The Best Shoes to Wear With a Miniskirt

last updated 13 August 2019

It's time for your legs to finally emerge from hibernation and see the light of day! Miniskirts are back with a vengeance this year (especially flirty denim styles), and given the amount of leg that a miniskirt shows, it's important to keep in mind the footwear that will best complement your mini without erring on the side of scandalous (e.g., high stilettos) or juvenile (e.g., flip-flops). The good news is that there are plenty of shoe styles that will work with the shortest of skirts. Click below to see and shop the seven types of shoes we prefer, along with a cute miniskirt pairing for each!
