Types of Shoes for Long Skirts

The Best Footwear for a Long Lined Skirt

Lin Andriyenko
Long skirts give a soft and airy feel to any type of top. They are worn on the hot days of summer and can even be worn in the chilly fall when paired with a warm sweater or small jacket. What are the best types of shoes that match a long skirt? The worst thing someone can do is think just because their skirt is long, their shoes will not show when this is often not the case. Here are the best shoe types that can match the innovative look of any kind of long skirt.

High Heeled Sandals

Strappy sandals with a long heel will give the skirt more flair. A flat sandal can work with a maxi skirt or dress, but if the skirt is long and plain it needs something special to stand out, that's when a good pair of platform heeled sandals come into the forefront. They can be worn with a long and silky black skirt or even deep colored hues of purple and green. The best color choices for the sandals themselves would be a creamy beige or a black.

Ankle Boots

Since the hem of the skirt will touch the top of any kind of ankle boot, they are best for the look of a full length boot with a long skirt. They give off more comfort especially in hot days and work well with printed skirts of floral or paisley. The best color choice would be black as it matches with all types of long skirts whether straight line or flouncy.

Platform Heels

Platform heels are a new look of today that give a heel a wide and wedged tip. With a long and body hugging skirt, they are very streamline and classy. This kind of look goes well with business attire, a long black skirt, some nude platform heels and a black blazer. This style is not the most comfortable and should be worn only as a career outfit or a special event. A rounded toe heels works the best with a long skirt, as pointy will certainly give the look of a witch.

These three types of shoes work the best with any long styled skirt whether its straight, flouncy or has a fun printed pattern.

  • Long boots can be uncomfortable under a long skirt.
  • Heeled sandals give a great summer look to a long skirt.
