Picking the right shoes to go with an outfit can be tricky; there’s so many options out there, so which one is the best pairing? If selecting footwear has you stumped and you’re wondering what shoes to wear with each outfit, look no further! Here’s several of my favorite shoe and outfit combinations so you can style to perfection…
What shoes to wear with kaftans
Kaftans are easy, breezy, and comfy, so your footwear should be too! I love lace up flat sandals that are easy to wear in warmer temps and ready for walking. Shop my favorite flat sandals for women below:
What shoes to wear with maxi skirts
Maxi skirts can be tricky to style, but don’t worry! There’s a sweet footwear choice you can go with: heeled sandals! You’ll have a peek of the sandals under the skirt, while open-toe keeps you cool in warming spring temps. Basically, since maxi skirts are long and can be heavy, pair with a lighter shoe!

What shoes to wear with party dresses
Pump up your party outfits with one of my favorite kinds of shoes: platform pumps! The height will make your legs look miles long, and they’re actually a lot comfier to wear long-term than regular pumps IMO. Shop my favorite platform pumps below:
What shoes to wear with maxi dresses
A summer wardrobe staple, the maxi dress, meets its perfect match in platform mules! Height can be helpful if your maxi is a little on the long side, and mules are comfy and summery. Shop my favorite platform mules below:
What shoes to wear with wide leg trousers
Shoes can get lost under wide leg trousers, and I’ve found that covered shoes like boots or sneakers can look heavy. If you want a flat shoe that stands on its own under wide leg trousers, embellished ballet flats are your best bet! The embellishment stands out, and the little peek of skin at the top of the shoe keeps things looking light. Shop my favorite embellished ballet flats below:
What shoes to wear with denim maxi skirts
I have tried DOZENS of shoes with denim maxi skirts and never found a perfect match until now: lace up heeled knee high boots! With these, they’ll elongate your leg under a weighty skirt and stand out under the classic denim skirt slit. Shop my favorite lace up heeled knee high boots below:
What shoes to wear with cropped pants
Cropped pants can sometimes make legs look shorter, so the perfect counteract to this is a pair of flatforms! Flatforms = flat platforms = comfort! I personally love these because they’re great for height minus the pain of heels. Shop my favorite flatforms below:
What shoes to wear with boot leg jeans
You might think “bootcut jeans = boots” but jump out of the box a bit! I’m a Y2K girl, so I love bootcut jeans with a classic sneaker (like Nike Air Force Ones!). Shop my favorite sneakers for women below:
What shoes to wear with flare jeans
Avoid the awkward pool at the bottom of flare jeans with heeled booties! I love booties with heels because they’re a looot more walkable than pumps, and the height is perfect for a nice long leg line in flare jeans. Shop my favorite high heel booties below:
What shoes to wear with mini dresses
I love a good mini dress, and a classic pairing is a pair of pumps! For a lengthening effect, pointed toe pumps are the top choice. Shop my favorite pointed toe pumps below:
