These Are the 6 Best Shoes to Wear With All Your Skirts

If you haven't noticed, skirts, no matter the hemline, are all over the fashion scene. Maxi, midi, or midi, it seems like everyone wants a piece. We're not surprised, as they carry the same silhouette and ease as a dress but offer twice as much versatility with how you style them. The tricky part? Figuring out which shoes to wear with them. While jeans and trousers come with easier options (almost any shoe style goes), skirts don't follow the same fate. Luckily for you, we know a thing or two about styling, so we'll give some assistance with your outfit woes. 

Ahead, see which shoes we think pair the best with all the skirts you've got in your closet. Knee-high boots will go with your miniskirts and midis, and the same goes for your favorite pair of sneakers. You can wear them now or transition them to the next season. Keep scrolling for more.

1. Tall Boots

Tall boots just happen to be our favorite match with skirts. They're the perfect way to transition into the cooler weather, and they work well with skirts of any length.

2. Strappy Heels

Sometimes, you just need to feel a little dressed up, and strappy heels will always check that box for you. 

3. Sneakers

The sneaker-and-skirt combo is a favorite among the fashion set. That's probably because it gives that relaxed yet chic vibe many of us want to achieve.

4. Heeled Mules

The beloved '90s trend is a fan favorite. It's an easy slip-on and has a sleek style, making it a perfect addition to your next skirt outfit.

5. Simple Flats

I know we said heels work well with skirts, but don't completely count out flats. Simple ballet-style flats or slides work just as great and might be a little more on the comfier side.

6. Chunky Platform

The higher the heel, the cooler the outfit. If a traditional heel isn't your cup of tea, try a platform for more stability and additional height.
