Whether for a weekend walk or for the office, blue pumps combine wonderfully with different outfits. In the article we reveal which colors go with the most popular shades of blue.

To find the best color combination for your blue pumps, the exact shade of blue plays a crucial role. You must determine this first and only thenLook for suitable combination options.
There are as many shades of blue as there are women who want to wear them. Below we summarize the most popular ones and reveal which colors you can wear with them.
Perfect for fall and winter, but also a warmer weather favorite - dark blues look fantastic with white. So good that there is even an entire fashion genre that deals almost exclusively with these two tones: maritime.
The problem is that this color combination is so often used in conjunction with a marine theme that it's easy to look nautical even if you don't want to. If you want to wear navy pumps with white but at the same time avoid getting ship-related comments, our first tip is to avoid wearing stripes. Instead, look for pieces with floral or geometric prints that combine navy blue and white. You should also avoid red accents with this combination, as they further emphasize the maritime look.
Other colors that look great with these deep blues include fuchsia, deep orange, and almost any shade of green. Dark blue pumps combine beautifully with yellowish green tones such as chartreuse and lime.
Plus, everyone tends tocolored shoesto look great when paired with their own color (no matter what shade), but navy blue looks especially amazing when worn with blue garments. Whether you choose baby blue, cobalt, or navy blue itself, navy pumps undoubtedly look great when paired with other shades of blue. Opt for a fresh white base and add a few splashes of yellow or green for an unbeatable outfit.
Midtones: cobalt, bright and royal blue
If we take a look at the color wheel, we can immediately determine that orange is the complementary color of medium blue. That's why wearing the two colors together creates a very dynamic combination. Other colors that go well with medium and royal blues include light, bright and medium blue-greens, almost any shade of purple, white and black.
If you want to combine bright blue pumps, you should wear them with either a dress or a blouse with a vibrant print. Alternatively, you can choose a neutral color such as black, white or gray and add accents with your shoes and other accessories in this color.
Combine soft, muted and dark blue pumps
Muted and sombre blues have such a beautiful, soft, relaxed appeal that they are perfect for pairing with light to medium neutrals and earthy tones such as cream, taupe, nude and beige. These colors can also be used very wellCombine with your favorite jeans.
If you're looking for a little more contrast, try pairing these soft blues with the following colors:
- vibrant pink tones
- deep golden yellow
- medium to dark red tones
- or rich, chocolatey brown tones
Light, sky, powder, baby and other pastel blue shades
Many women find pastel blue extremely attractive, but because it is so bright, it is not always as easy to combine as some other shades of blue. The color that always goes well with it is white. The pastel blue tones can be combined quite well with light to medium earthy neutral tones or almost any shade of gray.
Black can also go very well with light blue, but you need to be very careful with the rest of the accessories. Stick to a simple, limited color scheme. If you're wearing pastel blue pumps with a black dress, your belt, bag, and any non-metallic jewelry should match your shoes as much as possible.
So far so good. When we move beyond the neutrals, things get a little tricky. But all you really need to do is match the tone of your clothes to the tone of your shoes. Unless both tones appear in a print, stick to soft tones such as peach, pale yellow, soft to mid-tone pinks, lavender, and minty greens.
Aqua, teal, turquoise and other blue-green shades
Light and light shades of greenish blues and bluish greens are perfect for spring and summer, while darker shades of teal and turquoise are particularly suitable for cooler weather. On top of that, they are one of the most fun shades of blue to work with. Maybe that's why some grade of turquoise, teal or aqua is almost always on trend.
If your pumps are more on the blue side of the spectrum, consider pairing them with shades of orange, especially light to medium tones like coral and peach. Darker blues, which are more on the green side, contrast nicely with deep reds and rusts. And almost every shade of blue that falls into this watery category looks fantastic with other blues and greens. They just look magical together.
Another great combination is brown tones and other medium to dark earth tones and neutral colors. The contrast in these color combinations is so pleasing that you don't really need many other choices.
