5 Shoe Trends French and Italian Women Are Wearing With Miniskirts Right Now
We're approaching 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, "A 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 throughout my teenage years.
When styled with the right shoes, though, a miniskirt can actually be extremely chic. It's the shoe pairing that can make or break the outfit. Edgy heeled mules add a cool factor, and timeless ballet flats offer a polished take. Ahead, the stylish sets from France and Italy show us five 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.
Miniskirt + Loafers
How to style: Opt for a simple white tee to let the sporty skirt do all the talking. When paired with loafers, this cool, casual look is kicked up a notch.
Miniskirt + Flats
How to style: European women and ballet flats go hand in hand, so it's no surprise Italian and French women opt to wear this timeless staple with all of their miniskirts. Plus, this skirt-and-shoe combination can be worn year-round.
Miniskirt + Sneakers
How to style: While you'd think white sneakers are a big no-no in Paris and Milan, the stylish women from abroad often opt to wear the no-fuss, comfort-first style when it comes to styling their miniskirts in the spring and summer.
Miniskirt + Heeled Sandals
How to style: Need to turn up the heat on your basic black mini? Opt for sexy black sandals for all of your nighttime plans in the summer.
Miniskirt + Mules
How to style: Similar to classic black summer heels, closed-toe mules are the fashion set's solution to the "what shoes do I wear with a miniskirt?" problem. This sleeker, chicer version is perfect for any and all occasions.
