The Coolest Londoners Will Live in This Easy Skirt and Shoe Pairing All Spring
Looking chic this spring is easy—just pair this new skirt trend with these classic shoes.
As spring begins to settle, I’ve started searching for some easy outfit formulas I can carry into the warmer months. And this week, Iris Law has spotlighted a combination I can already picture taking off in London. Swerving the jeans-and-loafers uniform many of us are still reaching for, Iris stepped out in a trending sheer skirt, grounding the look with a pair of dark blue ballet flats.
Whilst knee-length skirts worn with ballet flats can sometimes visually shorten the leg, Iris's light, sheer fabric sidestepped this predicament, instead creating an airy, fluid and playful look, entirely aligned with her relaxed sense of style.
Though she debuted the outfit in L.A., I’d wager it won’t be long before this combination becomes a fixture across London. Come summer, I suspect no beer garden or park picnic will be without at least a handful of sheer skirts styled just so.
Whilst it's true that sheer skirts can feel a little daunting at first, Iris paired hers with a longer-line top, making the gauzy skirt feel far easier to wear. Meanwhile, the ballet flats ensured the lasting comfort needed for city days, while adding a level of polish that trainers simply can’t replicate.
Safe to say, I’ll be welcoming this two-piece into my daily spring rotation. Scroll on to discover and shop the best sheer skirts and ballet flats to try the look this season, too.
