One of the prettiest trends of the season is full skirts, and I predict its popularity will only grow as summer draws nearer and people ditch the jeans and trousers. Ever since Prada began filling their runways with full midi and maxi skirts last year, the trend has skyrocketed, with countless brands jumping on board.
Given the longer length of full skirts (most are midi or maxi-length), 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 clearly gravitating toward, and 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, while some are unexpected. And all of them will take your full-skirt outfits to the next level. So without further ado, here are the shoe trends to wear with full skirts this spring and summer (and probably beyond). Hot tip: Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to shop some of my favorite full skirts.
