- Show off your legs with stilettos -- the classic choice for the high fashion of the one-shoulder dress. Stilettos are thin high heels, typically at least 3 inches high. If the dress is a solid color, such as bright blue, then choose a shoe with embellishments such as rhinestones, beading or a bold pattern. You can also elongate your legs in a shorter dress by wearing a nude-colored heel.
- Play up your casual side by wearing the trendy wedge heels. Wedge heels can be made out of various fabrics such as leather, canvas or wood. The wedge can also come in an espadrille version, which resembles a rope pattern weaved into the blocked heel. Pair the wedge, which ranges in height from 1 inch to 3 inches, with a patterned dress made out of cotton. A causal heel should match a casual dress, so avoid wearing a wedge with a more formal one-shoulder dress.
- Lace up the ankle booties for a trendy, fashion-forward approach to the one-shoulder dress. Booties, which are most popular in the fall and winter months, should be worn with a heel ranging from 1 inch to 3 inches in height. Choose a color that coordinates with the dress, or stick with standard black, gray or brown. Purchase booties that contain trimming such as fabric flowers or an engraved pattern on the shoe.
- Tone down the heel height with a kitten heel. The kitten heel is a smaller heel size, typically less than an inch, and offers more stability than a stiletto, wedge or bootie. Pair the heel with a dress that comes to just below the knee. Kitten heels come in a variety of styles such as open toe, closed toe and pointed toe. Choose the one that is the most comfortable for your feet.
