The wedge sandals and flared skirt shown here are a perfect combination, since the casual nature of the sandals are an ideal match for the denim skirt.

Wedges are a great choice for long skirts that have a bit of fullness at the hemline, but they can look too heavy for skirts that are very narrow.

More top shoe styles for long, flared skirts include:

  • low cut pumps.
  • tall, fitted boots (heeled or flat).
  • tall slouch boots (heeled or flat).
  • strappy sandals.

Shoe styles that can be problematic with long, flared skirts:

  • Ballet flats. They can make your legs seem shorter and heavier.

  • Heavy or bulky shoes, as they can often convert to very matronly or clunky look.

  • Ankle boots that are short enough to still show some leg. This can make your calves look very thick.
