Is it ok to wear a black dress with a wide brown belt? I bought a dress similiar to the one below, but the waist isn't cinched in, it just flows from the top down and I wanted to get some sort of shape so I thought a belt would look cute. I keep seeing people mixing brown and black, but wasn't sure. Also, would I wear brown shoes, too? Or should I just get a gold belt? TIA!
LOVE, though I prefer a brown belt that's not too dark-chocolate because I think the contrast in very neccessary so as not to have people think you're trying to pass off the belt as black.
I agree yes - do you have leopard shoes? I just always feel like (for me) leopard pulls the brown & black together - especially if I'm feeling uncomfortable about it.

I'm sorry but I say no.... I guess you can pull it off with the shoe color as suggested, but I have always avoided black with brown. Its a nice look your trying to do, so If you're going for a more refined look I would change the belt color.
I don't like black with brown that often, except - I love black dresses with brown belts for some reason. I agree with Lilykind that the brown should be obviously brown and not almost-black.
And, like Laken - I think leopard shoes would be perfect!!
I like it, again as long as the brown is lighter so it doesn't look like you're trying to pass it off as black.
I have a little black cotton sundress that I wear with a wide, kind of distressed old-school tan leather belt. I've worn it with black sandals, tan sandals, and cream peep toe pumps. I think a print would be cute, too.

No, I don't, but that's a great idea! I'll have to look for some. Thanks!
BTW- this is Similiar to the belt I was planning on wearing with it. Will this look ok? Or should I just wear it with the second one and gold heels? Thanks for everyone's help!
