Here, thong sandals are used to give this full long skirt a laid-back, casual look that's ideal for warm weather, beach vacations, or events that call for a great look that's neither too casual or too dressy.

Flats paired with long skirts can sometimes be a problematic combination, as they can make your legs appear shorter and heavier. But since the skirt here is very long and full, and the shoes are very skimpy, the look really works.

Other top shoe styles for skirts like this are:

  • wedge sandals.
  • tall, heeled boots.
  • strappy sandals with high heels.
