As I've discussed on other pages of this gallery, there are some flats that will work with long skirts, but high heels are definitely an easier choice -- especially when it comes to dressier skirts like this one.

In addition to adding overall height and lengthening your profile, high heels also raise the back of your foot, which means more shoe or foot can be seen from the front. As an added bonus, they help to counter the shortening and widening effects of many long skirts.

Your heels don't have to be exceptionally high to work.

Strappy or low cut kitten heels can look smashing with long skirts if you remember the basic rules, and avoid shoes that will create a broken, blocky look.

Women who aren't comfortable in high heels, may want to consider wedge shoes or platform shoes, both of which many women find easier to wear and walk in.

And if you really, really hate heels, be sure to check out my tips for wearing long skirts with flat sandals.
