Dress shoes on a woman (left) and a man.

A dress shoe (U.S. English) is a shoe used as a component of formal wear. A dress shoe is typically contrasted to an athletic shoe.

Dress shoes are widely used in dance and for evening parties and special occasions.

Men\'s dress shoes are most commonly black or cordovan in color. Other colors include: brown, burgundy, oxblood, chestnut or white. Women\'s dress shoes come in a variety of colors: black, silver, gold, tan or white shoes are staples for women\'s dress shoes but the shoe may also match the color of the gown, dress or suit being worn.

An Oxford shoe or a loafer is an example of a man\'s dress shoe. A pump is an example of a woman\'s dress shoe.
