I’ll admit, last summer I fell prey to buying trendy pieces, just to look at them this year and realize they don’t really go with much of what I have now. So this summer I’m committed to finding pieces that can pair with multiple already-existing items in my wardrobe. And since flowy skirts will always be a summer staple, I rounded up these 17 flowy and slimming skirts that’ll go with all of my shoes including tennis shoes, sandals, heels and more.
Of course, I avoided any skirts that would end up looking frumpy and focused on the ones that’ll make the body look slimmer. I picked out everything from popular crochet and linen styles to even eye-catching skirts that’ll make a statement for years to come. No matter which style it is, they’re all versatile enough to be dressed all the way up with heels or all the way down with tennis shoes.
