7 Shoes Everyone Is Wearing With Those Trendy Full Skirts

One of the prettiest trends of the season is full skirts, and I predict their popularity will only grow as we head further into spring and people start ditching the jeans and trousers. Ever since Prada began filling its runways with full midi and maxi skirts last year, the trend has skyrocketed, and countless brands have jumped on board.

Given the longer length of most full skirts, they actually look good with more shoe styles than you'd think, but there are a select few shoe trends this season that all of the full skirt loving fashion folk are gravitating toward. Yep, you guessed it—I'm here to share those trends with you.

I searched Instagram high and low for full-skirt outfits, and there are seven shoe trends I saw them paired with over and over. Some are elegant, some are casual, and some are unexpected. All of them will take your full-skirt outfits to the next level. Without further ado, here are the shoe trends to wear with full skirts this spring and summer and beyond. Hot tip: Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to shop some of my favorite full skirts.

1. Mesh Flats

Style Notes: Given how popular mesh flats are right now, it's no surprise that people are wearing them with full skirts. They'll give your full skirts a modern feel.

2. Red Heels

Style Notes: Red shoes are still wildly popular, thanks to the bold pop of color they bring to any outfit. But they look especially chic and elegant when paired with a full skirt.

3. Mary Janes

Style Notes: Mary Janes were everywhere last year, but with new styles continuing to crop up from our favorite retailers, it looks like they're here to stay. Paired with a full skirt, they're a sweet combination that works for many occasions.

4. Retro Sneakers

Style Notes: Retro sneaker styles such as Adidas's Samba, Adidas's SL 72, and Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico 66 are a surprising choice to wear with full skirts, but somehow, it works.

5. Ballet Flats

Style Notes: Like Mary Janes, ballet flats with midi skirts are a sweet ballerina-inspired combination. With the variety of ballet flat styles available, you'd be hard-pressed to find a pair that doesn't complement your favorite full-bodied skirt.

6. Minimalistic Sandals
