Unless you're model-thin or extremely tall, it's difficult to pull off wearing ballet flats or other flat shoes with long skirts.

Heavy, bulky, or closed flats paired with a long skirt can often create a shorter, wider, and overall frumpy appearance -- exactly the look most of us are trying to avoid.

But, if the flats in question happen to be strappy sandals, then it's a completely different story.

Skimpy flat sandals work well with longer skirts because they show a lot of skin beneath the hemline. This actually makes the skirt seem shorter -- or the legs seem longer. But whatever the case, skimpy flat sandals are a winning look with casual long skirts.
