Shoes to wear with short skirts
Mini skirts are all about showing off your legs. Take a look at some of the best choices in shoes to wear with short skirts, as well as a few styles to avoid:
Flip-flops. If you’re going casual, you can go for flip-flops or other flat sandals. If the skirt is simple, such as a denim mini, you can wear sandals that have beading, sequins or metallic detailing for a great look.
Sneakers. It’s definitely a casual look, but sneakers go well with a short skirt, such as denim mini. Stay away from puffy, cross-trainers, and go for a streamlined classic.
Wedge sandals. Espadrille, bohemian, strappy and woven styles are all great choices, but remember they should be sandals – as in open-toed. A closed-toe wedge is a little too heavy for a casual short skirt.
Flats. Ballet flats and skimmers don’t go well with longer skirts, but they look great with short skirts. Choose a pretty and simple style, and pair it with a casual or semi-casual mini skirt.
Tall boots. Flat or heeled, knee-high boots or boots that fall just below the knee are a great choice to wear with shorter skirts, but the boots should have a simple design.
Kitten heels. Kitten heels work well with short skirts. Thongs, slides, and strappy sandals with a small, low heel look great with a mini skirt.
Shoes to be careful with
What we see on the runways isn’t always the best look for real life, or all body types.
Ankle boots can make some women’s legs look bulkier and shorter than they actually are. Ankle boots should be avoided by women with very thin legs, as skinny calves could appear to be swimming inside of ankle boots.
Stiletto heels are not that comfortable, but they make women’s legs look sexier than any other type of shoe. If you feel comfortable wearing stiletto heels, then go for them.
High heeled pumps can sometimes be a bit too heavy looking for most short skirts.
Footwear to avoid with short skirts
You should avoid wearing the following shoes as they are too bulky for most short skirts: oxfords, bulky shoes, cross-trainers, clogs, socks.
Make the right choice and wear the right shoes that will show off your legs and complement your look!
