How to Pair Sandals with Skirts for Spring

Pairing strappy sandals with a boho maxi or flouncy miniskirt is a no-brainer outfit combo for spring and summer. Whether you love flats or chunky platform sandals, there's no time like the present to swap out your shoes for the warmer weather. But once you've found your summer sandal outfit groove, it can be difficult to break away from your familiar fave pairings, especially when it comes to sandals and skirts. Because they go so well together, it can be difficult to pair them in new and exciting ways, but that's what we're here for. To help you add some new warm-weather sandals and skirt looks into your wardrobe rotation.

If you prefer your spring fashion streamlined and minimal, a khaki midi skirt paired with black and tan strappy platform sandals is just the ticket. If your aesthetic is more on the feminine and flirty side, simply swap out this platform style for a heeled sandal that wraps up the leg.

Satin has made its triumphant return as one of spring's most trendy textiles, but it can often read as formal. The silhouette of a satin mini skirt and a playful pair of fuzzy platform sandals give this '90s staple a fresh and fun vibe.

For a look that's equally delightful to Gen Z, Gen X, and Millennials alike, step into a pair of Y2K-inspired strappy white platform sandals and pair them with a knit mini skirt. To really embrace the throwback vibes, you can opt to wear a full-matching mini skirt set and add a butterfly clip or two.

A great way to add a fun twist to your 'fit is to pair a skirt with a bright-colored or textured sandal. We especially love the look of a woven sandal when styled with a pleated mini, maxi, or midi skirt.

Add a casual vibe to your most sweeping maxi skirt by pairing it with a pair of minimal platform sandals. The secret to what makes this look so instantly elegant despite its stark simplicity is all about the height. As such, the higher the platform, the chicer the look.

When wearing a crocheted skirt with sandals that feature webbing or mesh, a winning combination to be sure, we recommend creating color contrast by going for a black and white or warm and cool color palette.

We're not suggesting you wear a corseted floral coat festooned with tulle (although if that's your speed, go forth), but we do love the flirty created by a pair of platform jelly sandals and a pastel floral print.
