel or toe can add drama, while rhinestones and sparkling ornamentation add formality to any white dress shoe. Feathers, ruffle trim, rows of ruffles, or a series of rosettes will up the romance and wow factor! Planning to wear that white sheath dress with the gold Grecian detail to your cousin's afternoon wedding means shopping for embellished white dress shoes. Try a pair of white 4.5' platform slides with a gold link T-strap and you'll be beaming for your cousin's big day!
High and Low
Available in heights from flats to serious platforms, white dress shoes accommodate any outfit or hemline. In a multitude of shapes, widths and materials, heel options in white dress shoes are for every age group, attire and budget. Wedge white dress shoes are the chameleons of heels. Available at any height including platforms, wedges are a comfortable, stable, grass friendly heel option. For a lower heel, slip into a pair of thong white dress shoes with a kitten heel. Pair with a floral skirt for a romantic evening or with a long gauzy dress for a beachside reception. A classic open toed 3 1/4' D'Orsay satin pump with pleating and ornamental rhinestones at the vamp is a top pick in white dress shoes well worth the investment. Able to dress up a fitted summer dress or act as Cinderella's slipper for the ball, this classic 3 1/4' pump won't be turning into a pumpkin anytime soon!
No matter the style, height or tone, white dress shoes have you covered. Top picks in white dress shoes offer flattering style, wearability and a little something special to help you feel like the belle of the ball.
