5 Throw-On Shoes Londoners Are Exclusively Wearing With Skirts

With the warmer weather firmly here, the chicest people in London have dug out their skirts in celebration. As someone who has always found shoe pairings tricky, I've looked into how our stylish friends are pairing skirts this season, and it seems these five styles are firm favourites. 

There's no denying that maxi styles are definitely having a moment right now, but of course midi skirts and even minis remain staples in many wardrobes. It's no surprise really, as there's so many styling possibilities when it comes to skirts, allowing you to build an outfit for all occasions. Add a simple tee and trainers and you're ready for a casual weekend, or slip into a chunky leather flip flop and throw on a satin shirt to head out to dinner. Skirts are truly versatile, and from my research can be paired with almost any shoe, but if you're interested in the five styles that fashion people in London are backing right now, keep on scrolling. 

Wherever you're headed, and whichever hem length you're leaning towards, these are the shoes that London girls are pairing with skirts for 2023. 

1. TRAINERS

Style Tips: I'm a big fan of any outfit pairing that calls for trainers. The comfort and ease makes these a no brainer in my opinion, and if you're lucky enough, you can wear this pairing for everything from running errands to work. 

Wear with slip skirt and boxy tee for easy weekend look.

If you're a fan of a chunky trainer then these should be on your radar.

2. CHUNKY FLIP FLOP

Style Tips: The easiest way to elevate your skirt, no matter the hemline, is with a sleek pair of flip flops. Go for a chunky platform wedge for the 2023 update and wear with everthing from maxi lengths to mini.

The influencer favourite... We are big fans of this new colourway from the comfortable footwear brand.

3. LOAFERS

Style Tips: For the perfect balance of style and comfort, a great pair of loafers should be on your list. If trainers aren't your style, or feel too casual, pair your skirt with timeless loafers.

This burgandy pair has gone to the top of my wish list. 

This leather lined pair is one of the best on the high street. 

4. BALLET FLATS

Yep they are going to go with everything in my wardrobe, all year round.

I have these and can vouch for how comfortable they are. 

5. SANDALS

Style Tips: Take it from Karina, we're in sandal season. For the summer months, a great pair of understated sandals can be slipped on as an easy way to finish your skirt

Shop the look:

Elevate your Birkies with a splash of gold. 

These staples will serve you well summer after summer.

We're mildly obsessed with Gucci's bold take on statement sandals.
