Deciding which shoes to wear with satin skirts may not sound tricky, but I found myself working through this precise dilemma recently. In the wake of the sunshine and pleasant 15-degree temperatures we’ve been experiencing, I’ve rediscovered the more lightweight pieces in my capsule wardrobe, this including my selection of pretty satin midi skirts. Admittedly it has been a while since I wore them, so when I initially pulled on a cream fluted style, I found myself unsure what to do with it next. Top-wise I kept things simple—a white shirt in a soft washed cotton to emulate the same fluid texture of the skirt. So far so good. Expensive-looking gold jewellery in the form of my stacked bracelets and my signature gold hoops; easy. Then came shoes, and I was a little bit stumped.
On this particular day, my trusty tan slider sandals, which I always tend to wear with my satin skirts in the summer, weren’t quite warm enough. Pulling on some loafers, they didn’t seem to work for me either (I see many people make this combination look chic but, on me, they just don’t gel). An hour later I had tried on pretty well every footwear item I own with the same skirt, and I can confirm that some shoes do go better with satin skirts than others.
Thinking you might be experiencing the same predicament, I decided to list out the shoe trends to wear with satin skirts that always result in a failsafe outcome. Using chic influencer imagery, scroll on to see the pairs I think work best.
The Best Shoes to Wear With Satin Skirts
1. Pointed Mules
Style Notes: Given their fluidity and soft nature, some shoes, especially full-coverage shoes, can look too heavy with satin skirts. This is where backless mules come in. Even those with closed toes look much daintier than traditional pumps. Personally I prefer the look of pointed mules in this instance, mainly due to the fact they further elongate the leg, creating a sleek-looking silhouette.
