I'm going to a wedding this weekend and have this dress to wear. I have nude pumps or black pumps. Which would you wear?  |

I would wear black but really think either one would be equally nice.

Pumps being flat shoes? Probably nude, elongate the legs 🙂

Open toes like in the picture.. black. Pump with a heel nude.
Or go for a splash of color.

Pumps would mean a classic heel. I think black.

Since pumps cover more of your foot that what’s pictured I’d go with the nude.

I hate the word "pumps". I've never heard anyone say that IRL. Why wouldn't you just say "heel"?
To me pumps implies a certain style of little old lady not quite the right color of nude, cheap pebbly leather, almost orthopedic shoes, with a short stubby heel and not quite rounded, not quite square, not quite right toe.

Voted black. Googled images of both paired with a black lace dress and black pumps just looked better to me.

I wore pumps or flats, heels if I wanted to be totally uncomfortable. I think black or nude would work. Or as someone already suggested you could add a splash of color with your shoes, depending upon the event. |

I hear the word "pumps" all the time out this way, and they are in reference to shoes that are opposite of what you described (stylish shoes, with 2-3" heels).  I would choose black shoes with this dress. |

I voted nude. I’m loving the nude shoe look lately especially with a dress that has texture and you want to dress to be the star. Nude doesn’t draw your eye away from dress like black and I think nude makes your legs look longer, not cut off. Sometimes I love a great statement shoe but in this case I’d go nude.

Not necessarily “old lady” shoes, but something that is always appropriate for work. I voted black for that dress. Or, if you want something other than black, I’d choose silver or gold. I definitely wouldn’t go with nude. |

I just can't wear a light-colored shoe. I always go with the black.

I prefer black. IMO, if you wear nude pumps/heels/stilettos/whatever they should be the same color as your skin color. In other words, just because the color is nude doesn't mean they are nude (or invisible) on you.

Lol, pumps are essentially the uniform shoe of the corporate business world. A heel could be a pump or sandal. You made me wonder if the term pump had become outdated, but not based on the categories at Designer Shoe Warehouse or Nordstroms. marzbar71 DSW Pumps

ETA I see Merge beat me to it.  marzbar71, I would go with nude for a wedding to keep the look a little lighter. If I was wearing black pumps, I'd also wear black hose and think that would be a bit dark. |

Are the nude shoes patent? I think if it's a dark nude-to-you it would be nice, im not sure about a light nude-to-you.
I would go with black patent open toe personally I think.

I'd go with black for an evening wedding. Nude heels are generally more daytime unless they're strappy or otherwise dressier.

I wore a very similar dress to a wedding this past weekend. I chose nude, mostly because I have short, stubby legs and I didn't want the dark shoe to cut them off. If it was an evening wedding I may have gone darker, but I already had these and they are comfortable. Attachments:

I would choose black simply because that’s what I already have, and I’m really pale so I don’t like how nude colored shoes look on me.
