The Best Shoes for Long Skirts and Dresses
While there's no doubt that short skirts are sexy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], long skirts can be sexy and so much more: romantic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], polished, classic, laid-back, or even powerful. But whatever look you're trying to pull together, pairing the wrong shoes with a long skirt can blow the whole effect.
Fortunately, the shoe rules for long skirts are much simpler than you might think. In fact, it's really just a balancing act.
Longer skirts and dresses cover the majority of your body. To create a look that is flowing rather than broken or unbalanced, your footwear will need to accomplish one of the following three things:
1. Visually become a part of the skirt.
Think of tall boots that are covered by the hemline of the skirt
2. Add length or height beneath the hemline of the skirt, so that the skirt will seem shorter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or your legs will seem longer.
High heels that show a lot of skin work well for this.
3. Work with the lines of the skirt to create a look that is balanced.
For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a chunky wedge heel will work with a fuller skirt, but might be too clunky for a long fitted skirt.
