7 Shoe Styles Fashion Girls Wear With Miniskirts

We’re deep into summer, and midi skirts have practically become a staple at this point, but why not take advantage of the remaining warm weather with a shorter hemline? You may be thinking, miniskirt? Isn’t that so 2004? We get it. The thought of styling a miniskirt to feel sophisticated and fresh can be challenging. I too am still haunted by the micro denim mini I wore on repeat as a teen.

But when styled appropriately, the miniskirt can actually be extremely chic. It’s the shoe pairing that can make or break the outfit. Edgy Mary Janes add a cool factor while structural pumps offer a polished take. Ahead, fashion girls show us seven different shoe styles they pair with miniskirts. Warning: You are probably going to want to copy these looks from head to toe, so have your credit card handy and get ready for some major shoe shopping.

A lower heel gives you a little extra height when you’re looking to elongate your legs. These barely there sandals are still majorly trending.

A fresh way to wear sneakers is with your socks on full display. The streetwear-approved statement goes perfectly with a miniskirt.

Don’t be afraid of the high heel–and-miniskirt combo. With a pointy-toe pump, the effect is rather sophisticated.

There’s something so nostalgic about wearing a miniskirt with Mary Janes. It’s a nod to British mod style, especially with a patterned, checked skirt.

It’s no secret that the shoe of summer is the thong sandal. Whether you opt for the flat, casual flip-flop version or a pair with a little heel, this once-hated shoe is the hottest thing on Instagram right now.

These shoes are the perfect transition piece into fall. A pointier toe works best with shorter hemlines to balance out the chunkiness of the block heel.

Flat slides are an easy shoe pairing with a casual denim mini.
