There's One Shoe Style That Looks Best With Miniskirts, and I Have Visual Proof
Cool girl approved.
I never thought I'd see the day, but it's officially miniskirt season. I have a few miniskirts I kept tucked away during the winter, and I searched for cool spring shoe trends to style them with while I waited for the snow to thaw. Not much was inspiring me, but one recent outfit finally has. Alana Haim was just spotted wearing an edgy shoe trend with her miniskirt that's been living in my mind rent-free for the past few days: knee-high black leather boots.
Her outfit had cool model-off-duty vibes in spades, and her shoe choice had a lot to do with that. Black leather knee-high boots aren't always considered a spring shoe trend, but this outfit begs to differ. While we all think of boots for winter, I encourage you to consider styling them for spring like Haim did—with a skirt, simple tank top, and shoulder bag. (I would love to also carry a monogrammed Louis Vuitton east-west bag.) Her leather knee-high boots made the look so much cooler, adding a subtly edgy contrast to an otherwise basic look.
