What Shoes to Wear with a Short Skirt?

You’d like to wear short skirts and are wondering how to pair them with shoes? How do you choose footwear that matches your style and flatters your figure?

I will help you.

As a fashion enthusiast, I believe that to create a stylish outfit, it’s essential to coordinate not only your clothing but also your accessories and shoes. When it comes to a skirt, the right shoes are crucial, as they will complete your look and highlight your legs.

Today, I’m bringing you a small selection of shoes that are easy to pair with a short skirt, along with some simple fashion tips you can easily apply.

With a short skirt, you can wear high-heeled shoes (like chunky heeled booties or knee-high boots), wedge sandals, or flat shoes, depending on your style. If you’re looking for comfort, you can always go for a pair of classic white sneakers. The key is to create color coordination between your shoes and the rest of your outfit, and to choose a pair that complements your personal style!

3 Tips for Choosing the Right Shoes with a Mini Skirt

Back in fashion for a few months now, the miniskirt is an iconic piece of clothing, a symbol of women’s emancipation, and has been reinterpreted by top designers for decades. In the following lines, I will share some tips on how to incorporate it into your wardrobe.

Wear Heels… but with Style!

Are you wondering if you can wear heels with a short skirt? It is indeed possible, but to avoid a fashion faux pas, it’s essential to choose heels that match your skirt, as well as, and most importantly, the occasion for which you are wearing it.

Indeed, certain high-heeled shoes paired with a short skirt can create an impression of an outfit that is a bit too revealing and sensual, which may not be appropriate for a strict professional setting, for instance.

So, if you want to wear heels and a short skirt for a stylish and sophisticated look, I recommend opting for ankle boots or wide-heeled sandals that aren’t too high. In my opinion, 5 centimeters is the perfect height.

However, if you want to wear a mini skirt for a night out and achieve a very sexy look, you can dare to choose slightly thinner and higher heels. Just make sure to check that these shoes fit perfectly with your outfit and don’t look out of place before you wear them!

Choose Matte Fabrics for a Chic Style

Similarly, if you want your outfit to look more sophisticated, I recommend matte leather shoes for example. Shiny shoes paired with a short skirt may not come across as elegant, especially if they are completely glossy.

👉 Do your shoes have a small silver or gold detail? If it’s a buckle or a delicate pattern that matches other elements of your outfit (accessories, top, etc.), they might perfectly complement your skirt. Feel free to try them out!

Create Color Reminders

As I have mentioned in several articles before, the key to creating a visually appealing outfit that flatters you is to ensure it has consistency. To achieve this, incorporating color and material coordination is essential. If your shoes are colorful, I recommend including that same color at least once more in your outfit to create a cohesive look. This could be the color of your skirt, or it could come from an accessory such as a handbag, jewelry, a hairpin, or a belt.

What type of shoes should you wear in winter with a short skirt? ❄️🍂

Want to wear your short skirt in the fall or winter? Here’s a selection of outfit ideas to inspire you in finding your style.

Choose a stylish and chic look with ankle boots

Easy to wear, comfortable, and stylish, ankle boots are perfect for pairing with a short skirt. Choose ones that are a bit high and fitted around your ankle to elongate your legs.

If you’re tall, you can wear flat ankle boots without any worries. If you’re on the shorter side, feel free to choose ones with a small heel of a few centimeters to elongate your silhouette.

Thigh-High Boots for Their Sexy Appeal

If you’re looking for a glamorous and sensual look, I highly recommend pairing your mini skirt with a pair of black matte thigh-high boots. These stunning shoes alone will give you a sexy vibe. Therefore, I suggest wearing them with a simple yet elegant outfit.

👉 To avoid overdoing it while still looking chic, steer clear of plunging necklines and overly flashy accessories if you’re wearing a short skirt and over-the-knee boots. The secret to your charm lies in your simplicity!

Black Leather Boots for a Rock and Roll Look

Do you love bold outfits that showcase your originality? A pair of black flat ankle boots, like Dr. Martens, will pair perfectly with a short skirt to create a style that reflects you. They are comfortable and ideal for those who need to stay active while looking stylish. For a complete rock look, I recommend pairing this outfit with a black leather biker jacket, a small dark bag with metallic details, as well as silver jewelry and sunglasses! 😉

How to Choose the Color of Your Shoes Based on Your Tights?

To wear your skirt when it’s chilly, you often need to put on tights or stockings. The most classic solution is usually to wear opaque black tights, which will match most outfits.

However, there are many fancy tights available in a variety of colors and patterns. They are an easy way to personalize and brighten up a more classic outfit.

Here are some tips for choosing your tights based on the rest of your outfit:

🔸 If you choose cheerful-colored tights (yellow, orange, red, sky blue…), wear shoes that match the color of your dress.

🔸 If your shoes and skirt are white (or pastel), opt for black or gray tights.

🔸 Camel ankle boots will pair perfectly with navy blue tights.

What Shoes to Wear in Summer with a Short Skirt? ☀️🌻

Planning to wear a short skirt this summer? I’ve put together some inspiring outfit ideas, along with tips on how to customize them to fit your tastes and style!

Dare to Embrace Bohemian Style with Lightweight Flat Sandals

Light and feminine, the short skirt is a piece of clothing that can easily fit into a bohemian-style outfit. This fashion trend, perfect for vacations and warm days, is ideal for those who enjoy wearing comfortable and flowy attire.

To maintain the simplicity of bohemian style, I recommend pairing your skirt with lightweight sandals. These can be made of leather, but also from natural plant-based materials, such as straw or rope. Opt for styles with thin straps and lighter colors, which will enhance your legs and tan, while beautifully complementing a white skirt or one with delicate patterns.

Bohemian Skirts

Ankle-strap Sandals for an Elegant Look

If you want to highlight your legs, you can choose sandals that wrap around your ankles with delicate straps. These will add a sexy touch to your outfit while still keeping it chic. By opting for a pair with wedge heels, you’ll be able to wear your outfit for a night out or even for a special occasion, such as a wedding or a baptism.

Sneakers for a Stylish and Casual Look

Do you want to wear your skirt with comfortable shoes that allow you to stand for long periods, walk, or even do a bit of exercise? The easiest option is to choose a pair of low-top sneakers that you can wear without socks or with invisible ankle socks. For a bright and summery look, I recommend choosing white sneakers and keeping them impeccably clean. However, if you prefer, you can also pick a pair in the same color as your skirt to add a touch of originality while maintaining a cohesive outfit.

How to Choose Shoes That Flatter Your Curves?

Are you a bit on the curvier side and want to wear a short skirt? Pair it with high-heeled shoes to accentuate your beautiful curves. Don’t hesitate to choose styles with heels, as they will elongate your legs. For example, you might opt for wedge sandals in the summer with ankle straps, gladiator sandals, or knee-high boots or over-the-knee boots in the winter.
