No matter the season, skirts are always worn in heavy rotation, but I would argue that they have been particularly more in the spotlight as of late. In fact, skirts seem to be taking over my fashion-heavy social feed the past week with fall styling in mind. What caught my eye when coming across the varying takes across Instagram and TikTok is the selection of stylish shoes that each skirt was being paired with. This inspired me to take some notes and save a variety of these skirt-and-shoe outfit ideas to refer to over the next few months.

From full skirts with loafers to miniskirts with knee-high boots and denim maxis with slingback heels, I narrowed down five key combinations that are spot-on for the season. Keep scrolling to see the visual outfit inspiration and to shop key pieces from each look. These will have you looking like a fashion person for fall in no time.
